The interdisciplinary services and programs offered to patients are considered one of the most important elements in their rehabilitation These services are organized in such a way as to achieve efficient treatment rehabilitation and a return to the community as soon as patients are able to make that transition

Over the years a number of patients have left the hospital to return to live with their families or have been placed in special care homes or nursing homes This effort has been ongoing since the early 60s and an increasing number of patients have effectively returned to live and work in their community The continuity of care for these patients is assured through the cooperation of hospital employees with the community mental health centres that maintain support to these patients
