Rehabilitation Services are also available for both male and female patients in this Institute. These have been started for the reintegration of psychotic patients when they regain insight or their illness has been controlled.
Female patients are involved in sewing clothes, embroidery and making decoration pieces of various types.
Psychiatric Rehabilitation
Psychiatric rehabilitation (also known as psychosocial rehabilitation) is a term used to refer to the process of restoration of community functioning and well-being of an individual diagnosed with mental health or emotional disorder and who may be considered to have a psychiatric disability. The field of psychiatric rehabilitation aims to help persons with long-term psychiatric disabilities increase their functioning so that they are successful and satisfied in the environments of their choice, with the least amount of ongoing professional intervention (Farkas & Anthony, 1989).
