Post-Rehabilitation Care is very effective in helping the patient manage their symptoms, prevent relapses, and have a productive and fulfilling life without letting their bipolar disorder take control over them.
The bipolar patient, post their discharge from a rehabilitation facility, is required to engage in follow-up sessions with professionals including psychiatrists, therapists, family therapists, etc. for ongoing medications and therapy sessions so that they are able to maintain their recovery long-term.
Since bipolar disorder is a lifelong condition, it is important that the patient is involved in long-term follow-up appointments with the relevant professionals that help them maintain their recovery. Once they find themselves able to manage living with the disorder well, they may choose to increase the intervals between follow-up sessions.
