At The Cedars, we work with psychologists, social workers, and healthcare professionals who need additional support for patients dealing with addiction.
In many cases, outpatient care is no longer enough. When a patient needs a structured environment to stabilise, step away from triggers, and engage in focused treatment, inpatient rehabilitation becomes an important next step.
We provide that level of care, while working alongside you to support the patient’s long-term recovery.
Working Together to Support Your Patient
We understand that you already have an established relationship with your patient. Our role is to support that during a critical stage of recovery, not replace it.
Where appropriate and with consent, we can:
– Share relevant updates on progress
– Align with your therapeutic approach
– Support discharge and aftercare planning
– Assist with reintegration into outpatient care
Professional Feedback
“A reliable partner in patient care”
“I’ve referred a number of patients to The Cedars over the years, particularly in cases where outpatient therapy was no longer sufficient.
What stands out is their structured approach to treatment and their ability to stabilise patients in a contained environment. Communication has always been clear and professional, and I’ve found their team supportive when it comes to discharge planning and ongoing care.
It makes a difference knowing there is a facility I can trust when my patients need a higher level of support.”
