Abstract
Given the paucity of literature, this study investigated whether a prevention and recovery care (PARC) service supported recovery in patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD). This retrospective study included patients with BPD who had their first (index) admission to North West PARC between 2011 and 2016. Patient medical records and the state-wide database were the sources of information. Of the 67 patients included, over 70% attended group activities. All patients achieved their recovery goals, either fully or partially. Compared to admission, the frequency of substance use and the Health of the Nation Outcome Scale (HoNOS) scores at discharge were significantly less. A significantly smaller number of patients needed inpatient treatment during the 12 months following their PARC admission. The PARC service appears to promote clinical and psychosocial recovery in patients with BPD.
