The development of community treatment in Slovenia - first outcomes.
This paper describes how a team who would work in the community with patients from the rehabilitation unit of Ljubljana psychiatric hospital was developed and what the results of treatment of a group of these patients were in terms of admission and relapse rate. The admission and relapse rate of these patients was markedly reduced by working assertively with them in the community.
