Why Private Rehab?
Although there are options available on the NHS, many people prefer private rehab because:
- Fast admission: you can often begin your process as soon as you like
- Multiple treatment methods taking place on one site
- People often need to step away from their daily lives and associated stresses
- High standard of accommodation
- Often higher success rates
Why Castle Craig?
- Personalised approach: Each of our patients matters to us and we personalise each treatment method so individuals can gain as much from recovery as possible and go on to have a healthy, addiction-free life.
- On-site detox unit: We have a dedicated on-site detox facility staffed by our clinical team of doctors and nurses. Patients will receive round-the-clock care during this phase of treatment and our medical staff are committed to making your detox as safe and comfortable as possible.
- Beautiful grounds: Positioned six miles away from the nearest shop, our large castle is positioned on 50 acres of picturesque woodland and countryside. Our private residential rehab is unlike any other in the UK, offering a hotel-like service, we allow family guests to stay in their rooms on the grounds when visiting.

How Can Castle Craig Help?
Who will I speak to when I call Castle Craig?
When you call you will reach our Help Centre team who will give you all the information you need to help you decide whether to choose treatment at Castle Craig. If you decide that you would like to have a free screening assessment you will be asked a series of questions to build up a picture of your medical and drug use history as well as any mental health issues you are facing. If you decide you want to proceed with treatment you will be put in touch with our admissions case managers who will guide you through the admissions process.
How long is the rehab programme?
Residential rehab treatment starts at 4 weeks and can go up to 12+ weeks. Research shows us that the longer you stay in rehab and are part of the residential therapy programme, the longer the likelihood of continued abstinence and stable recovery.
How do I pay for rehab?
One concern we sometimes hear from people is how they will fund their rehab treatment. You can pay for treatment at Castle Craig privately, or through medical insurance, and some people receive funding through the NHS. The cost of rehab varies depending on what kind of accommodation you choose.
What happens at the end of my treatment?
Castle Craig thoroughly prepares patients before departure by creating a personalised continuing care plan which is formulated following discussions with the medical and therapeutic team. We offer an online aftercare programme which runs for 24 weeks after leaving treatment, in order to ensure a smooth transition back into your everyday life. Patients leaving treatment automatically join our Recovery Club where they can stay connected via our annual reunion, events, online workshops and recovery newsletters.
