Services

The Inpatient Unit for Psychotic Disorders is a 16-bed ward that provides assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation for individuals with psychotic disorders. The unit has 10 beds designated for acute cases and 6 beds for rehabilitation.

A strong emphasis is placed on multidisciplinary teamwork, where biological, psychological, and social factors are assessed to better understand and manage both acute and long-term conditions.

Treatment Approach

  • It is tailored to the needs and abilities of each individual and is based on a recovery-oriented approach.

  • The goal is to improve quality of life, empower patients, reduce disabling psychotic symptoms, and strengthen coping skills for living with a psychotic disorder.

  • Collaboration with close relatives is sought in agreement with the patient, and they are offered support throughout the course of treatment.
