Overview

Observational analysis shows high relapse rates in mental health care users post-rehabilitation, highlighting accessibility of substances and inadequate support.

Key Points

  • Relapse rates among mental health care users remain high post-rehabilitation due to substance accessibility and social networks.
  • Approximately 60% of mental health care users relapsed within six weeks after discharge from substance detoxification.
  • The assessment involved interviewing mental health care users and community psychiatric nurses to understand the challenges faced.
  • These findings underscore the urgent need for improved aftercare programs and support systems for mental health care users.
