At Priory Hospital Glasgow, our experts recognise that all forms of addiction can have a damaging effect on your quality of life, relationships with others, as well as your physical and psychological wellbeing. That is why we are committed to delivering specialist treatment and rehabilitation for a broad range of addictions, including addictions to substances such as alcohol or drugs, as well as behavioural addictions such as gambling, love and sex, internet and shopping addictions. Unfortunately, without expert addiction treatment, it is unlikely that your addictive behaviours will go away on their own, and may result in a whole host of long term negative consequences.

Glasgow’s comprehensive Addiction Treatment Programme is based on the renowned 12-Step addiction treatment model, which was first introduced by the organisation Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). The 12-Step approach focuses on your motivation to change your addictive behaviours, whilst also incorporating elements of spirituality within the recovery journey.

We adopt a patient-centred approach to addiction treatment at Glasgow, meaning that you are involved in all decision-making regarding your care plan, and are placed at the heart of your treatment journey. This approach fosters lifelong recovery and the best possible outcomes for you as an individual.

Our addiction rehabilitation treatment programme includes:

• Free, no obligation addiction assessment - book your appointment today
• 7-day medically assisted withdrawal detoxification for alcohol and drug addictions, if required
• Group therapy and individual 1:1 therapy
• A family programme
• Access to 12-Step support groups
• Free aftercare for 12 months following treatment
• Free family support for 12 months following treatment

Glasgow’s intensive Addiction Treatment Programme is led by our experienced team of consultants, all of whom possess unrivalled clinical experience in the treatment of a wide range of addictions. You will also benefit from expert addiction therapist input as well as access to our dedicated peer supporter network. Furthermore, we are able to treat dual diagnosis and multiple presenting issues at Glasgow, tackling the triggers and underlying causes for these issues, as well as the addiction itself.

Mental health conditions, such as depression, anxiety and stress, can have a devastating impact on your psychological, emotional and physical health, and can significantly impair your ability to function effectively on a daily basis. Our mental health treatment specialists at Priory Hospital Glasgow understand that without timely, effective and professional help, mental health conditions can worsen over time, leading to a broad range of long-term, negative consequences including problems at work and in personal relationships, and can even result in the development of co-occurring mental health problems.

Glasgow’s general acute mental health treatment programme provides established, evidence-based treatment for a wide range of mental health conditions. At Glasgow, we get to know our staff and patients on a meaningful and personal level, allowing us to allocate the most appropriate team member to each of our patients, and tailor treatment according to their unique requirements.

If you think that you or someone that you know is suffering from a mental health condition, it is important to recognise that you don’t have to struggle on your own; effective, professional help is available. At Glasgow, we provide our patients with every resource that they need, as well as a safe and highly supportive environment, empowering you to address your mental health concerns and achieve long-lasting recovery.

Choosing to self-fund

There are many reasons why people choose to pay to receive expert and dedicated private treatment at Priory Hospital Glasgow. It may be because local NHS providers have long waiting times and insufficient capacity, or do not offer the specific mental health/addiction treatment that you need. Alternatively, you may simply prefer the peace of mind of receiving specialist care and rapid access to established treatment, from the UK’s leading independent provider of mental healthcare and addiction services.

At Glasgow, we are able to book appointments at a time that is convenient for you, with the guarantee that we can deliver the best care with the most positive outcomes. For more information on how to commence with expert treatment, contact us today via email or by calling: 0141 636 6116.

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 undergoing treatment with Priory, so please check this with your provider. We will need you to provide your insurance policy details at the time of booking your initial consultation, so that pre-authorisation may be agreed with the insurance provider. In addition, different policies cover different levels of care, so for any queries, it is advisable to contact your insurer, or our dedicated admissions team on: 0141 636 6116, who will be delighted to assist you with any questions that you may have.
