At The Behman, we offer a wide range of options to address different needs and conditions. For some patients, this may mean long or short stays as inpatients at The Behman where they can receive a more intense or structured approach to their treatment or separate themselves from the everyday situations that may be contributing to their condition. Other patients require treatments which can only be delivered in an inpatient setting or need 24/7 nursing care. Inpatient treatment is offered for patients seeking treatment for general psychiatric conditions, substance use and addictive disorders, learning disabilities and old age-related disorders.
PROGRAMME DETAILS
We provide various inpatient accommodation options in a restful environment designed to encourage recovery. Our staff members are always on hand to help patients and their families understand the types of therapy available to them and help them choose the most fitting option.
