Transform 28
A life-changing 28-day inpatient journey to recovery
Transform 28 is Priory’s structured 28-day inpatient addiction treatment programme, designed to help you take steps towards recovery in a safe, therapeutic environment.
Grounded in National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines and based on the well-known 12-step model, the programme combines evidence-based therapies, holistic approaches and tailored care to suit your individual needs. If needed, you’ll also have access to a medically assisted detox, giving you a safe and carefully managed way to withdraw from harmful substances as you begin your recovery.
A key part of Transform 28 is our commitment to ongoing support – you’ll receive 12 months of free aftercare once your inpatient stay ends. That’s why we consider it a 13-month programme, combining 28 days of intensive treatment with a full year of continued support. This helps you stay connected, focused and confident as you take your recovery forward.
Transform 28 is ideal for people facing moderate to severe substance or behavioural addictions who are ready to commit to structured, inpatient support. It’s especially helpful if you’ve tried to stop on your own but found it hard to maintain progress.
You’ll benefit from a focused, professionally led setting – giving you the space and support to rebuild your life, away from everyday pressures and triggers.
Programme structure and timeline
Week 1: Detox and stabilisation
If needed, your programme will begin with a medically assisted detox, delivered in a safe and professionally supported environment. This helps manage withdrawal symptoms and gives your body time to adjust.
Detox can last up to 10 days, depending on your clinical needs. As soon as you’re physically able – and with your consultant’s guidance – you’ll have the opportunity to begin therapy and holistic activities, even if you’re still going through our detox process. This timing is different for everyone and tailored to your individual needs.
Weeks 2 to 4: Core therapeutic programme
As your detox progresses or comes to an end, you’ll begin taking part in therapeutic and holistic activities – when you’re ready and as advised by your consultant. For many people, this starts during detox and continues as their physical health improves.
You’ll engage in a blend of group therapy sessions, one-to-one therapy and holistic activities such as yoga, mindfulness and art therapy. The programme follows the 12-step model, helping you build insight into your behaviours, develop emotional resilience, and learn practical strategies to support long-term recovery.
Week 4: Transition and step-down planning
As you approach the end of your inpatient stay, we’ll help you prepare for what comes next. This includes a personalised step-down plan, which may involve day care or outpatient therapy.
Post-discharge: 12 months of free aftercare
Your recovery journey continues long after you leave inpatient care. Transform 28 includes a full year of aftercare, with access to weekly support groups, relapse prevention advice and ongoing connection to the wider recovery community.
