Anchor 1:1
Outpatient therapy for stability and support in recovery
Anchor 1:1 is Priory’s outpatient addiction therapy programme, offering one-to-one sessions designed to help you better understand your behaviours and develop practical strategies for long-term recovery.
It’s suitable for anyone looking to address early signs of addictive behaviour or continue their progress after a more intensive programme. With sessions available online or face-to-face, Anchor 1:1 offers flexibility to access support in a way that fits around your life.
Sessions are held weekly and last for 50 minutes. Each session is tailored to you – helping you build emotional resilience and improve your day-to-day functioning.
If you’re unsure whether Anchor 1:1 is right for you, our free addiction assessment lets you speak with a specialist and explore your next steps.
What’s included in Anchor 1:1?
Where is treatment delivered?
Anchor 1:1 is delivered either face-to-face or online, depending on what’s right for you – whether that’s at home, in a quiet, private space that suits your routine, or at one of our sites.
Online therapy means you have the freedom to take part from wherever works best and feels comfortable for you. Face-to-face therapy offers the opportunity to connect in-person with your therapist at one of our Priory sites, which some people find more engaging or reassuring. You can also move between online and in-person sessions, depending on your needs, preferences and availability.
FAQs
Do I need to detox before starting the programme?
If you’re physically dependent on alcohol or drugs and need a medical detox, Anchor 1:1 might not be the best place to start. You may need more intensive support at first, for example, through our Transform 28 or Foundations 16 services.
If you’re unsure, you can book our free addiction assessment or give us a call. We’ll talk through your needs and help guide you towards the safest and most effective option for you.
How much does Anchor 1:1 cost?
Each therapy session starts from £120, with sessions typically lasting around an hour. You can book weekly or as often as you feel you need, giving you the flexibility to access ongoing support at a pace that suits you.
Can I combine this with other Priory programmes?
Anchor 1:1 can be used on its own if you don’t need intensive support, or as a step down from one of our more intensive programmes like Transform 28, Flourish 14/28/42, Foundations 16 or Elevate 12. It’s a flexible option that fits around your needs, whether you're just starting out or continuing your recovery journey.
