Landspítali University Hospital Hringbraut

The Acute Psychiatry and Addiction Diseases ward at Landspítali is a 16-bed inpatient unit designed for people facing both serious mental health conditions and substance use disorders. They offer different levels of care, including withdrawal management and stabilisation. What sets them apart is their multidisciplinary team that addresses biological, psychological, and social needs all at once. They use active recovery-focused methods tailored to each person, including motivational interviewing (MI), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), harm reduction, and personalised treatment planning. Patients benefit by gaining stability, reducing risky behaviors, and building motivation for further care. This approach helps people move toward lasting health and wellness with strong professional support .
