How do other departments use Rehab?

I would like to welcom Sean Peck to the FullyInvolvedFire Team. He will be our resident expert on Support Operations and Incident Rehab. Below is a post on our discussion forums created by Sean. I would like to quote his post, as I believe it sums up the mission of our website:
“The goal is to learn from each other, and build a better mouse trap.”
Thanks Sean -

To start this topic off, I would like to see how other departments use Rehab. What are the benchmarks that is needed to be met to establish a rehab sector per your agency? Do you have a SOP/SOG that covers this or is it done on the fly? Which units perform this function? Do you have specialized units that perform this function or do you have any available box respond for this duty? Most importantly, what are the benchmarks that your agency uses for being set free from rehab? Everyone is encouraged to reply whether you are metro career or rural volunteer. The goal is to learn from each other, and build a better mouse trap.
