Frequently Asked Questions
Many private rehab facilities in the UK accept self-funding and private health insurance. Free addiction services are also available through the NHS and charities. It's best to contact the admissions department of your chosen facility to discuss payment options.
Inpatient (or residential) treatment requires you to live at the facility 24/7, providing an immersive, highly structured environment. Outpatient treatment (like day programmes) allows you to live at home while attending scheduled therapy sessions, offering more flexibility to maintain work or family commitments.
The UK is a leading destination for addiction treatment, offering a blend of world-class private clinics and publicly funded NHS services. With CQC-regulated facilities, clients can find high-quality care in diverse settings, from bustling cities like London to serene countryside estates, providing a safe and effective environment for recovery.
You should typically bring about a week's worth of comfortable clothing, essential toiletries (alcohol-free), your ID and insurance card, and a list of important phone numbers. Most facilities will provide a detailed packing list. Leave valuables, electronics, and non-prescribed medications at home.

When comparing alcohol and drug rehab centres in the UK, consider clinical quality, level of care, location, and practical factors like insurance coverage or out-of-pocket cost. Many facilities in London and Manchester offer a full continuum of care, while rehabs in Kent and Oxfordshire often emphasize smaller, retreat-style settings. Use this checklist when comparing rehab centres in the UK so you can match the level of care to your needs.
- Level of care: Does the programme offer medical detox, residential treatment, and/or outpatient care?
- Co-occurring care: Can they treat co-existing mental health conditions like depression, PTSD, or anxiety?
- Regulation & payment: Is the facility regulated by the CQC? Do they accept private insurance or is it self-funded?
- Specialty programmes: Look for tracks for teens, veterans, professionals, or gender-specific care if relevant.
