In order to serve and categorize patients, there are two departments in the hospital like in patient and out patient.

In patient rehabilitation assists victims to recover from respective problems inside of the hospital itself. A physiatrist is generally the person who is assigned of this responsibility. A physiatrist is a medical practitioner who specializes in general medicine and also rehabilitation.

An outpatient rehabilitation center is one that helps to recover patients but while exposing them to outer environments. This type of rehab is given to those patients who have almost or partially recovered enough to go home and to give them a classical conditioning of the same, outpatient rehab is given to help them become a more balanced individual.

•Physical Therapy- Physical therapy is another important and the most common type of rehabilitation. It follows the simple process of medicating a patient and at the same time helps a victim come out of any disturbances, physically. Basically, this therapy is directed to patients who are primarily suffering from physical illness.

•Occupational Therapy- An occupational therapy or OT directs at patients to improve and maintain hygienic conditions like grooming and house hold maintenance. It gives the patient a full dummy of the environment he/she has forgot to use and helps him/her to return to their normal self, like the use of which part for what use and so on.

•Speech/swallowing Therapy- This therapy of rehabilitation helps a person regain his lost order of speech that has now become impaired due to the problem he underwent. Also it makes sure the patient is not having swallowing of food problem. Has this not been corrected, it would become very important for the patient to recover quickly as he won’t be able to swallow food and medicines, making him go down in the process of getting fully treated?

•Balance Therapy- This theory is intended for those patients who have lost their body balance or having partial difficulty in balancing the same. The theory helps them become balanced and manage their daily activities in a more medically correct manner.

•Vision Therapy- Just like a physical therapy is for your body to make it sure it works as desired by it to work under normal conditions, a vision therapy is for your eyes. Under the theory, it is made sure that the patient is able to see properly. A muscle that controls the vision department is made to work efficiently thereby, working on those so that the vision makes normal.

•Classical Conditioning- It is a concept of Psychology. Under this important post, the subject is exposed to a thing for some responses. Upon sight of things, the subject begins to salivate and do his activity to gain the same. A cue is also attached to the thing before arrival. For an instance, a dog is exposed to meat pieces only after the ringing of the bell. Thus, the ring becomes the clue or cue that he is shortly being served with the dish and salivates. However, upon passage of sometime, the dish is withdrawn and even on that account, just by ringing the bell (clue or clue) the subject is able to salivate thereby indicating that he has learned the behavior. Even in rehabilitation theories this is practiced to bring back the patients to the normalcy of life in its correct format.

Various rehabilitation programs are done by various NGOs to help various ill-fated sufferers to come back to the fore of life.

Drug rehab is another center for drug addicts, while alcohol rehab for alcoholic people to get dished out from the same. In other scenarios, addiction rehab and prisoner rehabilitations are for reforming bad criminals and people who are addicted to various stimuli.
