The rehabilitation homes are the first steps in the rehabilitation system. In these homes the rehabilitates get long-term and continuous support and supervision in all matters concerning their everyday lives. Counsellors and clients work side by side and activities are planned and done together. On a daily basis and in workgroups they prepare meals and do other household work. Guidance is given in groups or individually depending on the situation.
Community meetings take place to practise communication and to give information.
The meetings also serve in structuring the day, improving the communication and exchanging opinions in the group of residents. The second step is in the supported apartments and homes , where the support is lower compared to the rehabilitation homes. At this second level clients need to live more independently in the community. The residents are expected to participate in the program of a day center or a workshop. A final step in the housing rehabilitation programme is the sublet apartment .
