New mental health and addictions facility treats nearly 2,500 patients with comprehensive tracking system,

Andorra's Ròdol mental health and addictions centre recorded 7,500 visits and treated nearly 2,500 patients during its first three months in new facilities.

Service head Joan Soler gave a positive assessment in an interview with the Andorran News Agency, noting the team is "very pleased" after almost three months. A key development has been the rollout of a comprehensive registration system to capture the full scope of activities. This includes not just in-person sessions but also follow-up calls and time spent on clinical reports. "Preparing a report takes 15 or 20 minutes—that counts as patient care," Soler said, adding that accurate tracking enables reliable analysis. Consolidated data for detailed comparisons are expected by mid-2026.

The approach aligns with Health Minister Helena Mas's comprehensive mental health and addictions plan (PISMA), emphasising a multidisciplinary model. Nurses, psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and social educators collaborate based on individual needs. Soler stressed that mental health extends beyond biology and medication to factors like society, environment, school, and peers. "Team intelligence serves patients better than any single professional's judgment," he remarked.

Activity levels have remained stable, though a full breakdown by consultation type is still forthcoming as the system settles. "We've tallied the visits; next we'll classify them," Soler explained. Among adults, alcohol is the leading addiction issue, while depressive disorders and anxiety dominate mental health cases. For children and adolescents, autism diagnoses and behavioural problems—often tied to screen use—are prominent.

Soler described the period as a "major positive change," highlighting better tracking across all staff compared to previous unmonitored efforts. While improvements are always possible, he sees Ròdol as a significant step forward in Andorra's mental health services.
