Hyperacute Neuropsychiatric Rehabilitation – Now Accepting Referrals
Cygnet Victoria House have combined their acute psychiatric expertise with the established neuropsychiatric rehabilitation expertise of Cygnet St William’s, creating a unique and innovative pathway for men who find themselves in environments less conducive to recovery and stabilisation, or requiring a graded step through services from secure pathways.
