Find out more about our rehabilitation centres
Priory rehabilitation centres can be found throughout the UK. At our centres, we provide residential treatment programmes for all forms of addictions, including those related to alcohol, drugs and gambling.
Our residential treatment programmes give people the time and space they need to understand their addiction and start their recovery. Through group and one-to-one therapies, seminars, workshops and key individual working time, they learn more about the causes and effects of their addiction, and develop strategies for recovery going forward.
Day care and outpatient treatment programmes are also available if needed.
All our centres have aftercare programmes for people who finish residential treatment, so they're supported as they start to pick up their life and their responsibilities. As we understand the impact addiction can have on the family, family support groups are also available to help people learn more about addiction, get much-needed advice and support from specialists and peers, as well as help to prepare for life following on from the residential programme.
If you'd like to find out more about our rehabilitation centres, please make an enquiry. All of our centres offer free addiction assessments where you have the opportunity to visit your closest site and meet with the team. During this, the team will work with you to determine the best form of treatment so you can take the right step forward.
