Implementation of Psychiatric Rehabilitation Strategies in Real-Life Treatment Settings for Adults with Severe Mental Illness

Abstract In the present article we describe the implementation of psychiatric rehabilitation technologies in a variety of routine mental health settings in Rochester, New York. We briefly review the literature on specific psychiatric rehabilitation strategies, which are diverse in nature but share a common goal to minimize the disability associated severe mental illness. The challenges involved in implementing novel treatments in pre-existing mental health programs are also emphasized. Descriptions of barriers encountered during the implementation process in six different settings illustrate how these evidence-based treatment strategies can successfully be offered to consumers at various stages of recovery. The present article will be useful for mental health clinicians and administrators to encourage the long-term implementation of evidence-based practices and clarify the role of psychiatric rehabilitation in enhancing services for people with severe mental illness.
