Drug Rehab
At Cassiobury Court, we offer a residential rehab service for drug addiction at our London rehab centre. We provide comprehensive treatment programmes, expert medical and psychiatric staff, and a way forward for those seeking sobriety.
Our treatment programmes are directed by medical professionals who ensure a completely safe and therapeutic environment for our clients. Each addiction programme is tailored to the individual, with clients assessed prior to rehab admission to determine which treatment methods are appropriate.
What Addictions Do We Treat?
Here at Cassiobury Court rehab centre, we treat any drug problem. You can receive drug treatment for the most common addictions such as alcohol, heroin and prescription drug addiction, or even more obscure drugs which people do not typically associate with addictions.
Common addiction services we provide include:
- Alcohol Rehab
- Cocaine Rehab
- Prescription Drug Rehab
- Cannabis Rehab
- Ketamine Rehab
- Crystal Meth Rehab
- Sleeping Pill Rehab
Signs You May Need Drug Rehab
Signs you should go to rehab for drug addiction treatment may not always be immediately obvious. Over 329,646 adults were in contact with drug and alcohol treatment services between April 2024 and March 2025 in England – the highest number since reporting began.
However, there are a number of signs that may indicate the validity of attending a drug rehab treatment programme as opposed to attempting to cease your addiction unaided.
You should consider drug rehab when you are:
- Driving your vehicle when under the influence
- Caring for your family when under the influence
- Experiencing negative health problems that are likely caused by drug use
- Family and friends expressing concern about your drug use
- Experiencing withdrawal symptoms when you attempt to stop using drugs
- Self-harming or suicidal thoughts
- Losing your job or experiencing disrupted education due to your drug use
- Lying about your drug use, even to your peers who also use drugs
Types of Drug Rehab Clinics Available
There are two main types of drug rehab treatment currently available: inpatient and outpatient treatment. Both of these can be accessed by any individuals in need of rehabilitation for drug use and misuse.
Inpatient Rehab
At Cassiobury Court, we offer in-client (inpatient) treatment, also known as ‘residential’ treatment. Residential rehab treatment means an individual will physically live at the rehabilitation facility for around 10-28 days. During this time, those suffering from addiction receive around-the-clock care and attention from a team of caring professionals. Inpatient rehab is also good for reducing exposure to triggers that may be influencing your addiction.
Outpatient Rehab
Outpatient treatment typically takes place during the day at organised sessions, where an individual returns home during the evening. It’s generally not as intensive as inpatient treatment, which means that group sessions may only occur once or twice a week and are spread over several weeks.
We generally only recommend the outpatient route for drug addiction treatment when it follows an inpatient rehab programme, sometimes in the form of aftercare sessions.
What You’ll Experience at Our Drug Rehab Centre
Admission
Prior to initial admission, an individual will undergo a drug addiction assessment as part of the admissions process. You’ll start with a confidential phone call with a member of our admissions team, who can assess your situation. For those seeking immediate support, admission can sometimes be arranged within 24 hours where appropriate.
Once admitted, a psychiatrist will assess the physical and psychological aspects of the addiction and any potential dual-diagnosed mental health conditions an individual may be experiencing, like anxiety or depression. Once concluded, your notes will be assessed by our clinical team, who will devise a recommended treatment plan.
Medical Detox
At the beginning of addiction treatment, the first stage is known as the drug detox process, where the body is rid of all traces of the drug. This stage is especially important when physical dependency is present. We recommend this be completed in a safe environment, observed by medical staff to ensure minimal complications. Prescription medications may also be required at this stage of treatment, which is why we recommend detox occurs in the presence of our medically trained staff.
Treatment
Once the body is clean of the drug after the medically assisted detox, the next stage of rehabilitation is therapy. Our treatment plans are designed to help clients stay clean long after care has ended. Factors that can influence the addiction treatment received include the type of drug an individual is taking, the severity of the addiction, the client’s psychological condition, and their personality.
Treatment can include:
- One-To-One Counselling Sessions
- Group Therapy
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
- Holistic therapies including Yoga, Meditation, and Therapy
- Dialectical Behavioural Therapy
- Family Therapy
Long-term recovery is ultimately in the hands of the individual struggling with addiction, and therapy is important to get to the root cause of the addiction and identify what may trigger drug use.
Aftercare
Returning home after rehab is a significant stage of the recovery process. To make that transition easier, we also provide continued aftercare support, helping you manage potential triggers, maintain healthy routines and access guidance whenever you need additional help with your recovery.
How Long Do Drug Rehab Programmes Last?
The amount of time spent in a rehab clinic depends upon the severity and history of your drug addiction. Since drug addiction is a mental, not physical, disorder, it takes time to tackle these issues using modern therapy sessions.
If your rehab stay is too short, an individual can’t expect to leave having received sufficient treatment for these mental issues. And if the mental causes of your addiction are not sufficiently treated, relapse is more likely to occur.
While it’s impossible to answer this question without a full assessment, the vast majority of people can make significant progress during therapy sessions when they agree to stay at the rehab centre for around 28 days, or four weeks.
Some individuals may require rehab of a longer duration, for instance, for six to eight weeks.
As an example, addiction to opiates typically requires around 14 days to treat the physical withdrawal symptoms. But if you are addicted to cocaine and attend cocaine rehab, you will likely suffer from psychological withdrawal symptoms, with these fading around a week after no usage.
It’s essential that an individual gives themselves enough time to recover from their addiction.
How Much Does Drug Rehab Cost in the UK?
Making the decision to start rehab for drugs in the UK will generally require some form of financial investment. The specifics depend on the type of treatment an individual requires, the addiction treatment centre they attend, and the duration of treatment.
As a rule of thumb, treatment centres offering a full residential experience will require a greater investment when compared to outpatient or so-called ‘quasi-residential’ treatment providers.
Estimated Rehabilitation Costs*
- £6,995 for a 14-night programme
- £10,200 for a 21-night programme
- £11,950 for a 28-night programme

