Pharmacological intervention: Medication plays a vital role in therapeutic intervention, particularly in managing various mental health conditions and chronic diseases. Psychiatrists and medical doctors prescribe drugs tailored to individual needs.

Speech and language therapy: This therapy helps individuals with speech and communication disorders, such as stuttering or aphasia, to improve their communication skills.

Rehabilitation services: These services are essential for people recovering from addiction, including drug or alcohol abuse. Rehabilitation centers offer a supportive environment to help individuals overcome addiction.
