is it a complex needs service specifically you're being referred to? i'm not entirely sure what they do, but they will assess you and try to find suitable treatment. the one i went to had outpatient, day and residential units for people with complex needs/PD. some areas just have day and outpatient. some have a specific outreach service for the problems. some have antenatal mental health units (i think that's right?!) or services for people with learning difficulties or sight/hearing problems. some offer psychotherapy services, which are great.
there isn't actually a service like this near where i live, which is a bit rubbish. and to be honest this info is a bit of a stab in the dark and could be wrong, because when i was in complex needs, it was just in the residential unit down in birmingham for a year. but i was aware they had stuff like psychotherapy services, day services, ED services, outreach and stuff like that down there, i just was never part of them.
i'm rambling and probably totally wrong. sorry.
