Rehabilitation programs (rehabilitatsiooniprogrammides) are structured services aimed at helping individuals recover function and participate in daily life after injury, illness, or disability. They aim to reduce disability, promote independence, and improve quality of life.

These programs span health, social, and vocational domains and are delivered in hospitals, clinics, community centers, or at home. They rely on multidisciplinary teams and patient-centered goals.

Key components include assessment, individualized planning, physical and occupational therapy, speech and language therapy, cognitive rehabilitation, education for patients and families, psychosocial support, case management, and discharge planning.

Common types include physical rehabilitation after stroke or trauma, neurological and cognitive rehabilitation, pediatric and geriatric programs, addiction rehabilitation, and vocational rehabilitation, as well as community-based or home-based formats.

Evidence shows rehabilitation can improve functional outcomes and participation for many conditions, particularly after stroke, spinal cord injury, or brain injury, when started early and delivered at sufficient intensity and continuity, integrated with medical care.

Access depends on funding, insurance coverage, workforce capacity, and service integration across health and social sectors. Challenges include resource constraints, geographic disparities, adherence, and measuring long-term outcomes.
