What is long-term rehabilitation at Cadabams?
Major psychiatric illnesses like Schizophrenia, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, personality disorders, and more sometimes result in severe disability and impairment. Individuals with these disorders have trouble continuing their education, employment, and other daily activities. In some severe cases, the individuals may become a threat to themselves and the people around them. Rehabilitation is the only treatment option that can help in recovery in such cases.
Further, individuals with such psychiatric illnesses can in some cases need continued care over a longer period. We, at Cadabams, understand this and towards this end, we have carefully crafted a long-term rehabilitation program that helps individuals improve their functioning while they are fighting the various symptoms of their disorder.
What does the program involve?
- Activities of Daily Living: Individuals facing psychiatric illnesses over a longer period face significant impairment and disability. This significantly impedes their ability to engage in activities necessary to manage their daily life. One of the goals of long-term rehabilitation at Cadabam’s is to help individuals regain independence in their activities of daily living. This includes managing their personal hygiene, sticking to a routine, and more.
- Individuals take part in activities in groups: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivation Enhancement Therapy, Reel Therapy, Guided Imagery, Therapeutic Yoga, Art, and Movement Therapy, and Music Therapy are examples of group treatments. These group treatments assist the individual in regaining social skills and developing healthy coping mechanisms in the face of their disease.
- Constant and Continued Care: Over a long period, psychiatric illnesses render a person in need of continuous assistance for their day-to-day activities. The long-term rehabilitation program at Cadabam’s ensures that individuals receive expert round-the-clock care as they focus on fighting their disorder.
- Supported Living and Employment: Cadabams has pioneered supported living and employment programs to help individuals who are fighting long-term psychiatric illnesses. Through the supported living program, we encourage individuals to conduct certain activities of daily living independently, while through the supported employment program we help individuals remain meaningfully employed under supervision as they pursue recovery from mental health disorders.
