Psychiatric rehabilitation is an aspect of treatment that focuses on helping the person return to an optimal level of functioning and achieve their life goals. This is achieved by providing medical, psychological and social support.

There is no strict line between treatment and rehabilitation. It is based on daily, individualized support and strengthening of skills. Rehabilitation programs can be medium to long term (4 weeks to 12 months) and provide a range of support services including individual and group counselling, physical health and wellness and skills training.
