Rehabilitation is provided in a therapeutic setting, with a level of security matched to individual needs. The aim of the treatment, rehabilitation and re-socialisation programme is to prepare the individuals in our care either for transfer to an environment of lesser security, or for a life in the community.

Our dedicated clinical teams provide a multi-disciplinary approach to rehabilitation. This includes an occupational therapist, consultant psychiatrist, hospital manager, clinical manager, psychologist, assistant psychologist, occupational therapist, responsible clinician, ward manager, OT support and team leaders.

As part of our therapy programme we offer an integrated approach, utilising and combining models such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialetical Behavioural Therapy and Schema-informed therapy.

We promote physical health, wellbeing and meaningful occupation as part of our treatment programme, using strong community links to facilitate individualised wellbeing plans.
