About sections SL8 and SL10
SL8 is a rehabilitative unit, which primarily has patients with a sentence for inpatient admission. We focus particularly on reducing risk behaviour, stabilization and rehabilitation. Our patients stay in hospital for an average of 6 years, which gives you plenty of opportunity to form relationships and have continuity in your tasks.
SL10 primarily receives patients in surrogate custody, and some of the patients are also mentally examined during hospitalization. Hospitalization time varies from a few weeks up to a year. We focus on creating content and making a difficult time meaningful in the best possible way.
Forensic psychiatry
The Forensic Psychiatry Region Zealand consists of four (soon to be five) closed sections with a total of 62 places and the Security Department with four sections with a total of 35 places and a Forensic Psychiatric Outpatient Clinic. Patients may be hospitalized for both treatment and safety reasons.
The Department of Forensic Psychiatry receives patients who have a placement/treatment sentence, an order for mental observation during hospitalization or are placed in surrogate custody.
Our framework makes it possible to offer a meaningful and coherent treatment that creates well-being for both patient and staff.
