At Priory, we are committed to your long-term recovery. With a team of dedicated addiction specialists and evidence-based therapies, we offer personalised care at every stage of your journey. Whether you require medically assisted detox, therapy sessions, or aftercare, our services provide the support and tools you need for lasting recovery.
At Priory, our addiction treatment specialists recognise that all forms of addiction can have a negative impact on your psychological and physical health. We deliver high quality treatment for a wide range of substance and behavioural addictions, including alcohol, drugs, gambling, sex, internet, porn and shopping addictions.
Inpatient treatment
Inpatient, or residential, treatment involves staying in hospital throughout your treatment programme, providing 24-hour care, structure, and a break from everyday triggers. Addiction inpatients typically undergo a 28-day stay, incorporating therapeutic approaches like medically assisted detoxification (detox) to support recovery effectively. However, we also offer options for 7-day, 14-day and 21-day treatment plans.
Day care
Day care offers structured therapy on a part-time basis, with full or half-day sessions at a Priory site. It suits people who don't need 24-hour care but would still benefit from ongoing support, helping to maintain long-term recovery and prevent relapse.
Outpatient treatment
Outpatient treatment provides weekly therapy sessions, usually lasting an hour, at a Priory site. Flexible evening and weekend options allow therapy to fit around work or personal commitments. It's ideal for people who need less intensive support and those who aren't actively using addictive substances, as detox isn't offered on an outpatient basis.
Online therapy
Online therapy connects you with accredited therapists through secure video calls, enabling you to access professional support from any private location. Evening and weekend appointments ensure convenience, offering evidence-based techniques tailored to your needs. Research shows that online therapy is just as effective as in-person sessions.
Our 28-day residential addiction treatment programme includes:
All therapy delivered as part of Priory’s addiction treatment programme is consultant-led, with input from our expert team of addiction therapists and support staff. Addiction therapy sessions help you to explore the underlying causes for your addiction, understand the triggers for your addictive behaviours and learn to manage your cravings and urges. We can also provide support for co-occurring mental health problems, including depression, anxiety, anger management issues and bereavement.
If you're struggling with an alcohol or drug addiction, we offer a medically assisted detoxification process for your addiction, which takes place over the first 7 to 10 days of your stay.
Detox takes place on an inpatient basis, where medical professionals can offer round-the-clock care, helping you to manage your challenging withdrawal symptoms. We can also use carefully controlled medication to limit your withdrawal symptoms and stabilise your physical health.
Following detox, you'll be physically stable and ready to commence intensive addiction therapy. Here, you can fully focus on long-term recovery from addiction, engaging in therapy, support groups, and other forms of treatment to work towards achieving lasting results.
At Priory, we're committed to your ongoing recovery, which is why we offer free aftercare for 12 months to everyone who completes our 28-day addiction treatment programme.
During aftercare, we provide access to a range of resources and ongoing networking support to aid your recovery and reduce the risk of relapse. Our experts will create a detailed continuing care plan tailored to your needs, ensuring you are equipped to manage life successfully after completing intensive treatment.
