title: For those left behind. An educational inpatient rehabilitation program.
abstract: 1. An interdisciplinary program model was developed for the treatment of mentally ill individuals remaining in long-term state mental institutions that focused on self-maintenance, social functioning, and community living skills. 2. Patients were categorized according to their levels of functioning and diagnoses, and were assigned to programs that were developed to meet the needs of a specific group of patients. 3. The goals of the program were to enhance the quality of life for the patients; promote self-direction and capacity for self-care by increasing the patient's opportunities to make life decisions; and prepare the patients to live in a less restrictive environment.
