The service offers a phased treatment pathway which aims to help the individual understand and plan their journey through treatment.

We have collaboratively created our model of care based on an integrated approach whereby family, service users, commissioners and carers are all involved in the rehabilitation and recovery of the individual.

The aim of the treatment and rehabilitation programme is to equip those in our care with the skills and confidence they need to navigate challenges that may come with returning to community or independent living.
