Issues in developing quality aftercare clinics for the chronic mentally ill
Abstract
Two large aftercare clinics were established to provide treatment and rehabilitative care for a chronic mentally ill population requiring neuroleptic drugs. The clinics have evolved rapidly and expanded their service over the past 3 years but have required constant monitoring and modification in order to provide quality as well as quantity care in the community setting. These modifications are described and the importance of further community-based investigation in the rehabilitation and treatment of the chronic mentally ill is stressed.
