Adarna Ward is our 15 bed rehabilitation service at Cygnet Hospital Wyke, for men with mental illness and a secondary diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), we also take individuals who haven’t been formally diagnosed with ASD, but who have a high clinical suspicion. Most service users we support, also present with behaviours that challenge.

The focus of the service is on recovery through meaningful engagement both within the service and in the local community. Our aim is to support individuals to live with their condition and to discharge them onto the least restrictive setting suitable for them.

Each individual is different and the next stage of their recovery journey could be moving into the community, or into the family home, or they may require a step-down rehabilitation service, like our new service Cygnet Adarna House in Bradford.
