Alcohol Rehab
We understand everyone’s experience with alcoholism is unique. Your programme will be tailored specifically to fit your needs, including detoxification measures, length of treatment, what therapy you will attend, fitness programmes, and your type of accommodation.
“We are fully medically managed – Medical Director, Consultant Psychiatrists and a team of doctors and nurses.”
Drug Rehab
Different drug dependencies require different treatment methods.
If you have been using a harmful substance for a while, it is likely your body will have become dependent on it and you will need to go through a detoxification period.
Though many people fear this stage, with the right medical care it can be managed to be as comfortable as possible. It is best to go through detoxification in private rehab so that you can receive personal medical care if required.
Behavioural Addictions
Sometimes patients experience addictive behaviour that has a debilitating effect on their life from addictions that are considered ‘less severe.’ This can include, shopping, gambling, eating and relationships.
We understand that these vices can have a debilitating impact regardless of perceived stigmas. We offer treatment for gambling addiction gaming addiction and many other issues. These issues are addressed through therapy that can help you understand some of the underlying feelings that may be triggering unhealthy habits that are hard to kick.
Put Your Recovery in Safe Hands
Castle Craig is a family-run hospital and we are here to support patients through treatment and aftercare.
Our location is an additional benefit for patients, as they often find the peace and serenity in nature that provides the headspace needed to heal.
