Drug and Alcohol Rehab Cambridge
According to Public Health England, a massive 79% of people in Cambridgeshire who currently need treatment for drug or alcohol abuse have these needs unmet.
Here we will provide you with more information about how drug and alcohol rehabilitation works and how to get treatment.
It is possible to stop taking substances without support, but your chances of successfully ending your addiction are much higher with professional help. It is also far safer for your health, as giving up drugs and alcohol quickly can present a serious medical risk.
Local Addiction Support in Cambridgeshire
Most people are referred to a local rehab clinic by a GP in Cambridge. These services are often free and provided by NHS local services on an outpatient basis.
Others choose to research local centres themselves by Googling “drug and alcohol rehab near me”. Some employers are also willing to help by using their private medical health insurance policies to fund private treatment.
Outpatient Treatment
Most free services available through the NHS are administered as an outpatient. This means you will visit a centre for drug substitution and therapy, but recovery will largely be attempted at home with the help of friends, family and other community resources.
If you have tried this approach and keep relapsing or have failed to keep up with the programme, the next more intensive option is a prolonged stay in a dedicated rehab centre.
Residential Rehab
In our residential rehab you will live here for a period of weeks. Here, you will not have access to drugs or alcohol and be fully monitored through a detoxification period. After this, you will complete a range of therapies that reduce relapse rates and help you clear your mind after what could potentially be years of substance abuse.
Our Cambridge rehabilitation centre is here to support you around the clock every day of the year. Our team of committed rehab professionals can help you start a new life free from addiction.
To find out more about how our drug rehab centre team can support you, call our Cambridge clinic in total confidence or leave your details in our contact form.
Inside Our Rehab
When you stay in our CQC rehab centre, you will benefit from 24/7 support from Doctors, Mental Health Specialists, Counselors, Support Workers, and even an on-site chef.
Drugs Addictions We Treat
We treat all kinds of drug addictions in our rehab centre and have a very experienced team to deal with the destabilising nature addiction can have on both your physical and mental health. Our rehab treats all common addictions such as Alcohol and cocaine addiction in addition to Heroin, Cannabis, Crytal Meth and Prescription drug addictions.
Alcohol Addiction Treatment
A large proportion of our visitors are suffering from Alcohol dependency. Our team understand the challenges you face and the difficulties going through withdrawal from such an addictive substance.
Many people who regularly join our group sessions are recovering alcoholics, and you will hear stories and also learn from your peers how they have effectively managed to overcome alcohol addiction.
The most significant benefit of completing your alcohol rehabilitation in our centre is due to the detox period. Alcohol can have a very challenging detox period with nasty side effects such as sickness, delirium, and tremors and often leave people psychologically in an awful state.
We will be here to support you with counselling and medication during this period. You will also be under complete observation as we help guide you.
Cocaine Addiction Treatment
Cocaine is highly addictive, and many of our patients do need rehab treatment as the chances of relapse are incredibly high, especially if you are surrounded by cocaine through your network of friends in the community.
Cocaine addiction brings a strong psychological response, and it can be beaten with the help of our onsite mental health specialists. We tailor rehab programmes based on each individual as each person has their own story. What might be beneficial for others might not be best for you.
In treating cocaine addiction, your detox period will also be accompanied by intensive therapy from trained psychologists with a proven record of helping people overcome cocaine addiction. As a QCC-registered facility, we provide the best care for people looking to overcome addiction to such drugs as cocaine.

