About our service
Clairvale Rehabilitation and Recovery Unit provides a residential rehabilitation service for people with complex mental health needs. We support service users to:
- achieve their recovery goals
- improve their mental health and wellbeing
- transition back home or into the community wherever possible
Our aims
Our key aims are to:
- reduce or end negative behaviours
- manage risk
- work towards discharge from the point of assessment where appropriate
We promote recovery and improve everyday functioning by:
- reducing social isolation
- engagement in meaningful and purposeful occupations and routines
- developing skills in daily living activities
- promoting independent or successful community living
- vocational rehabilitation
- participation in education
- preventing readmission to hospital
- decreasing the rate of relapse
- improving medication adherence, reducing or stopping medication, and promoting self-medication
- ensuring a successful discharge from the rehabilitation unit to the community
What we do
We are part of an acute inpatient pathway team that support people to practice and learn skills for living a fulfilling and independent life.
We use a diverse range of therapies including, but not limited to:
- psycho-education
- cognitive and dialectical behavioural therapies (CBT and DBT)
- art therapy
- daily living skills programmes
Our team works closely with individuals to help them understand and manage their own condition more effectively. We develop and practice the skills that are important to them, and prepare them to move back into the community.
Examples of the support we provide includes:
- practice with activities of daily living: self-care, cooking, laundry, cleaning, and shopping
- participating in the community, joining groups and activities
- developing a balanced and meaningful routine
- building confidence going out in the community and using public transport
- staying active and improving physical health
- guidance on healthy living (such as diet, exercise and stopping smoking)
- help to reduce or stop alcohol and street drug use
- help with budgeting
- help to get back into work
- help with accommodation and social security benefits
As residents recover, we encourage them to spend more time getting out and about and taking part in useful and interesting activities. This could involve:
- taking part in sport
- going to the cinema
- enrolling on a course
- learning new skills to help get a job
