A treatment program is something that helps improve the quality of life of a person. It can improve them physically, emotionally, socially, and/or mentally. By learning not to use recreational drugs (cannabis, heroin, and/or alcoholic beverages), speak in a loud voice, and/or talk in a rude manner, these people gain the social skills needed to have a social life (even in the boundaries of a mental hospital or group home). Places that use treatment programs include Woodview Manor in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. They also include the Norfolk Association for Community Living, Child and Parent Resource Institute, the Betty Ford Clinic, and other fine places.
Treatment programs are usually for children and adolescents, although they are occasionally prescribed for adults. However, treating adults is taken more serious than treating children or teenagers because their problems are rooted deeper through repression and self-implanted thoughts in their head. These programs are usually temporary, although others require lifelong residency. However, family members or next of kin can collect the deceased patient in their home cemetery in most instances. Exceptions are at high security mental hospitals and institutions that have their own cemeteries. Most treatment programs still allow patients to vote in elections, although a few programs require disenfranchisement through either a criminal record, a declaration of incompetency, or a certification that the patient is legally insane.
