La intervención del trabajo social en los programas de rehabilitación y reinserción social : una revisión documental a los aportes metodológicos en el contexto ecuatoriano y regional.

Abstract

The present research is a descriptive documentary analysis, focused on the intervention of Social Work within the processes of rehabilitation and social reintegration in the local and regional context. The purpose of this study is to identify the theoretical and methodological contributions of Social Work and to highlight the challenges it faces in the aforementioned processes, comparing the local and regional situation with the European reality represented in research and scientific articles from Spain. The need for this research arises from the deficits that exist in rehabilitation and social reintegration systems, where the lack of programs and social assistance systems based on social intervention hinders and limits the achievement of rehabilitation and reintegration of the users of these systems. It is argued that proper rehabilitation and reintegration have direct positive impacts on the quality of life and social development, reducing criminality and its socioeconomic costs.
