This includes working with the patient, his family and significant other persons, utilizing such personnel and modalities as are appropriate to the needs of the patient. As one of the services in the continuum of care established by the county program, outpatient services may precede or follow inpatient care for some individuals and for others may continue while they receive rehabilitative services including sheltered workshop or training services.
