Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know which recovery option will suit me?
Therapy is ideal for those seeking deep emotional support and psychological tools to help with overall well-being.

Online rehab provides structured support with added flexibility, while residential rehab offers 24/7 care for those with severe addictions.

Can I do both therapy and online rehab?
Yes! Many clients combine individual therapy with the CATCH Recovery programme for a well-rounded approach.
-
How do I know if I need residential rehab?

-
How much does NHS rehab cost?
NHS rehab is free of charge to most UK residents, however this can depend on the type and intensity of treatment, and is often subject to long waiting lists. If you need rehab more immediately and don’t want to wait, private rehab might be a better option for you.
-
Can I put myself into rehab?
Yes, you don’t need a GP referral to begin the rehab process. You can approach a rehab clinic yourself, with numerous rehab facilities accepting self-referrals. If you feel stuck, speaking to your GP may be a good place to start to discuss your options. However, with private rehab, you can minimise the waiting time, and get help faster.
-
How much does private rehab cost in the UK?
Private rehab costs vary depending on the type of programme, the length and intensity of treatment, if medically assisted detox/medically managed detox is necessary, if you seek online vs in person treatment, etc. Flexible treatment options that you can fit around your daily schedule start at approximately £1,000+ per week. Online rehab programmes start at approximately £2,750+ per month. Comprehensive residential rehab programmes can cost approximately £8,000+ per month.

Do they give medication in rehab?
Yes, some residential rehabs offer medically assisted detox, or can offer psychiatric services to prescribe medications to help treat mental health disorders alongside addiction treatment, which can be beneficial to those with dual diagnosis.

Does BUPA cover rehab?

They offer a comprehensive mental health insurance coverage policy which covers a variety of illnesses which does include addiction to alcohol and drugs. This means that they can fund alcohol and drug rehab depending on your policy.
-
How to get someone into rehab urgently?

Referral for Inpatient Rehab – Access to 24/7 Care
For some individuals battling addictions, a more intensive residential rehab programme may be necessary. There are instances where medical detoxification is essential, or where extended rehabilitation programmes may better address the specific needs of the individual. It can be hard to commit to making a decision – particularly when you’re uncertain about what would be most beneficial for you or your loved one. In order to find out what treatment would work best for you, we have a dedicated comprehensive screening available to help you identify the best course of treatment. From there, we can provide a referral to our trusted network of residential rehab centres.
Who Might Need Residential Rehab?
- People struggling with intense alcohol or drug addiction who face considerable health risks during the withdrawal and detox phase.
- Those in need of medical assistance or more intensive mental health and therapeutic support during treatment, who may benefit from having nurses and medical professionals available 24/7.
- People who have attempted outpatient therapy but require a more specialised residential setting where extensive care can be provided.
How We Can Help:
- Comprehensive assessment process to evaluate if inpatient residential rehab for extended rehab programmes are the appropriate next step.
- Aftercare post-rehab is designed to provide you or your loved one with the necessary support to maintain progress and continue the journey of addiction recovery following the completion of residential rehab.
- Referral to one of our world-leading UK addiction treatment centres that specialise in treating alcohol and drug addiction as well as behavioural addictions and dual diagnoses to help facilitate long term recovery.
- Pre-rehab individual or 1:1 therapy designed to facilitate a smoother transition into residential care while bolstering mental health support.
