This section will tell you all about what you can expect to happen now that you have left hospital.

Remember that you have been through an awful lot already. You are now on the road to adjustment.

This can be both a happy and stressful time so you might have very mixed feelings about leaving hospital.

Hospital can be a very safe place. It is quite common for people who have been very sick and have spent a long time in hospital to feel familiar, safe and secure being there. This is because they have all of the doctors and nurses around and know there is help at hand if they need it. Going out into the real world can seem very frightening and some people don’t want to go.

Rehabilitation, often called rehab for short, is a place where you can make the transition from being in hospital to going home. Going to rehabilitation is a positive move and can bring about lots of good changes in your life although it may not seem that way now.

Some people go to rehabilitation for a short period of time, other people go for longer. There are even some rehabilitation schools for children and teenagers.
