About Brooker Centre – Runcorn
The Brooker Centre in Runcorn, based at Halton Hospital and run by Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust, is an inpatient mental health and substance misuse unit for adults, including those with dementia or detained under the Mental Health Act.
As with the trust’s other legacy sites in this area, the published rating for the Brooker Centre is outdated, dating from March 2014 under a previous provider rather than reflecting an inspection of Mersey Care itself.

Brooker Centre Drug and Alcohol Treatment Services
The unit combines mental health and substance misuse care for adults, alongside dementia support and the capacity to admit patients under the Mental Health Act.
Given the age of the rating on record, it’s worth asking Mersey Care directly what the current day-to-day care at the Brooker Centre actually looks like, rather than relying on an inspection carried out more than a decade ago under a different provider.

How Much Does Treatment at Brooker Centre Cost?
Care at the Brooker Centre, including for patients detained under the Mental Health Act, is funded by the NHS rather than charged to patients or families.
A privately funded alternative offering similar mental health and substance misuse care in the North West would typically cost around £10,000 to £30,000 a month, though this isn’t the usual route into an NHS unit of this kind.
