Alcohol Rehab

Rehab Clinics Group matches people across the UK with private alcohol rehab clinics suited to their needs, wherever they’re based. Every referral starts with a confidential assessment, so your treatment plan reflects the severity of your addiction rather than a one-size-fits-all programme.

Alcohol addiction, or alcohol use disorder, affects physical health, mental health and relationships. Left untreated, it can lead to serious liver damage and other life-threatening complications. Medical professionals recognise alcoholism as a disease, and, like most diseases, early, professional treatment gives the best chance of long-term recovery.

Detoxing without support is possible for a small minority, but relapse rates are significantly higher outside a structured, medically supervised programme.

What Is Alcohol Rehab?

Alcohol rehab is a structured treatment programme that combines medical detox with therapy to help someone stop drinking and stay sober. At Rehab Clinics Group, we have residential (inpatient) centres across the UK, so you don’t have to compromise on quality of care because of location. Many people benefit from recovering away from the environment that reinforced their drinking.

Alcohol Rehab in the UK and Your Treatment Journey

We will prepare a bespoke rehabilitation plan to suit your needs. When arriving at one of our rehab centres you will undergo a pre-admission assessment which involves a full physical and psychological examination. It is during the examination that you will be required to detail the nature and severity of your addiction to alcohol.  If you are also using any other substances, then this will need to be known to the assessor to make sure you receive the best possible plan.

When our team has a clearer idea on the severity of your addiction they will be able to prescribe you with a specialised treatment plan that best suits your current needs. By carrying out an examination before your treatment starts and coming up with a plan is ideal for knowing what dose of prescription drugs you will need to aid you in the detox process and when the best time would be to start those doses.

• Assessment: Every placement begins with a confidential pre-admission assessment which is a full physical and psychological review carried out by a psychologist or substance misuse specialist. This covers the severity of your alcohol use, any other substance use, and your wider health history, so the clinical team can prescribe the right detox medication and dosage.
• Admission: Once your assessment is complete, you’re matched with a centre and treatment plan suited to your needs and can start preparing for admission into rehab. Most residential stays run for around 28 days, though this varies by individual.
• Medically managed detox: This removes alcohol from your system under 24 hour clinical supervision. Withdrawal symptoms can range from mild to severe, and medication may be prescribed to ease symptoms and reduce the risk of complications such as delirium tremens.
• Therapeutic approaches: Following detox, treatment moves into individual and group therapy which typically one-to-one sessions with a psychiatrist or psychologist, alongside group sessions. Therapy addresses the underlying causes of addiction, not just the symptoms, and helps build the coping strategies needed for lasting recovery.
• Aftercare: Rehab Clinics Group centres offer structured aftercare programmes inclusive of relapse prevention, because the period immediately after treatment is when relapse risk is highest. Aftercare and continued support, including groups like Alcoholics Anonymous, are a key part of staying sober long-term.

Our Alcohol Rehab Centres in the UK

Rehab Clinics Group refers people to a small network of named CQC registered residential centres, each with its own setting, character and specialism plus a dedicated referral and guidance service for Scotland.

Choosing Where to Recover

You will need to figure out where you’re going to go to recover, and there’s no right or wrong answer. It all depends on what’ll help you most right now.

Staying local may be beneficial to some. On the other hand, heading to somewhere further afield can be a really good way to break free from all the triggers and routines that have been holding you back. Lots of our people find that getting away from it all helps them focus on getting better.

We take all this into account when we talk it through with you at the assessment stage, and make sure you’re matched with a centre that’s just right for your recovery and your situation.

Cassiobury Court

Set within Cassiobury Park, one of Hertfordshire’s largest areas of parkland, Cassiobury Court is a CQC-regulated rehab that treats alcohol addiction alongside drug and behavioural addictions and dual diagnosis.
