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

Had the most amazing experience at Cassiobury Court, guided me through my issues and left me full of knowledge, positivity and hope. The amazing staff are always smiling, always offering sound advice when needed, and always there if you just need a chat, they treat you as their peers and make you feel instantly relaxed. Couldn't recommend the place more - go in with an open mind, be honest about everything and be willing to recover! (P.s. also great food ?) - I cannot speak highly enough of my time at Cassiobury. This was my second visit (unfortunately) and the support, experience and expertise has only improved in 3 years - I am incredibly glad I chose to return. The staff will change your life - measuring empathetic understanding with straight-talking honesty. I would recommend to anyone who’s struggling and wants to get on the path to recovery.
- 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 am Sam and I arrived at Cassiobury Court for 28 days at the end of May. This was my second rehab experience. I cannot praise Cassiobury Court enough. Each day was well structured and every group session was designed to give you different tools to sobriety. I learnt so much from all the therapists and key workers that were taking the sessions due to my lack of understanding of this illness. I was in a place where I was made to feel comfortable and no question were silly which encouraged me to dig deeper and ask questions around my illness and myrecovery. Cassiobury Court approach to recovery, worked very well for me. It was not like Boot Camp. They actually gave me time to digest the information that was given and time to absorb what was said they kind of gave me the balance to learn, but also do every day life things, I also had time to reflect and focus on myself I would encourage any newcomers to rehab to engage in many group sessions as they can and take out as much as they can out of these sessions the 12 step AA program was explained to me in such a simple way and gave me the confidence to work it. I would like to give a special thanks to my key worker as she has helped me find a a new sober, Sam. My key worker from the start has been open and honest which has helped me with my recovery. I would like to also thank all the staff at Cassiobury Court that have had an impact on my road to recovery. A special thanks to the kitchen staff and the cleaning staff, as by them doing what they do gave me time to focus on myself and not have to worry about cooking and cleaning. The kitchen staff have made sure that I have been eating properly and have helped me build up my strength. Overall, Cassiobury Court is the place to come to if in need of a medical detox or need to understand what is involved in recovery and give you the opportunity on how to get away from addiction It’s like being given a second sober life. I cannot thank Cassiobury Court enough.
- Cassiobury Court has given me the hope of another chance to live again a sober life that I once had about two decades ago. I was drinking alcohol heavily in recent years that led to so many problems in my life that I can't state here. I wasn't even aware that it is an illness, rather than a habit that I could get rid of just on my willpower before I walked through the doors here. Realization of how much damage this illness has done to my life and my loved ones wouldn't have come to me without the help I have received here. My initial thoughts were that I am going to prison but the ideology here is completely different. If you are willing to recover from alcoholism or in general, any addiction then this is the place to be. If you want to walk out, become a quitter and continue your same life then no one will stop you. Such a set-up really worked for me, especially because if it was a military-type rehabilitation then I would have walked out. All the key workers, counselors, kitchen staff, cleaners, pharmacists, nurses, and fitness & yoga trainers everyone is so accommodating, warm, and helpful beyond my expectations. If someone is really willing to recover then this is the place. Big big thank you to Cassiobury Court for saving me and I wish myself to be successful on my life-long road of recovery.
- Cassiobury Court is a fantastic, peaceful place to recover. I am leaving today and can’t be more grateful to the staff and fellow residents who have made my stay such a wonderful experience. All the staff are happily prepared to go the extra mile to make your stay as comfortable and relaxing as possible. There are a great range of workshops and activities to help you explore how your mind, body and spirit can assist with your recovery. The kitchen team provide nutritionally balanced food options and if you don’t fancy what is on the menu they are happy to make something to your taste. The rooms, facilities and grounds are immaculately maintained. I am positive about the future.

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.
