Types of Rehab Treatment

Alcohol Addiction Rehab

Usually begins with a medically supervised detox to manage withdrawal safely — alcohol withdrawal can be dangerous, so detox should never happen alone. Therapy and counselling then work through the reasons behind the addiction.

Drug Addiction Rehab

Treatment varies with the substance involved, so the right programme for one person may look very different for another. Our advisers match you with a clinic experienced in the drug or mix of drugs affecting you.

Behavioural Addiction Rehab

Rehab is also available for behavioural addictions such as gambling, or sex and love addiction. Behavioural rehab focuses on therapy, though a detox may be needed if a substance addiction co-exists.

Rehab Settings

Inpatient Rehab

Also called residential rehab — you live at the treatment centre for the length of your programme, usually 28 days. Living at the clinic takes you away from everyday triggers so you can focus fully on recovery.

Outpatient Rehab

Attend treatment sessions during the day and return home in the evening. Outpatient suits people with a less severe addiction who have strong support at home.

Private Rehab

Private rehab offers immediate admission and a wider choice of clinics, with programmes built around your situation. Every clinic in our partner network is CQC registered.

How Much Does Alcohol and Drug Rehab Cost?

The cost of drug and alcohol rehab depends on the type of programme, length of stay and clinic. As a general guide, residential rehab in the UK costs between £2,000 and £10,000 per week. If cost is a barrier, our advisers will work with you to find the most suitable option within your budget.

Free rehab is available in the UK, but places are limited and waiting times can be long. It's funded through local authority drug and alcohol services, which you can apply to through your GP. Read our free rehab guide →

NHS drug and alcohol services provide support in the community. In some cases, they can fund a place in a private or charity-run residential programme, though this depends on local funding — residential rehab centres are run privately or by charities, not by the NHS itself. See NHS rehab options →

Some private health insurance policies cover addiction treatment. If you have health insurance, check your policy or speak to your provider before enquiring, as cover varies widely. Check your cover →

Many people fund private rehab themselves through savings or loans, or with help from family. Our advisers can talk through the options and help you find the most affordable clinic that still gives you the level of care you need. Compare private rehab clinics →

What to Expect in Rehab

Many people come to rehab anxious about what it will be like. The reality is usually very different from what they expect. Most residential rehab programmes begin with an assessment of your medical needs and personal circumstances.

Where a detox is needed, a doctor manages the process, and medication keeps you comfortable and safe. The rehabilitation phase that follows usually includes one-to-one therapy and group sessions, alongside structured activities. Common approaches include cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), 12-step work and motivational interviewing.

A team of doctors, therapists and counsellors supports you throughout your stay. The focus is on building the understanding and the tools to move forward.

Frequently Asked Questions

Free rehab does exist in the UK, but places are limited. Access is through your local drug and alcohol services, usually via a GP referral. If you need immediate admission, private rehab is the most reliable route.

The quickest way is to call a specialist adviser, such as the Rehab Guide team, who can assess your needs and arrange admission to a suitable clinic. You can also self-refer to local drug and alcohol services, or speak to your GP.

Rehab usually begins with a medical assessment, followed by a detox if needed, and then a programme of therapy. Most clinics assign a key worker who oversees your care. Aftercare usually includes check-ins, group sessions and relapse prevention support.

A typical day includes individual therapy and group sessions, alongside structured activities. The environment is substance-free and supervised, focused on understanding what drove the addiction and building tools for recovery.

Most residential alcohol rehab programmes run for 28 days, covering detox and therapy. Some people choose shorter or longer stays, depending on their needs and circumstances.

That depends on your provider and policy. Check directly with your insurer before making an enquiry, as policies vary and conditions or limits may apply.
