Rehabilitation Institute of Michigan

The Rehabilitation Institute of Michigan (RIM) has a 26-bed unit dedicated to brain injury rehabilitation. In addition to brain injury, RIM treats patients suffering from other serious injuries or illnesses.  RIM is also home to the Southeastern Michigan Traumatic Brain Injury System (SEMTBIS), one of 16 Centers of Excellence for the care and treatment of persons with traumatic brain injury. Brain injury rehabilitation patients work with therapists on everyday living skills such as dressing, bathing, walking and cooking. Individualized treatment plans are provided by a team of health care professionals, who are led by a physiatrist (a physician who specializes in physical medicine and rehabilitation). In addition to a physiatrist, the team includes specialists in Internal Medicine; Neuropsychology; Rehabilitation Nursing; Nutrition; Occupational Therapy; Physical Therapy; Social Work; Speech-Language Pathology, and Therapeutic Recreation.
