In instances where a service user has had a long and intensive intervention, a multidisciplinary discussion should take place to determine the most appropriate way to discharge that individual. The discharge process should be tailored to meet the needs of the service user. This may include a staged discharge to test the service user’s readiness to be discharged. Consideration should also be given to whether discharge arrangements should be shared with other agencies, such as the police or the probation service.
