This paper presents a framework for examining the costs and benefits of psychiatric rehabilitation and illustrates the framework with case examples. Data are presented for three program models: supported employment, psychosocial rehabilitation centers, and training for consumers to work in the human service field. The per diem and annual per diem costs varied widely, as did benefits to consumers. Of these approaches, only the supported employment approach had evidence for a cost offset in the form of reduced mental health service utilization.
