About Clifton Lawns
Adults with enduring mental health issues, including personality disorder, can receive specialist rehabilitation at Clifton Lawns. The 20-bed unit is nurse-led and provides 24-hour registered mental health nurse cover for people admitted on a supervised community treatment order, conditional discharge or informal basis.
Each service user works with staff on an individual treatment plan and therapeutic programme focused on recovery, resilience, skills and personal goals. A comprehensive pre-admission assessment informs predictive care and risk-management plans before an offer of placement. Admissions generally take place after a trial period pending full discharge from the current setting.
