How To Decide if Rehabilitation Is Necessary?
In order to decide that rehabilitation is required for an adult, three conditions must be met:
- A Mental Health Professional or MHP must diagnose the person as having a serious mental illness
- The person's behavioral health diagnosis must recognize either a functional impairment OR interference with the person's functioning
- Evidence that the functional impact of the mental illness interferes with the person's achievement of his or her own life or recovery goals
