84. The mission of a rehabilitation centre is to offer adjustment, rehabilitation and social integration services to persons who, by reason of physical or mental impairment, behavioral disorders or psychosocial or family difficulties, or because of an alcohol, gambling or drug addiction or any other addiction, require such services, as well as persons to accompany them, or support services for their families and friends.
To that end, every institution which operates such a centre shall receive, on referral, young persons with adjustment problems and persons with an impairment and, mainly on referral, persons with an addiction and mothers with adjustment problems; it shall ensure that their needs are assessed and the required services offered to them within its facilities or within the person’s own environment, in school, at work or at home or, where necessary, that they are referred, as soon as possible, to the centres, organizations or persons best suited to assist them.
