  4. Anxiety Disorders Residential Unit (ADRU)

    We aim to offer high quality CBT , working towards reducing symptoms of anxiety disorder s , ultimately improving functioning and quality of life. This would lead to a reduced need for local service provision.  
     
    The advantages of admission to a residential setting are the ability to deliver CBT in a more intensive format. Staff may assist in frequent exposure or behavioural experiments in a supportive environment , with more opportunities for modelling and positive reinforcement by others in the moment. There is increased flexibility in delivery of the therapy that can keep the momentum going. Sometimes there are advantages to removing a person from their home context.  
     
    We integrate occupational therapy into the therapy . We also encourage residents to assist in our GUTS caf e to confront their anxiet ies and to help prepare them for life after discharge . Living in a residential unit increases responsibility that may not occur on an inpatient unit with nursing staff as well as the support and reinforcement from other residents. Lastly the unit can monitor any medication changes or adherence.  
     
    For patients with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and b od y dysmorphic disorder (BDD), we operate at the highest level of stepped care in the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines. We do this by providing intensive CBT for the treatment of severe OCD and BDD.  
     
    For patients with other anxiety disorders (post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), social phobia, agoraphobia/panic, specific phobias, generalised anxiety disorder) the service also operates at the highest level of stepped care in the respective NICE guidelines. We do this by providing intensive CBT and optimisation of medication for the relevant anxiety disorder. The service is for those who have severe symptoms and who have failed treatment locally .  

    Philosophy of Care at the Anxiety Disorders Residential Unit (ADRU)  

    Our programme is tailored to our residents’ individual needs. We do not ask anything we would not expect of ourselves. All of our staff are honest, respectful and open throughout the programme. We focus on the development of alternative ways of thinking, behaving  and learning about problems. We provide a safe, caring, supportive and compassionate environment to support long-term change by:

    • Prioritising the client’s recovery and wellbeing 
    • Delivering personalised, evidence-based care 
    • Believing in the client's potential to overcome their difficulties, no matter how complex, or their previous experiences of therapy
    • Promoting a supportive environment where people can learn, support and encourage each other
    • Working collaboratively to enable people to overcome their difficulties, identify and achieve their goals 

    King’s Health Partners  

    Our service is part of the Psychological Medicine and Older Adult Academic Group . SLAM has joined with King’s College London, Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust and King’s College NHS Foundation Trust to establish King’s Health Partners, an Academic Health Sciences Centre . King’s Health Partners involves bringing clinical care, research and education much more closely together .

  5. Assertive Outreach Rehabilitation Team (AORT)

    The Assertive Outreach Rehabilitation Team (AORT) offers a model that utilises a whole systems approach to rehabilitation from mental illness. The tripartite model consists of two rehabilitation branches and an assertive outreach branch, utilising a shared care approach across the team with the aims of recovery and move-on at the forefront. The Assertive Outreach (AO) branch aims to provide a more enhanced service for people diagnosed with serious mental illness and to deliver evidence-based interventions and care whilst increasing service user and carer satisfaction. AO adopts an assertive and proactive way of working, utilising a whole-team approach to provide continuity of care and encourage creativity in engagement and positive risk taking. The AO multidisciplinary team provides most interventions from within the team and delivers care wherever is required and most appropriate. The rehabilitation branches aim to provide an enhanced service for service users with diagnosed serious mental health conditions that require supported or residential accommodation, embodying evidence based practice to promote rehabilitation, social inclusion and increased independence. The rehabilitation branches aim to use the FACT approach to team work, operating shared care across a proportion of the team caseload. The whole team approach embodies independence and recovery from treatment resistant mental ill health.
