Diagnoses We Treat
This page sets out the conditions we work with, what each one looks like in practice, and where to read more. We treat mental health conditions and addiction together, because in most of the people who come to us they arrive together. Where a condition needs a different level of care than a ten bed residential clinic can responsibly provide, we say so at assessment rather than after arrival.
Fatigue Syndrome
Fatigue syndrome, often characterized by persistent and unexplained fatigue, can severely impact daily functioning. Individuals may experience a combination of physical and mental exhaustion, often accompanied by sleep disturbances and cognitive difficulties. Addressing this syndrome requires a comprehensive approach that includes lifestyle modifications, stress management, and therapeutic support.
Anxiety
Anxiety is a common mental health condition that manifests as excessive worry, fear, or apprehension. It can interfere with daily activities and relationships, leading to physical symptoms such as rapid heartbeat and sweating. Effective treatment often involves therapy, medication, and coping strategies to help individuals manage their anxiety and improve their quality of life.
Depression
Depression is a mood disorder characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a lack of interest or pleasure in activities. It can affect emotional, physical, and social well-being. Treatment typically includes therapy, medication, and lifestyle changes to help individuals regain a sense of balance and fulfillment in their lives.
ADHD
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects focus, self-control, and executive functioning. Individuals with ADHD may struggle with impulsivity and hyperactivity, impacting their academic and social interactions. Treatment often includes behavioral therapy and strategies to enhance organizational skills.
ADD
Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) is a subtype of ADHD that primarily affects attention without the hyperactive component. Individuals with ADD may have difficulty focusing, following through on tasks, and organizing activities. Effective management typically involves a combination of behavioral strategies.
Autism
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a developmental disorder that affects communication, behavior, and social interaction. Individuals with autism may experience a range of symptoms, from mild to severe, and may require tailored support to navigate social situations. Early intervention, therapy, and educational support are critical for fostering development and independence.
Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition characterized by extreme mood swings, including episodes of mania and depression. These fluctuations can disrupt daily life and relationships, making effective treatment essential. A combination of medication, therapy, and lifestyle adjustments is often used to manage symptoms and stabilize mood.
Trauma
Trauma refers to the emotional and psychological response to distressing events. Individuals who have experienced trauma may face challenges such as flashbacks, emotional numbness, and difficulty trusting others. Therapeutic approaches, including trauma-focused therapy, can help individuals process their experiences and develop coping strategies.
PTSD
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. Symptoms may include re-experiencing the trauma, avoidance behaviors, and heightened anxiety. Treatment often involves therapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and EMDR, to help individuals heal from their experiences.
Grief
Grief is the emotional response to loss, particularly the loss of a loved one. It can manifest as profound sadness, anger, confusion, and even physical symptoms such as fatigue. The grieving process is unique to each individual and may involve various stages, including denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Therapeutic support can help individuals navigate their grief and find ways to cope with their loss.
Alcohol Addiction
Alcohol addiction, or alcoholism, is a chronic disease characterized by an inability to control drinking despite negative consequences. It can lead to physical health problems, emotional distress, and strained relationships. Treatment typically involves detoxification, counseling, and support groups to help individuals achieve and maintain sobriety.
Drug Addiction
Drug addiction is a complex condition marked by compulsive drug-seeking behavior and use despite harmful effects. It can affect various aspects of life, including health, relationships, and work. Effective treatment often combines medical intervention, therapy, and support networks to facilitate recovery and prevent relapse.
Sex Addiction
Sex addiction is characterized by compulsive sexual behavior that disrupts daily life and relationships. Individuals may engage in risky sexual activities and experience negative consequences but feel unable to stop. Treatment often involves therapy focused on understanding underlying issues, developing healthier coping mechanisms, and fostering self-control.
Substance Addiction
Substance addiction encompasses a range of dependencies on drugs, alcohol, or other substances that negatively impact an individual’s life. It can lead to physical and psychological health issues, as well as social and legal problems. Comprehensive treatment strategies, including detoxification, therapy, and ongoing support, are essential for recovery and long-term well-being.
Eating Disorders
Eating disorders include anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder and the many presentations that do not fit neatly into any of those categories. They are seldom only about food, and anxiety, depression, trauma or substance use are usually part of the picture. We treat all eating disorders where body mass index is 17 or above at admission.
Prescription Medication Dependence
Dependence on prescribed medication rarely begins with a decision to misuse anything. It begins with a prescription for pain, anxiety or sleeplessness, and a medicine that worked exactly as it was supposed to. We treat codeine and other opioid painkillers, tramadol, benzodiazepines and prescribed sleep medication, with medically supervised reduction.
