Most of the people AWP supports live in their own homes and are
supported by community services, within their own family and social
networks. For those people who cannot live in their own
homes due to the complexity, intensity and unpredictability of
their condition, our inpatient services provide specialist
investigation, assessment and intervention.
The vast majority of those receiving
treatment in inpatient wards are there voluntarily in the same way
that people with physical health illnesses can be admitted to
hospital.
About 25% of service users in an
inpatient unit within AWP are detained under the Mental Health
Act.
Below are some of the main specialist
services we provide in our inpatient units.
