Care Pathway

For patients who are still struggling with substance use and wish to quit; or are in low motivation and need full support away from home, we offer inpatient care.

On the other hand, we also offer Outpatient treatment which is appropriate for those whose condition is sufficiently stable, whose symptoms are mild, and are willing to participate in the treatment plan. Our care focuses on 3 key areas. Kindly refer to the resources section for:

Addiction Treatment services

We offer a range of programs of different durations and types, all aimed at treating all forms of drug addiction (which includes alcoholism). Our target for you is lifelong recovery from your substance abuse problem. The first thing to say about our treatment is that you will feel safe and comfortable, very well supported by the staff and your peers, and we will keep you busy!

Home Treatment Services

We also offer an alternative service to the inpatient and outpatient care, a service that accepts that mental health difficulties cannot be isolated from an individual’s social system. The key features of this pathway are that, it will be mobile, provide a rapid response and act as a gatekeeper to either inpatient services or the other care pathway provided in the centre.

The aim of the service is to provide an immediate assessment and treatment 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to individuals experiencing mental health crisis including substance misuse. As far as possible this service would be provided in the persons’ own environment with minimal disruption to their normal routine. The team will support individuals who have severe and enduring mental health disorders who need active treatment and care for the necessary time scale to meet recovery.

Safe Place

At TOPS we have psychologically equipped rooms for patients who are unsafe or who find themselves vulnerable in a high-risk situation or period. These individuals can come into the facility at any time they feel unsafe. During this period, they have access to a psychologist who helps them through this period and they can leave immediately the feeling of ‘am safe’ sets in.

Crisis response

TOP provides a 24-hours accessible point of refuge for people who find themselves vulnerable in High-risk situation. We have established protocol for responding to clients experiencing a mental health crisis which assures the availability of appropriately trained and qualified staff to address the crisis. We also have the capacity to manage psychiatric crisis, crisis intervention, crisis stabilization, or other specialty mental health services necessary to address the client's urgent or emergency psychiatric condition.