I stayed at Cassiobury Court for 28 days in December 2021 to January 2022 and I’m now 110 days clean and sober. The level of care and support you receive here from all the staff is outstanding. From admissions, to leaving through to aftercare I cannot thank everybody enough. They tirelessly go above and beyond to help every individual to get them back on track with detox, step work, one-to-one therapy, group therapy, acupuncture, fitness and good food. Each patient is different and the staff keep a very close eye on each individuals personal circumstances and try to guide them to the best of their abilities. Truely inspirational as have all been through the hell of addiction themselves so there is zero judgement. If you want it bad enough this is the safest environment to be in. I actually miss them all!!! -
I’ve very recently attended the Cassiobury Court rehab facility and highly recommend the services provided. Set in a quiet location with enclosed courtyard the bedrooms, tutorial rooms and dining rooms are well maintained, impeccably clean and mostly modern internally
The biggest plus is the wealth of experience and quality of counsellors, tutors and many of the supporting staff who themselves are recovering alcoholics/ addicts.
Conducted in a structured but relaxed atmosphere the breadth and depth of tuition and counselling is such that it stimulates the open, positive participation of Clients whilst always being supportive of both the group and the individual.
This is greatly enhanced with the attendance of local ‘live’ external CA meetings, zoom meetings and visiting ‘shares’ from recovering addicts.
With superb catering and even a washing and cleaning service included
It’s an experience that bettered my expectations and was great fun also. -
I have recently completed a 28 day stay at Cassiobury Court (CC) Rehabilitation Facility.I walked up to the gates of CC in total despair. I was a broken man. A man with no purpose in life. I had been drinking for 31 years. I had lost everything – family, friends, job, houses, cars and I hated myself with a passion! I couldn’t even look at myself in the mirror. All because of the dreaded disease called ALCOHOL! I wasn’t living, just merely existing!
I came to realise that I was unable to beat my addiction on my own. I had no choice but to surrender and ask for help. I hadn’t asked anyone for help in all my life – my ego and pride when drinking was just too big!
I needed help from CC and the staff certainly delivered on all levels. My stay at CC was very enlightening – a phenomenal experience! The best decision I have ever made in my life! A very humbling experience.
The staff at CC are all very loving, caring and willing to help their clients to succeed. It’s like they do what they do because they genuinely want to support you and save your life from addiction. They all treat you with the utmost respect and all are willing to meet your specific needs. Nothing is too much trouble for them. I cannot praise the staff at CC enough for all the love, care support and help they give to every client; Management, Therapists, Key Workers, Kitchen Staff, Housekeeping and Maintenance.
The staff all treat you as an equal and I now regard them all as family – “My CC family!”.The group sessions are taken by Therapists and Key Workers who all conduct themselves in a very professional manner. The daily schedule is very structured. The staff who run these sessions all have great expertise and experience to help you on your journey to recovery. I have certainly left CC with the tools I need to sustain many happy and sober years ahead of me. I am eternally grateful to them for giving me this opportunity!
The setting of CC is one of tranquility. It is in very peaceful surroundings. The is a lovely courtyard/gardens available for clients and staff to use at their leisure. The rooms and communal areas are all well maintained. The food is outstanding and fully trained staff are available for all you medical, dietry and general requirements.
My overall experience of CC is sensational! I highly recommend that if you are suffering from addiction and want the best opportunity to rebuild your life and future, then your journey to recovery should start at CC.
My love and best wishes to all at CC.

I entered through the gates of Cassiobury court a very frightened and ill women. This was my first time in treatment and from the start I was made to feel welcome and loved by all the staff.
Once going through my detox , I finally started joining the group workshops and meeting my peers.
This place is amazing , every day you have a routine starting with breakfast and then onto group lessons and ex clients coming in to share their journey with you , which is the best thing ever as they have walked the same steps as you and you can really relate to them and see the hope that their is life after addiction .
You are encouraged to work hard but also have some freedom to rest if needed.
I found my mind opening to finally understand the illness I have been suffering from and to see its not only ME on my own , there are other people like me out there.
Nearly every staff member is in recovery , which is so important as they understand what you are going through and teach you the tools to be able to maintain this once you leave rehab .
You also have the opportunity to go to AA and CA meetings in Watford which is great as you go as a group and then gives you the confidence to continue once you leave .
My keyworker was Rebecca and can not thank her enough , she really is AMAZING and has helped me so much . She is very honest and open and shares her journey with you which gives you the encouragement to feel safe and be able to open up and share yours with her xx
Every member of staff in this place is full of so much knowledge and kindness . You always have someone to talk to if you need a chat or any help .
The food is also fantastic ,Alan and Paula do an amazing job .
There is menu every day and if you don’t like what is on offer you can always ask them to make you something else.
Sam and her team do a brilliant job of keeping your rooms clean /maintenance of the building . And again if there is anything you are not happy with or need you can always go to Sam and she will do her best to help you
I have been very lucky to have meet some fantastic and supportive peers at my time in CC.
Rebecca , Ayo , Martin , Gerard , Seth , Jane , Alison , Shipra , Laura , Sam , Raffa , Patricia and every member of staff I thank you from the bottom of my heart

I can’t rate Cassiobury Court residential clinic more highly!My 14 day stay (after two previous stays at different clinics) was amazing – constructive, enlightening and enjoyable.
My positive experience flowed through right from the very start of the process with my telephone conversations with the admissions team, and once we’d had an initial chat and an assessment, they arranged for a driver to pick me up at 10 o’clock the next morning to drive me the 140 miles from West Dorset to the clinic.
The staff were incredibly welcoming, caring and non-judgmental. I was able to start my detox only an hour or so after my arrival after having a Zoom call with the Doctor. From then on the medical team were always on hand if and when necessary.
A high ratio of the staff are in recovery themselves which means that they knew personally what I was going through, which was both comforting and motivating.
My room was clean, light and bright and I had everything that I needed.
The food was of a very high standard and the chef was flexible and willing to go that extra mile for any special requests.
The group sessions were varied, interesting and run by highly knowledgeable staff. These were backed up by excellent 1-1 sessions with my allocated key worker and allocated therapist.
I can’t stress enough how much new information I learnt in just 14 days.
I have left Cassiobury Court with a renewed determination to start working the 12 step programme and to do what I’m told – as the people who have been giving me this advice are proof to me that I too can change my life for the better as they have.
A huge thank you to you all!

