Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centres in Cambridge
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.

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.

When I came in to Cassiobury I was all over the place my life was in chaos caused by me. I didn’t know what to expect when I arrived, I had been in another rehab before. I didn’t have a good experience there unfortunately. At Cassiobury I made the effort to be around everyone and learn, taking part in everything which is the only way to learn. The thing I really love about Cassiobury are staff who are in recovery themselves which is amazing - they point you in the right direction from their own experiences which has made all the difference to me. It’s been massive for me. You know when you are talking to staff they have done it themselves. Every single staff have been brilliant, they have different approaches and which has been the best therapy for me as they understand what I’ve been going through. I felt safe at Cassiobury which gave me a sense of relief and helped me to relax, release my anxieties and fears focusing on what I needed to do - from feeling broken I feel repaired. I cannot fully express what this is done for me. I can’t fault this place from the top to the cleaners. I leave Cassiobury with more understanding about addiction than I’ve ever had. I’ve got the tools I need which gives me the courage to remain sober. My loved one found this place and I’m so grateful that she did! She made a huge effort for me. You will get everything you need if you want it - don’t waste the opportunity. For me Cassiobury court will work for you but you need to work for yourself while you’re there - you won’t regret it.

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! Jennie

I needed to be separated from alcohol and initially booked in for a two week alcohol detox. A couple of days in however i knew i was in a good 12 step based rehab. I decided then another 2 weeks was necessary to get a good solid start for my recovery journey. I have experience of a 12 step program, it had worked for me for some years prior. Cassiobury Ct had a good, varied program. I learnt so much more about myself and addiction. The staff were all compassionate and knowledgeable. Many had been where i was. I felt safe in CC. I was fortunate to be surrounded by very supportive peers, we cried together and we laughed together. I walked in feeling such a failure , since leaving i have held my head high. Thank you for the love CC when I struggled to love myself. Cathy R

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.

A superb venue for anyone who would like to begin the real journey of recovery from addiction. Every single member of staff cares and they cannot do enough with an always cheerful approach and outlook. This was my third visit to different Rehabs and this one has made by far the most difference. The therapy is second to none and the food is outstanding. Highly recommended.

I benefitted greatly at cassiobury court. I came in willing to work hard and overcome my mental blockages which kept me relapsing. The one to one's with the therapist and going through the steps really humbled me. I know now how my head works and will never take my sobriety for granted ever again. I have a structure back in my life I.e food, sleep, exercise and have the tools I need to push on and lead a good and spiritual life. Thank you to all the Cassiobury team. From the housekeeping staff to management has been excellent. I would strongly recommend to anyone to stay for 28 days like I did as its turned my life around. From a massively heavy drinker and cocaine user to give me the chance for a good life here on end. Brenden
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.

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.
