Problems Faced By Rehab Centers
Many of the problems in rehabilitation in the third world countries arise due to the lack of financial resources. The lack of financial resources causes difficulty in regular continuation of medication and subsequent relapse of the illness. The lack of job opportunities also interferes with the rehabilitation. Sometimes societal insensitivity and expressed emotions in a family are responsible for the reemergence of the psychiatric symptoms. While in some cases long term stay in hospital also interferes in rehabilitation, because long-term hospital stay may produce the secondary negative symptoms in a patient. The difficulties also arise due to lack of trained staff and psychiatrists. The burn out problem cause rapid turnover to the staff and the staff have to be train again. The bureaucratic hurdles also slow down the processes of the rehabilitation. The field of rehabilitation is also preferred less by the psychiatrists.
This study is quite significant as it shows us the problems faced by rehab centers in different departments for example a rehab center may have problems in its management or maybe it does not have enough finance to run the center. Other factors such as the staff, infrastructure and government aid can contribute to the problems rehabilitation centers face.
With this study we can conclude what the problems are and how we can rectify them or if it is even possible to rectify them at all.
The research faces certain limitations in terms of time and geography. Time allotted for this study is 3 weeks i.e. 1st March 2013-22nd March 2013. Additionally, the research has been limited to Ehsas Clinic located on 21-A Ghosia Colony link, Wahdat road, Lahore.
