Medical treatment alone is often not enough to support patients through the lengthy course of therapy.

People often face language barriers, financial difficulties, homelessness, or substance use disorders. In addition, issues related to residency status can jeopardize the successful completion of therapy.  

A network comprising treating physicians, public health services, government agencies (Immigration Office, Social Services), and social counseling centers can maintain close communication and collaborate effectively, ensuring that such problems are identified and resolved at an early stage.
