An alcohol & drug rehab clinic

Castle Craig is a prime contractor to the NHS.  This means that if you don’t have private medical insurance or can’t pay privately then you can apply for funding through the NHS.

We have been treating patients with NHS funding for over two decades.  We realise that everyone’s situation is different and due to this we create bespoke treatment plans for each patient, regardless of whether you are a private or NHS patient.

Who Can Apply for Rehab Funding with the NHS?

Anyone who does not have the funds to pay privately or private insurance.  You may have to show that you have explored local community-based treatment options before the NHS will fund your treatment at a residential rehabilitation clinic.

We advise prospective patients to attend Alcoholics Anonymous (AA)/Narcotics Anonymous (NA) meetings and keeping all appointments with the referral team during this application process as this will show motivation and commitment. 

Accessing residential rehab this way may take a number of weeks, depending on the willingness of your local addiction team to fund your treatment.

How To Apply For Funding with the NHS

If you are from England/Wales, Northern Ireland or abroad the admissions process will be slightly different. 

Actions for admission through NHS Scotland:

• Begin attending local AA/NA meetings;
• Contact our Admissions Manager for the contact details and procedures of your local Community Addiction Team or Alcohol Problem Service.  Each health board has their own procedure;
• Contact your local Community Addiction Team and arrange a meeting to discuss your treatment options.
• You will have the chance to discuss your preference for residential treatment at Castle Craig. Follow their advice and procedures;
• Our Admissions Team will offer you advice and support during this process.
