Specialist Adult Services
We recognise that each person who comes to us has a unique story to tell and a unique path to healing.
Our concern for the human being behind the illness is reflected in our emphasis on privacy, dignity, respect and choice for each individual
The Specialist Adult Service provides treatment within two specialist units:
Naomi is a specialist service for adults using a treatment approach informed by Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) in a therapeutic environment which promotes recovery from a range of problems. These include eating disorders, mood disorders and anxiety disorders including obsessive compulsive disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
The Acorn Programme is a Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) informed Therapeutic Community. The programme uses intensive psychological therapies for women who engage in self-defeating behaviours including self-harm and disordered eating to cope with emotions and with relationships. Many have experienced trauma or abuse.
Both units are approximately 5-10 minutes walk to the centre of York, overlooking extensive, picturesque gardens. Accommodation is provided in single rooms with en-suite facilities.
