The Woodbourne Priory Hospital Therapy and treatment programmes
Therapy Services at the Woodbourne Priory Hospital integrates day therapy for all of the patient groups: adult general psychiatry, eating disorders, addictions treatment, and adolescent services. Each patient receives an initial assessment, where a formulation is made, and the therapist and patient agree a package of care. Patients can work with the therapy services team whilst still inpatients, or can receive day patient or out patient care.

Family programme and aftercare
Within the addiction treatment programme, where possible, we encourage the patient's family to become involved in the treatment programme as this can help give a greater understanding of the illness - hopefully leading to a smoother recovery once the patient has returned home.
In addition to medical excellence we provide a safe relaxed atmosphere at the hospital, which facilitates the recovery process.
