Priory Hospital Hayes Grove

We are able to provide established treatment for a wide range of conditions, including:

Specialised mental health treatment at Hayes Grove

Mental health conditions, such as depression, anxiety and stress, can have a hugely detrimental impact on your health and wellbeing, general quality of life, as well as how you think, feel, act and function on a daily basis. Without effective professional help, mental health difficulties can become worse over time, and can lead to a range of devastating long-term consequences including problems at work, relationship breakdowns, enduring physical and psychological health issues, and may even lead to the development of further mental health conditions.

At Hayes Grove, our highly qualified mental health treatment specialists are committed to delivering expert treatment for a wide range of psychiatric conditions. All treatment programmes are individually tailored according to the unique needs of each patient, ensuring that positive outcomes and personalised recovery are achieved for all those who seek support with us.

If you or someone that you know is struggling with a mental health problem, it is important to know that you don’t have to suffer on your own; effective, expert treatment is available. At Hayes Grove, our outpatient, day care and residential patients are supported to tackle their mental health challenges and are provided with every resource that they need to return to a positive way of life.

At Hayes Grove, we are able to deliver established treatment for a wide range of addictions, including alcohol and drug addictions, as well as a series of broader behavioural addictions such as gambling, love and sex, internet and shopping addictions. Our experts understand that all forms of addiction can have a profoundly negative effect on all aspects of your life, as well as your general health and wellbeing. Without specialist treatment, addictions and addictive behaviours may become progressively worse over time, and lead to a whole host of long-term physical and psychological problems.

Hayes Grove’s Addiction Treatment Programme is guided by the well-known 12-Step addiction treatment model, which combines abstinence with an individual’s motivation to change. Our personalised approach places you at the centre of the addiction treatment and rehabilitation journey and ensures that you are involved in all decisions that are made about your care, resulting in the best outcomes for you as an individual. We also make sure that we involve patients’ families and partners in the addiction treatment process, as we recognise that recovery is most successful with the support of those within the patients’ home environment.

Our addiction rehabilitation and treatment programme includes:

• Free, no obligation addiction assessment, to assess your appropriateness and readiness for the therapy programme - book your appointment today
• Comprehensive consultant and nursing assessment prior to admission, to ensure that you are safe and fully supported throughout this process
• 7-day medically assisted withdrawal detoxification for alcohol and drug addictions, if required
• 1:1 and group therapy
• A family/couples programme
• Both on and off-site 12-Step support groups
• Free aftercare for 12 months
• Free family support for 12 months

All therapy delivered as part of Hayes Grove’s Addiction Treatment Programme is consultant-led, with full support from our expert addiction therapists and dedicated peer supporters. During therapy sessions, the underlying reasons for your addictive behaviours will be explored, and we are also able to treat co-occurring trauma, dual diagnoses and multiple presenting issues.

For further information on how Hayes Grove can empower you to achieve a full and lasting recovery from your addiction, please view our brochure.
