In conditions of a wide use of psychopharmacological drugs the main trend in the activities of a day hospital is prevention of admissions to a mental hospital by elimination of relapses and exacerbations in these patients. Partial hospitalization and consolidation of the results of hospital treatment (stabilization of remissions in the patients, treated in a hospital) must be accomplished with the aid of a complex of psycho-social influences against the background of psychopharmacotherapy. In order to stabilize remissions patients with different types and depths of remissions may be transferred from a mental hospital to a day hospital. To eliminate relapses and exacerbations patients with different types of remissions may be referred to a day hospital. A day hospital functioning in the framework of the team-territory system is a leading organizing link in rehabilitation of mental patients.
