About South Hills Tertiary Psychiatric Rehabilitation Centre

South Hills Tertiary Psychiatric Rehabilitation consists of two - 20 bed units specifically designed for the treatment of adults with serious and persistent symptoms of mental illness.    This program is focused on rehabilitation and recovery with the goal of preparing individuals for community reintegration.    Admission is by physician referral only.   In most cases individuals will be transferred from hospital to hospital using Patient Transport or ambulance services.    

The programs within the tertiary umbrella of services are provided within the service delivery framework of psychosocial rehabilitation and recovery.   Rehabilitation combines empowering principles with practical strategies in facilitating recovery for individuals with serious and persistent mental illness.  The goal is to improve the quality of life for individuals by assisting them to assume responsibility over their lives and to function as actively and independently in society as possible.  The programs are designed to both strengthen the individual’s skills and to develop the environmental supports necessary to sustain the individual in the community.