I have spent some time at Cassiobury Court over the last 6 months and cannot speak more highly of the experience. I admitted myself for alcohol addiction and was very scared when I arrived and did not have any idea what to expect. The staff could not have been kinder to me. I wanted to leave on day 2 because I was very anxious and out of my comfort zone, but fortunately staff members calmed me down and I ended up staying which I am very glad about. The schedule is very good with group sessions, some one on one sessions and therapy sessions.
The food is excellent and the chefs are very accommodating if you wish to have something different. There is a daily trip to the local shop to get any bits you may need.
All the staff are amazing, the recovery workers, the management, the chefs and kitchen staff and all that work at Cassiobury are all so caring and it really shows.
You have time to get to know the rest of the group and I ended up building close bonds and have kept in contact with many that I met in Cassiobury (and I bump into people I met at meetings outside as well as on the aftercare calls).
All in all, if your are considering a treatment centre then I would highly recommend Cassiobury Court, I am very grateful for my time there.
How Can I Tell If I’m Living With an Addiction?
Am I living with a drug addiction? The fact that you are here now shows you are willing to make a change, and this is a very good sign. It’s also important to understand that drug addiction is an illness, not something you have chosen or should feel guilty about.
Drugs are chemically formulated to get you hooked, and this is the reason why so many people ask for support with drug addiction. You are not alone.
Drugs have an incredibly powerful effect on the way our bodies and brains function. Over time, people can become so physically and emotionally dependent on drugs that attempting to stop can produce unbearable symptoms.
The only way to feel better is to take the drug again to overcome the withdrawal symptoms.
By this point, a patient has become addicted. Taking the drug they’ve been experiencing violent physical cravings for instantly makes them feel comfortable and euphoric and this is why it is such a hard habit to break.

How Does Drug and Alcohol Rehab in Cambridge Work?
You’re probably wondering exactly what happens in a Cambridge rehab centre. The very first thing you need to know is that it’s going to be demanding, both physically and emotionally, and you need to be ready to commit to giving up no matter how hard you find it.
When you join us here at our Cambridge clinic, you will be required to stay residentially for 28 days. During that period, you will undertake an Alcohol detox programme, which can take up to two weeks, depending on how severe your substance addiction has become.
At no point during this process should you take drugs because the only way your recovery can happen is if they are completely out of your system.
This stage of the process is extremely challenging, and you will need 24/7 supervision by our medical team here in Cambridge. To ease the pain of your withdrawal, they may offer you prescription medication.
This is just the start of your road to recovery. Following the Detox phase, you will be able to receive support from us for as long as you need it – both residentially here at our Cambridge clinic and after you return home.
Our aim is to help you become permanently drug or alcohol-free, so we will teach you a range of coping strategies to help you deal with life without ever needing to take drugs again.
How Long are Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programmes?
Although your rehab program will start with a 28-day residential with our team here in Cambridge, that’s only the start. So, how long does drug rehab last?
This is actually a difficult question to answer because it all depends on the individual. Drug addiction therapy is always person-centred, so what works quickly for one person might take longer for another.
As our treatment is inpatient and takes 28 days, we advise you to let your close family members and friends know that you might be unavailable for a while. Arranging some time off with your employer is also important.
Once you are ready, we can pick you up from your home in Cambridge and transport you to our facility.
Is There Free Help for Addiction?
Yes, if private rehab isn’t for you, don’t worry, you won’t be left to fight the battle alone there are certainly other routes to get the help you need. Two of the most common and popular meetings are DA and AA meetings, below you can find ones local to you in Cambridge.
Alcoholics Anonymous Meetings in Cambridge

CB2 3EL (wheelchair access available & 1 hour meetings are held according to schedule.)
Narcotics Anonymous Meetings in Cambridge

FAQ's
Many people ask us, “Is rehab free?” Unfortunately, it isn’t however there are several private health insurance policies that will pay out on drug rehab so it’s a good idea to speak to your employer or insurance company to see if you are covered. The policy may pay for treatment here at our Cambridge clinic.
Many patients ask us “How much is rehab in Cambridge?” when they first come to see us. Even if you think the cost is beyond your reach, it’s important that you talk to us because we might be able to signpost you to another service who can help.
The UK does not have any specific NHS drug and alcohol rehab clinics. When an NHS patient is referred for addiction treatment, it is to a private clinic like ours in Cambridge. Please be aware that NHS waiting lists are very long, and the criteria is very strict so there is no guarantee you will be seen.
Of course. Our drug and alcohol rehab team here in Cambridge will always treat your case with absolute confidentiality and respect your privacy.
