community reintegration
Return to belonging
Community reintegration is the process of helping someone return to normal life in society after a period of separation—typically following incarceration, hospitalization, military deployment, or addiction treatment.
The term emphasizes reconnecting with family, employment, housing, and social networks: The program focuses on community reintegration for veterans.
In healthcare, it often refers specifically to helping patients with injuries or disabilities resume participation in daily activities outside institutional settings.
