Milieu/Community Therapy

Milieu therapy can be defined as the type of treatment in which the patient's social environment is manipulated for his benefit. 

One type of this treatment is the therapeutic community, in which patients stay at a residence where they lead a highly structured life.  This approach can be used for substance abusers, or people with severe disorders that impair their ability to function in normal living.
