Drug addiction treatment and rehabilitation at Priory Hospital Chelmsford

Priory Hospital Chelmsford, located just outside London, is a specialist addiction rehabilitation centre, delivering high quality treatment for a range of addictions, including drug addictions.

Our 28-day residential addiction treatment programme has been designed to enable you to overcome your physical dependence on drugs, as part of our medically assisted detoxification process, before helping you to explore and resolve the underlying triggers for your drug addiction, through therapy. Drug addiction rehab at Chelmsford is underpinned by the 12-Step addiction treatment approach. This provides some guiding principles for drug addiction rehab, with a focus on abstinence and motivation to change. The 12-Step approach was first pioneered by Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and is used worldwide in addiction treatment, with proven success.

Our highly qualified addiction treatment team, consisting of psychiatrists, psychologists, therapists, nurses and other mental health professionals, are dedicated to delivering tailored drug addiction treatment and rehab, in order to produce the best outcomes for everyone we support. In addition, our team are committed to your ongoing recovery once you have left treatment, and provide free aftercare for 12 months to everyone who completes the 28-day addiction treatment programme.

It’s important to recognise that you don’t have to struggle with a drug addiction; expert support is available, and it’s important that you get the help you need.
