Community Based Rehabilitation Services in Pocatello, ID
Community-based rehabilitation services (CBRS) are a type of psychosocial disability service that helps people to live as independently as possible in their own homes and communities. CBRS can provide a range of supports, including personal care, transportation, housing, and employment assistance. At Behavioral Enhancement Services & Treatment (BEST) Pocatello, our CBRS providers work closely with individuals and their families to identify and meet their unique needs.
Our services can make a tremendous difference in the lives of people with disabilities, helping them lead more independent, fulfilling lives. Thanks to our caregivers, people with psychosocial disabilities can remain active members of their communities and have greater control over their own lives.
Who are CBRS Specialists?
CBRS specialists are healthcare professionals who provide rehabilitative services to individuals with physical, mental, or developmental disabilities. These services may include physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, case management, community education, and psychological counseling. Our CBRS specialists work with individuals of all ages, from infants to adults.
All our caregivers are certified and experienced. They have a bachelor’s degree in one of the health-related fields, such as nursing, occupational therapy, or physical therapy. Many specialists also have a master’s or doctorate degree. In addition to their formal training, they also go through a period of on-the-job training before working with us.
How Does it Work?
Community-based rehabilitation services (CBRS) work to prevent, reduce, or mitigate the effects of disabling conditions by providing comprehensive, coordinated, and culturally competent services. Our services include but are not limited to case management, job training and placement, coping skills, crisis support, living skills, problem-solving skills, social skills, communication skills, transportation assistance, personal care services, and health and wellness programs.
We provide CBR services not only at the individual level but also work to promote community inclusion and support systems that enable people with psychosocial disabilities to fully participate in society. For example, our CBR services might help an individual with a disability find and maintain employment, as well as access transportation and housing that is affordable and accessible. Additionally, our services work to engage families, caregivers, and community members in order to create a long-lasting social change.
What are the Benefits?
CBRS is an internationally recognized approach to improving the quality of life of people with psychosocial disabilities. It involves disabled people, their families, and their communities in all aspects of rehabilitation, from needs assessment to planning and delivery of services. This approach has been shown to be effective in a wide range of settings and contexts.
The CBR programs are typically designed to address the specific needs of the community in which they are implemented. As a result, they are often more responsive to the unique needs of disabled people than traditional top-down approaches to rehabilitation. The participatory approach not only empowers disabled people and their families but also helps to ensure that services are delivered in a way that is culturally appropriate and accessible.
Community-based rehabilitation services can provide a number of benefits for individuals with mental illness. BEST can help to improve the quality of life for those living with such problems while also providing support for their families.
