Mental Health and Addiction Services
Mental Health and Addiction Services provide community-focused
care, underpinned by recovery and harm reduction models. The
services are supported by a 24-hour seven-day a week acute/crisis
service and acute admission inpatient services. The Tauranga acute
inpatient unit, Te Whare Maiangiangi, provides 24 beds and the
Whakatāne acute/crisis inpatient unit, Te Toki Maurere, has 10
beds.
In terms of community services, the main ones provided
in both areas are:
- Community alcohol and drug
- Mental health services for older people
- Child and adolescent mental health
- Community mental health
Within some of these services are sub-specialty services such as
eating disorders, maternal mental health, early intervention,
consultation and liaison.
Consumer and family /whanau advisors are available to provide
service-user and family perspectives, and to offer advice to staff
on consumer and family issues. Te Pou Korkiri cultural advisors are
available to provide cultural support to Māori accessing services.
The services work closely with community services, including
supported accommodation providers, iwi-based groups, family and
consumer groups.
