Drug Rehab
At Cassiobury Court, we offer a residential drug rehab service for addiction to drugs 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 in treatment. Each addiction programme is tailored to the individual, with clients assessed prior to rehab admission to determine which treatment methods are appropriate.
Other 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.

At Cassiobury Court, We Understand What You’re Going Through
Our counsellors at Cassiobury Court are highly qualified and respected in their field, with a particular focus on showing empathy towards our clients. Many of our staff, in particular, have experience with the illness of drug addiction, which helps them identify what’s needed for recovery and make a personal connection to our clients.
Having this personal connection towards drug rehab and rehabilitation programmes allows our staff to deal with many of the misconceptions surrounding how treatment for drug addictions should work.
At Cassiobury Court, we understand that there are many factors that can lead to addiction and relapse, which have been taken into account for the rehabilitation programme to be effective.
What You’ll Experience at Drug Rehab
Prior to initial admission, an individual will undergo a drug addiction assessment as part of the admissions process. Here, a psychiatrist will assess the physical and psychological nature 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 drug detoxification programme.
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. 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, again, why we recommend detox occurs in the presence of our medically trained staff.
Once the body is clean of the drug after the medically assisted detox, the next stage of rehabilitation is therapy. Our therapies are designed to ensure that the client remains clean long after treatment ends. This can include group or one-to-one sessions with one of our counselling staff.
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.
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.
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.
Outpatient treatment, on the other hand, 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.
We generally only recommend the outpatient route for drug addiction treatment when it follows a residential programme, sometimes in the form of aftercare sessions.
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.
The cost of treatment for private drug rehab typically starts from around £4000. To find out the exact cost of drug rehab, call today on 01923 369 161.

This is a treatment centre of the highest calibre. The staff are all highly professional, knowledgeable, approachable and caring. They are a hope-filled resource for any addiction advice and life advice. The wholistic approach of the treatment itself was highly beneficial. As a brief overview, it encompassed: Group sessions, which was a great opportunity to learn about addiction, effective methods of controlling thoughts, emotions and how to incorporate these new skills into daily life and recovery. Mindfulness sessions that taught us the basics of meditation, breathing techniques and emotional regulation. One-to-one sessions with my key worker gave me the guidance needed to incorporate the learned material into an easy to follow recovery plan. My key worker also identified various areas of additional support which will further my recovery both during my stay at Cassiobury Court and in my general daily life. I found the private sessions with the remarkable therapists and psychologist extremely valuable for realigning my values in life so as to seek solace in my pursuits as well as becoming more emotionally centred. As a result I now see the joys in life and not the negatives. On a final note, I commend their high endeavours to offer clean, safe and comfortable living quarters with delicious hot food. They even took care of my laundry for me so that I was able to focus on my health and recovery without distraction. If you are seeking recovery by means of treatment and NOT punishment then Cassiobury Court is quite literally a LIFE SAVER. - 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
- This place equips you with everything you need to recover. Id not hesitate in recommending it. Fantastic, knowledgeable and passionate staff that works tirelessly to personalise care plans. Great food and accommodation.
- 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 .

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
- 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.
- 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.
Signs You May Need Drug Rehab
The signs you should go to rehab for drug addiction treatment may not 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. Signs you should consider drug rehab include:
- Driving your car or attend work/college when under the influence of drugs
- Caring for your children when under the influence of drugs
- Experiencing negative health problems that are likely caused by your drug use
- Family and friends expressing concern about your drug use
- Experiencing withdrawal symptoms when you attempt to stop using drugs
- Self-harming or thinking about committing suicide
- Losing your job or experiencing disrupted education due to your drug use
- Lying about your drug use, even to your peers who also use abuse drugs
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 receiving sufficient treatment for these mental issues. And if the mental causes of your addiction are not sufficiently treated, relapse is more likely to occur.
Whilst 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..
For instance, addiction to opiates typically requires around 14 days to treat the physical withdrawal symptoms. 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. When attending rehab, individuals will be encouraged to attend a tailored programme that’s been specifically designed to give them the best chance towards a long-term recovery.
