Transform 28
Transform 28 is Priory’s most comprehensive inpatient addiction treatment programme.
At Priory, we offer this structured 28-day programme to help you take meaningful steps towards recovery in a safe and supportive environment. You’ll receive a medically assisted detox, if needed, and take part in regular one-to-one and group therapy sessions. You’ll also be supported by a consultant psychiatrist and have access to a range of holistic wellbeing activities, while you’re with us, designed to support both your mental and physical health.
We also provide family support throughout your stay, and once you leave, you’ll benefit from 12 months of free aftercare to help you maintain your progress and stay connected.
Reset 7/10
Reset 7/10 is Priory’s medically assisted detox programme.
Taking place over 7 to 10 days, depending on your individual needs, this inpatient programme is designed to help you safely withdraw from alcohol or drugs, with specialist support to manage withdrawal symptoms and keep you as comfortable as possible.
At Priory, detox takes place in a dedicated, therapeutic environment under the care of our experienced team. You'll receive continuous monitoring and personalised care to support your physical and emotional wellbeing throughout.
This focused, short-term stay helps to stabilise your health and prepare you for the next stage of your recovery.
Anchor 1:1
Anchor 1:1 is Priory’s flexible outpatient addiction therapy programme.
At Priory, we offer one-to-one outpatient therapy sessions designed to help you manage the thoughts, emotions and behaviours linked to addiction. This personalised support gives you the space to explore challenges, build healthy coping strategies and work towards long-term recovery.
Sessions are usually delivered once a week and can take place either online or face-to-face – depending on what works best for you. With a format that fits around your life, Anchor 1:1 is ideal for people seeking ongoing support without a residential stay, or for anyone stepping down from more intensive treatment who would benefit from continued therapeutic input.
