Psychiatric rehabilitation
Psychiatric Rehabilitation is a branch of rehabilitation focusing on helping people diagnosed with mental health conditions to live in the community to their fullest potential. This field of healthcare is dedicated to the recovery and improved quality of life for people experiencing mental health issues.
Overview[edit]
Psychiatric rehabilitation services are a combination of psychosocial interventions designed to teach people with mental illness the skills they need to function in the community in the least restrictive environment. These services are collaborative, person-directed, and individualized. They are an essential element of the human services spectrum, and should be evidence-based.
Principles[edit]
The principles of psychiatric rehabilitation are:
- Person Orientation: The rehabilitation process must begin with the individual's strengths, needs, preferences, and goals.
- Person Involvement: The person must be a full partner in the services provided.
- Community Integration: The ultimate goal of psychiatric rehabilitation is full integration of the person into the community.
Services[edit]
Psychiatric rehabilitation services may include:
- Skills Training: Teaching the skills necessary for living, learning, working, socializing, and recreation.
- Supportive Employment: Helping people find and keep jobs in the community.
- Supported Education: Assisting people to start or return to school.
- Integrated Treatment for Co-occurring Disorders: Treating both mental health and substance use disorders together.
- Case Management: Coordinating services and supports between multiple providers.
