IntroductionModern psychiatry includes within its purposes to reintegrate patients into society. Our work's goal is to evaluate in terms of outcome, the current status of patients that underwent the rehabilitation program in a clinic in Centro Hospitalar Psiquiátrio de lisboa, in Lisbon.MethodsThe methods consisted of retrospective evaluation of the sample of patients that successfully completed the rehabilitation program between 2012 and 2015. Gender, age, provenience, previous and current socio-economic situations were taken into account.DiscussionTwelve patients concluded the program in the timeframe studied: 64 % males and 36 % between the ages of 36 and 40 and more than half were in homelessness situations. They progressed in increasing levels of autonomy and by the program's end, ten were dismissed and two were still waiting for housing. Ten of the patients are now living with their families or have been integrated in social housing program. Two await conditions to leave the hospital.ConclusionThe program had a positive impact on the life of all patients that have engaged in it. Only two remain waiting social housing responses. Although the results are satisfactory, the number of patients admitted must improve in coming years.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.
