Many burn victims require psychological counseling to cope with both the trauma of the injury and, depending on the location and severity of the burn, the impact on their appearance. Occupational therapy and vocational rehabilitation may be necessary if the injuries affect the ability to perform everyday tasks or job-related activities. Victims may need physical therapy to assist with issues affecting mobility (particularly if the burns are on the arms and legs or affect the joints). Hospitalization may be necessary until the victim’s condition stabilizes, after which he or she may be transferred to a burn center for specialized care.
