Southern Hill Hospital is preparing to open a new specialist Addiction Treatment Service for adults aged 18 and over, providing high-quality, person-centred support for individuals affected by substance misuse and co-occurring mental health needs.
Our new service is being developed to offer compassionate, evidence-based care within a safe and therapeutic environment where individuals can begin rebuilding stability, confidence, and independence.
Approach to Recovery
At Southern Hill Hospital, recovery will be supported through a fully integrated model of care that combines clinical expertise, therapeutic intervention, and holistic wellbeing support. Our aim is to provide a service where people feel respected, understood, and empowered throughout their recovery journey.
We recognise that addiction impacts every individual differently. Our programmes will therefore focus on personalised treatment pathways designed around each person’s strengths, goals, and support needs.
Acute Care Services
Our acute care services are tailored to assist those who are either detained under the Mental Health Act or admitted informally. These services are crucial for individuals undergoing an acute phase of mental illness, often in crisis. Upon admission, each patient collaborates with our multidisciplinary team to establish a personalised care pathway. This pathway focuses on immediate stabilisation, comprehensive treatment, and a well-planned discharge process, ensuring a smooth transition to community care or other appropriate services.
