Free addiction assessment at your nearest Priory hospital

All of our private addiction hospitals and rehabs offer a free initial addiction assessment to those struggling with addiction. The assessment is an opportunity to discuss your addiction symptoms, triggers, and anything else that could be contributing to your addiction, such as underlying mental health conditions. 

The addiction assessment is performed by one of our world-class consultants, either over the phone, in person, or if you'd prefer it can be done via online video. The assessment typically lasts for 90 minutes.

Once you have been assessed and choose Priory as your care provider, you will be introduced to our established addiction treatment programmes.

Private alcohol rehab at Priory

Alcohol addiction, which is also referred to as ‘alcoholism’ or ‘alcohol use disorder’, is characterised by drinking alcohol excessively, to the extent that you become both physically and psychologically dependent on alcohol in order to function effectively on a daily basis.

At Priory, we recognise that without expert, timely treatment, alcohol addiction can result in a wide range of long-term psychological and physical problems, and can even be fatal. However, it’s important to understand that alcohol addiction is treatable and you don’t have to struggle on your own. Our highly qualified addiction treatment team, consisting of psychiatrists, psychologists, therapists, and nurses, are able to offer personalised private rehab for your alcohol addiction at our specialist hospitals and wellbeing centres.

Private rehab for alcohol addiction at Priory is tailored according to your unique needs and the severity of your addiction. It may be necessary for you to undergo a comprehensive medically assisted withdrawal detoxification process in order to ensure that you are physically stable, prior to commencing with intensive alcohol addiction rehab and therapy. This will empower you to identify the underlying causes and triggers for your alcohol addiction, before equipping you with the skills to stop drinking, and regain control of your life.

Private drug rehab at Priory

Drug addiction is a condition that is characterised by taking or administering drugs on a repeated basis, until you develop a dependence on these substances. People may become addicted to illegal drugs such as heroin, cocaine, or MDMA/ecstasy, or legal prescription drugs.

If it is left untreated, drug addiction can lead to a whole host of serious problems and can have a hugely detrimental impact on all areas of your life including your relationships with others, your performance at work, your ability to function on a daily basis, and your general health and wellbeing.

However, the good news is that drug addiction is treatable and the most crucial first step is to seek specialist drug addiction treatment and support. Our highly qualified drug addiction teams at Priory consist of expert psychiatrists, psychologists, therapists and other addiction specialists, and we are dedicated to providing individually tailored private rehab for your drug addiction, including a medically assisted detox process if this is required. We ensure that each individual who seeks private rehab for their drug addiction at Priory, benefits from individually tailored treatment plans, which are specifically designed to meet your unique needs and requirements.

Private rehab admission and pricing information

Private rehab at Priory is available through self-funding or via private medical insurance pricing plans.

There are many reasons why you may choose to pay to receive expert private rehab at Priory. It may be because your local NHS provider does not offer the specific addiction treatment that you need, or there is insufficient capacity and long waiting times for treatment. Alternatively, you may simply prefer the peace of mind of receiving access to expert care from the UK’s leading independent provider of private rehab services.

Using PMI for addiction rehab

The Priory is also a registered and approved provider for all of the UK’s leading private medical insurers, including Bupa, Vitality, Aviva, Cigna, WPA and AXA Health. If you have access to private medical insurance, either personally or through your workplace, your policy may require you to obtain a GP referral before commencing with private rehab at Priory. Speak to your insurer for more details of their referral process.
