Answer:
Hello,
The rehabilitation of mentally ill, physically ill and otherwise is unique to every case.
Mentally ill people may receive rehabilitation in the form of therapy such as Cognitive behavioural therapy which is designed to challenge patterns of thinking and replace them.
Therapy is often used in combination with other things depending on the severity of cases it may be used in combination with medicines.
Physically ill people is a much broader terms, rehabilitation may include physiotherapy which aims to help prevent disease and combat pain. They are commonly used for joint issues and movement however do other things as well.
Socially challenged people may suffer from a mental illness or it just may be their way of life. Some people do not like to be in crowded spaces or may not want to be put on the spot in a conversation. Things like social anxiety may be the cause for this however this is a just a guess. Rehabilitation would follow similar treatments as found in CBT Therapy and possibly simply confronting a fear.
Hope it helps.
