When treating an abused animal, it is important to provide supportive care that meets the individual needs of the animal. For example, for injured animals, this may include immobilizing and bandaging any injured limbs, or even surgical repair of serious injuries. Additionally, animals may need to be housed in a safe environment while they recover.

Once the animal has regained a healthy physical condition and displays normal behavior, it can then be released back into the wild. For releases of endangered species or ones with specific habitat requirements, a suitable release site must be found; this involves researching and identifying locations where the animal will have adequate food sources and cover from predators.

Upon release back into their natural environment, it is critical to continue providing support through monitoring programs which will allow rehabilitators to track their progress and ensure their safe return.

Additionally specialized training should be conducted before any wildlife release so that people handling them understand the necessary protocols required when dealing with particular species as well as general principles such as minimizing stress during handling/transportation. 

Overall; before releasing an abused or injured animal back into its natural habitat proper care must be provided first in order to ensure its health and wellbeing can be maintained once released.

An abused animal should be cared for and stabilized by a veterinarian. Afterwards, depending on the severity of the abuse, the animal can receive behavior modification through positive reinforcement in order to help it become healthy enough to be released back into the wild. This should only be done by professionals with experience in behavioral modification of wild animals. Once the animal has regained its health, it is generally recommended to release it back into its natural habitat after providing it with a period of supervised freedom in a specialized enclosure that mimics its natural environment as much as possible.
