Priory Hospital Roehampton

We are able to provide established treatment for a wide range of conditions, including:

• Mental healthconditions, such as depression, anxiety and stress
• Addictions
• Eating disorders

Specialised mental health treatment in London

Mental health problems, including depression, anxiety and stress, can reduce an individual’s psychological wellbeing, have a negative impact on their physical health, and impair their ability to function effectively on a day-to-day basis. At Roehampton, we understand that without effective, professional help, mental health conditions are likely to become gradually worse over time, leading to a whole host of negative consequences including relationship breakdowns, problems at work and potentially even leading to the development of further mental health problems.

Garden Wing, Roehampton's general acute ward, is dedicated to delivering high quality treatment for a range of mental health conditions. All treatment is tailored according to the specific needs of each individual, ensuring that positive outcomes and personalised recovery are achieved.

If you or someone that you know is suffering from a mental health problem, it is important to know that you are not alone; effective, expert treatment is available. At Roehampton, our residential, outpatient and day care patients are provided with every resource that they need, empowering them to tackle their mental health concerns, and achieve long-lasting mental wellbeing and recovery.

Addictions, whether these are addictions to substances such as alcohol or drugs, or other forms of behavioural addictions such as gambling, love and sex, and internet addictions, can have a hugely detrimental impact on your quality of life, your relationships and your physical and mental wellbeing. Without expert addictions treatment, your addictive behaviours are unlikely to go away on their own and may result in a range of long-term negative consequences and co-occurring mental health problems.

Roehampton’s Addiction Treatment Programme offers established treatment for a wide range of addictions, and is guided by the well-known 12-Step treatment philosophy, which combines abstinence and an individual’s spirituality. Our patient-centred approach places you at the heart of the treatment journey and involves you within the decision-making process, resulting in the most positive outcomes for you as an individual.

Our addiction rehabilitation treatment programme includes:

• Free, no obligation addiction assessment - book your appointment today
• 7-day medically supervised detoxification
• 1:1 and group therapy
• A family/friends/couples programme
• On-site support groups
• Free aftercare for life
• Free family support for life

All therapy delivered as part of Roehampton’s Addiction Treatment Programme is consultant-led, with input from our addiction therapists and dedicated peer supporters. We are also able to treat co-occurring conditions and dual diagnosis, addressing the root causes of these issues, as well as the addiction itself.

For further information on how you could overcome your addiction at Roehampton, and achieve lifelong recovery, please view our brochure.

Eating disorders are serious and complex conditions that can have a destructive impact on an individual’s physical and mental health, as well as their relationships and general quality of life. If you or someone that you know is suffering from an eating disorder, it is important to recognise that established, expert eating disorder treatment is available.

At Roehampton, our eating disorder treatment service provides effective treatment programmes for a number of eating disorders including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder (BED) and other specified feeding or eating disorders (OSFED), which may also be known as ‘eating disorders not otherwise specified (EDNOS)’. Our tried and tested eating disorders programme focuses on the psychological, social, behavioural and physical sides of your condition.

We are also able to provide an enhanced outpatient programme for eating disorders at Priory Hospital Roehampton, which is a comprehensive three-month programme that provides an alternative to inpatient treatment for eating disorders. The programme is designed to offer a more intensive form of outpatient therapy, aiming to normalise an individual’s eating habits, stabilise their weight, reduce negative thoughts and behaviours and ultimately, enable patients to step-down when they are ready. Our eating disorder outpatient programme is available to adults.

We are also able to offer a dedicated Young People’s Service at Priory Hospital Roehampton, providing inpatient mental health support to young people between the ages of 12 and 17. The 6-bedded service has been specifically designed to empower young people to understand and manage their mental health needs during this important and transitional phase of their lives.

The service is suitable for young people who are experiencing mental health issues, including depression, anxiety disorders, school phobia, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Our flexible services include outpatient and day care appointments, intensive residential care, a dedicated young people’s service and an adult eating disorders unit. Our wide range of services are led by world renowned specialists in the field of mental health and addictions, and are tailored according to individual needs, ensuring the best possible outcomes for each and every one of our patients.

At Roehampton, we also provide our patients with access to the local community, as we recognise that this is a vital step for promoting recovery and long-term independence.

In addition, a variety of shops, libraries, supermarkets and community colleges are a walk or short bus ride away from Roehampton, meaning that external activities on our treatment programmes can be fully tailored to each patient’s interests.
