• Assist patients in identifying and accessing vital community resources, such as support groups, vocational rehabilitation services, and housing assistance, that can bolster their recovery and reintegration efforts.
\n
• Empower patients and families by offering education regarding community resources and post-rehabilitation services, ensuring families are well-equipped to support their loved ones post-discharge.
\n
• Participate actively in discharge planning initiatives, facilitating transitions from our detox setting to home or appropriate follow-up care environments.
