Specialist Adult Services

We recognise that each person who comes to us has a unique story to tell and a unique path to healing.

Our concern for the human being behind the illness is reflected in our emphasis on privacy, dignity, respect and choice for each individual

The Specialist Adult Service provides treatment within three specialist units:

The Acorn Programme is a Therapeutic Community (TC) which uses Dialectical Behaviour Therapy for women with complex needs, predominantly women who meet the criteria for Borderline Personality Disorder and / or Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Naomi is a service for working age adults with complex needs, specialising in eating disorders, anxiety and mood disorders.  We specialise in treating people with more than one diagnosis which may include drug and alcohol misuse and personality disorder.

Hannah Mills unit provides assessment and rehabilitation for people with complex mental health problems, including psychosis and bipolar affective disorder.  It also offers treatment for alcohol addiction or abuse, for people identified as having a dual diagnosis,  We help people whose ability to maintain independence in the community is compromised by distress resulting from their life experience.