I came into Cassiobury Court after years of trying to stop on my own, after years of abusing myself physically and mentally i finally came in with the willingness to ask for help and that is what i recieved. Although nervous when I first came in i was greeted with an incredibly friendly and supportive team, I was made to feel at ease and given privacy but i also knew help was ready and available when i needed it The workshops, counselling and advice all felt they were tailored to me rather then just being another client and i was encouraged to start seeing the postives of life rather then the negatives, I enjoyed every workshop and the social aspect that came with meeting a group of like minded people and felt that i was being heard and understood. Since leaving i have re started my life and had support from everyone along the way I would highly recommend them. To anyone who feels they may be struggling. - Well well well… what an experience I have had during my time in Cassiobury Court. 6 months I have spent in the building. I came in as a broken girl not knowing where to turn, I’m leaving here a positive woman, with a totally different outlook on life, I haven’t learnt so much about myself and also about the mind uttering substances that change your life for the worst. The staff is Cassiobury Court are indescribable, they showed me love when I didn’t love myself, they believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself and most of all they helped shape me into the girl I am today. The house keeping was on point as was the maintenance and also the food. I cannot recommend this place enough. This building and the staff have that much of a special place e in my heart I even had a tattoo done. I’m so grateful for you all and will forever appreciate you❤️
- 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 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

The staff are simply out of this world. The location is peaceful, beautiful and the accommodation/food excellent My journey at Cassiobury helped me get on the right side of the road, I stayed focused and happy to say - today I'm still sober Today I can start living "one day at a time", they have given me a new life filled with hope, peace and love. Ive never felt happier Jo
- I spent 2 weeks at Cassiobury, really think it might have saved my life, Jane walked me in on the first day and told me I wouldn't want to leave by the end of it, she wasn't wrong. Every member of staff were amazing and so supportive. Having had two not so good experiences at other rehabs I was very nervous and in a really bad way, at my worst point in drinking ever and thinking there was no way out, but now I feel better than I have in 4 years 🙂 so apprecitive to literally everyone there, so welcoming and understanding. The food is amazing too, and will cater to your needs, felt so looked after and genuinely cared for, will forever be grateful for this experience x

When you enter drug rehab with us, you will undergo an initial assessment to understand your drug use, physical health, mental health and personal circumstances. Our clinical team will use this information to recommend a suitable treatment programme, which may include a medically assisted detox followed by individual and group therapy.
Stopping some drugs suddenly can cause uncomfortable or potentially serious withdrawal symptoms. For this reason, we recommend completing detox in a safe and supervised environment where medical professionals can monitor your health. At Cassiobury Court, medication may also be prescribed when clinically appropriate to help manage withdrawal symptoms.
No. You do not have to wait until an addiction becomes severe before seeking professional help. Rehab may be appropriate if drug use is affecting your physical or mental health, relationships, employment, education or ability to manage everyday responsibilities. An assessment can help determine whether residential treatment is suitable for you.
The appropriate length of treatment depends on factors such as the substance being used, the severity and history of the addiction and your individual circumstances. Many clients stay at Cassiobury Court for around 28 days, although shorter programmes of 14 or 21 nights and longer treatment periods may also be appropriate following assessment.
