Hurst aims to use a psychosocial, relational and recovery model of care.
The psychosocial treatment programme includes ‘RAID (Reinforce Appropriate, Implode Disruptive)’, CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy), DBT (dialectic behaviour therapy) and other evidenced-based approaches.

Discharge is considered at admission and our clinical and social work teams work with appropriate case managers to support a transition.
