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

The sessions are very informative and engaging. The feeling of community is unparallelled.

- It’s a pleasure to have been a client at Cassiobury Court. From the moment I arrived I felt like a welcome part of the family, it’s non judgmental and compassionate approach to recovery has differed from any center which I have previously attended. The structure allowed me to develop at my own pace and to work through my recovery journey, which started with me at an all time low. When I entered I was a shell of a person, after a toxic relationship. My substance misuse and eating disorder was out of control and my health, mental and physical, was deteriorating rapidly. The staff, each with there own expertise and experience guided me compassionately and from a genuine place of kindness and warmth. The facilities, all departments from housekeeping, kitchen to admin and support staff, have made a genuine difference to the person I am leaving as. Strong, rebuilt and confident.

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.

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.
