Treatment and care

The psychosocial treatment programme includes ‘RAID (Reinforce Appropriate, Implode Disruptive)’, CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy), DBT (dialectic behaviour therapy) and other evidenced-based approaches.

A comprehensive assessment of each person's need will be undertaken to create a care pathway which will address social, physical, intellectual and mental health needs within a specific and measurable care plan, regularly collated and reviewed through the CPA framework.
