Service lines
Acute care / Addictions / Assessment & brief treatmentAcute services provide assessment and treatment for adults with acute/severe mental illness. This may mean a person needs care as an inpatient in hospital for a period of time or intensive support through a Home Treatment Team in the community. / Our addictions service is one of the largest in the country and covers seven boroughs in London. The services cover a range of specialist drug and alcohol community treatment options for clients and families affected by substance misuse. A specialist inpatient service is based in Ealing. In 2008 we opened the first NHS ‘problem gambling’ clinic. / Assessment and brief treatment services provide a single point of contact for GP’s, primary care practitioners and local mental health organisations. These services provide short-term interventions in the community for people with mild to moderate mental health needs, including improving access to psychological therapies.

Child and Adolescents / Community recovery / Eating disorders
Children and young people have different mental health needs to adults and therefore require specialist services. CAMHS services are provided mostly in the community and we have an inpatient service for 8-13 year olds. Family therapy also plays an important role. We also provide perinatal services to new mothers experiencing mental health problems. / Our community recovery treatments help people continue living independently whilst promoting recovery. This may be through early intervention teams for people experiencing their first episode of psychosis; through a Community Recovery Team for people who require ongoing support; or through day services and personalised care. / Support for people with an eating disorder, such as anorexia or bulimia, is provided at the Vincent Square Eating Disorder Service in Westminster and Northwick Park Hospital in Harrow. Inpatient, outpatient and day patient treatments are available to service users.
