Private Addiction Treatment

Are you suffering from addictive behaviour and require medical help from a drug or alcohol rehab centre? If you have an alcohol dependence or rely on illegal drugs or prescription medication in your day-to-day life, it’s a sign you need to receive treatment.

Understanding your treatment options is the first step in your recovery journey. At Cassiobury Court, we understand the importance of drug and alcohol addiction treatment and the devastating results of ongoing substance misuse. That’s why we offer private alcohol and drug rehab for those 18 and older in a beautiful residential setting in Watford.

Get In Touch

Are you suffering from a Drug or Alcohol Addiction and need help? Cassiobury Court is a leading UK-based expert in Private Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Treatment. Find out how we can help by getting in touch with our friendly team today through our confidential online form.

What Happens in Private Rehab?

Battling addiction alone is extremely difficult and can cause many negative effects on your life, including long-term physical and mental health problems.

The addiction counsellors and medical professionals in private rehab understand the challenges of addiction, which is why rehab treatment programmes incorporate support and expert guidance throughout the process.

Inpatient rehab programmes typically involve medically assisted detox followed by therapy and aftercare sessions.

Drug and Alcohol Detox

The detoxification stage of drug and alcohol rehabilitation at Cassiobury Court is designed to support withdrawal symptoms safely and comfortably. This is achieved through medically supervised detox, supported by our multidisciplinary clinical team, who are there at every step.

Therapy for Drug and Alcohol Addiction

After undergoing a successful drug and alcohol detox, you will move on to therapies such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), counselling sessions, meaningful daily activities, stress management, group therapy and relapse prevention.

Support groups and therapy treatments are designed to help you understand your addiction more and learn ways to take control of your mind by teaching you relapse prevention techniques to overcome urges or cravings that could trigger a relapse of your addiction.

Treating the mental aspect of drug and alcohol addiction is an important aspect of addiction recovery, as many addictions, such as cocaine addiction and alcohol addiction, also cause psychological symptoms.

In addition to these psychologically focused therapies, we also ensure our clients’ well-being is taken care of by delivering mindfulness, yoga, art therapy, fitness therapy, relaxation and sleep management.

Lasting Recovery Through Free Aftercare Planning

After recovery, you’ll leave equipped with the skills to regain control of your everyday life. But just because you’re leaving us doesn’t mean that our help stops there. During your stay, we’ll work with you to develop effective relapse prevention techniques you can use after you leave us. Not only that, but we’ll ensure you still get the ongoing support you need through regular sessions with organisations such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

What is the Difference Between Inpatient and Outpatient Rehab?

Private rehab treatment in the UK differs from local NHS recovery programmes in how it is delivered and the therapies you can expect to receive. Private rehab for alcohol and drug addiction also provides you with relapse prevention techniques and aftercare, which are not available through outpatient services.

Funding for Rehab

Outpatient treatment is typically free for people who require it, whereas private rehab can be costly. This reflects the types of treatments provided, which treat addiction and factors in residential costs and aftercare services provided by medical professionals.

Inpatient Treatment Programmes

Many private rehab programmes are residential, meaning you stay in a rehab facility for a set amount of time during the treatment programme. Publicly funded rehab through the NHS or services such as Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous take place locally with weekly meetings that do not involve residential care.

Pros and Cons of Outpatient Rehab

Local addiction treatment in your area
Affordable rehab programmes for all budgets
Treatment works around your regular schedule

Long waiting lists to start treatment
Hard to avoid relapse at home
Lower success rates than private rehab

What Are the Benefits of Private Rehab?

There are a number of benefits to private drug and alcohol rehab, from free aftercare to an unwavering support system, all designed towards your recovery and personal growth.

Unlike outpatient rehab programmes, inpatient treatment offers you quick treatment for any drug and alcohol use disorder. Our admissions process at Cassiobury Court enables you to start a treatment programme at our residential facility once you have paid a deposit and secured your room and treatment.

Our admissions process is designed to be supportive and person-centred. It will involve an in-depth assessment of medical history and your individual needs, and based on this information, our experienced team will develop a personalised care plan within 24-48 hours of admission.

Leading Drug and Alcohol Addiction Treatment

At private rehab, your physical health and mental health are prioritised throughout treatment to give you the best chance at achieving long-term addiction recovery. This is why you will receive a medically assisted detox followed by therapies which have been proven to treat drug and alcohol problems.

Medical Guidance and Support

One of the biggest benefits of residential alcohol rehab is that you receive round-the-clock support and guidance from support workers and medical professionals, as well as peer support from those also receiving treatment. Staying in a residential facility such as ours provides you with the comfort and expertise needed to help you overcome harmful drinking habits, cocaine addiction or other drug addictions, all in a secure and safe environment.

My experience at CC has been truly life-changing. During my 4-week stay I managed to turn my life around with the help of the recovery programme CC has given me. All staff are very professional, supportive, friendly and approachable. I could turn to anyone at any time of the day if I needed help or simply anyone to talk to. The sessions are very informative and engaging. The feeling of community is unparallelled. I enjoyed a combination of 1-2-1 meetings/therapy sessions, group workshops, creative sessions and social activities. taught about multiple concepts and techniques to enable my recover. The facility itself, alongside with the quality of food and housekeeping is excellent. The atmosphere at CC made me feel safe, welcomed and understood. I would strongly recommend CC to any sufferingaddicts seeking a long-term recovery. My only suggestion was to arrange activities between group meetings and some exercise equipment. The table tennis table and the TV in the main group meeting room needs fixing for normal TV programmes. Apart fruthe issues above I would recommend CC for rehabilitation

I have just finished up my treatment at Cassiobury Court which is my 2nd in two years. Initially I had gone for only 2 weeks but did 21 days (28 days is still recommended). The staff was absolutely incredibly; knowledgable, supportive, organised and REAL. Addiction is a serious disease and if you are serious about recovery and want to live a strong, healthier, more spiritual and joyful life - you should admit you are powerlessness and get the support from Cassiobury Court. The programs are incredibly valuable in group settings to hear other like experiences with the addition of private `Step (1-3) work and therapy sessions with professionals. If you are looking at this review, it means you are looking for help. Get here, get sober, find your new life starting at Cassiobury Court.

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 Kel xxxx

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 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.
