Why Private Rehab?
Choosing the right hospital is integral to making sure you get the right support. The main disadvantage of NHS rehab is that waiting lists are often long and funds are stretched, so treatment may not be as high quality as some private rehabs.

Alcohol Rehab
Often when your body has become dependent on a substance, you will experience symptoms of withdrawal when attempting to give it up.
This makes it much more difficult to resist your addiction and is one of the reasons it is so important to have a professional team of medical experts to support you with the appropriate detox and treatment.
Drug Rehab
Long-term substance misuse can have debilitating effects on your mental health, making it even more important that you get help as soon as you can.

Behavioural Addiction Rehab
Behavioural addictions that encompass seemingly “non-addictive” activities such as eating or browsing the internet can have an equally debilitating effect on your life.

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.
