The ultimate goal of the BRCT is to provide victims of torture with a combination of treatment and rehabilitation in order to allow full integration back into their homes and communities.  Early on, the BRCT recognized that complete rehabilitation could not occur with a little medication and a bandage.  Rehabilitation involves a multidisciplinary approach and at the BRCT, this approach has come to be known as the integrated rehabilitation approach (IRA).  The IRA consists of services at the BRCT including counseling, medical care, physiotherapy, psychotherapy, and legal assistance.  The IRA also involves group and family therapy, follow-ups including home visits and economic assistance. The BRCT also provides accommodation and meals at no cost at the “Bed and Breakfast” located on site. This is for people who have traveled long distances or are simply immobile at that moment. As part of the emergency team, there is always a core group of staff on the premises, even during “hartals” or strikes during which time the city shuts down.  Once the victims, especially of rural areas, are successfully integrated back into their communities, they will often form or join an organization known as a victim’s association (VA).  The VA is a self-help group for victims in order to support one another, future victims and as a means to prevent future torture occurrences from happening by spreading awareness.
