Woodbury Unit Mental Health Treatment Services
The ward works with adults across a mix of needs, including dementia, substance misuse and learning disabilities alongside general mental health conditions, with detention under the Mental Health Act a feature of some admissions.
As with NELFT’s other wards covering a broad range of conditions, the exact care a patient receives depends on their specific diagnosis, so it’s worth asking the trust directly how a particular referral would be managed.

Is Treatment at Woodbury Unit Free?
