If you or a loved one are suffering from alcohol addiction, you may be looking at rehab centres and detox programmes in the UK. While there are NHS rehab centres, the majority don’t offer inpatient treatment, which has the highest success rates compared to outpatient rehab.
For this reason, private rehab is often the best option for many. You might be wondering how much exactly private alcohol rehab costs and this will depend on a few different factors. Here, we round up everything there is to know about rehab and its prices and help you to weigh up your options.
The total cost of addiction recovery treatment will depend on whether you’re treated as an outpatient or inpatient, how long you stay at the treatment centre for, whether a detox is required and what types of therapy you need.
At Nova Recovery, a private hospital in Scotland that specialises in treatment for stress-related mental health illness and alcohol dependency, prices start at £1,900.
Inpatient rehabilitation costs more because you’ll be receiving treatment as well as facilities, meals and a room. While the price is higher compared to outpatient treatment, many experts believe inpatient recovery offers a higher success rate. This is because individuals can focus fully on their recovery and are away from familiar temptation and distraction.
The cost of treatment should never get in the way of someone’s recovery which is why it’s important to talk to someone if your financial situation is the only thing stopping you from going to rehab.

If your preferred treatment type is inpatient rehabilitation, you might be concerned about the amount of money required. At Nova Recovery, we simply ask for a deposit to secure your room and then the full balance on a specific date which will be agreed upon with you. Your friends and family may be able to help with the costs so you could consider reaching out to them too.
Alternatively, if you have private medical insurance, you may be able to pay for rehab by using this. Each insurance policy and provider will be different though so it’s important to check your own cover and speak to them directly.
Rehab treatment is currently available on the NHS but usually as an outpatient only. For inpatient treatment, which typically has the highest rates of long-term recovery, it can be very difficult to get this on the NHS as a result of ongoing funding issues.
Therefore, if you’ve decided that inpatient rehab is the best choice for you, it’s likely that you’ll have to find a private rehab centre and pay for the treatment yourself. Another benefit of choosing a private inpatient treatment centre is that the waiting lists can be shorter and the facilities can be better.
That’s not to say that outpatient treatment isn’t successful. If you can’t afford rehab, but are still determined to live a life away from addiction, then outpatient rehab is still a great option. To start your journey, you’ll need to book an appointment with your GP who will talk you through the process of detoxing and provide details on any support groups.
It’s worth bearing in mind that those who have struggled with addiction for many years, as well as associated mental health concerns, may require more serious and specialist treatment though.

So what are you waiting for?
Begin your journeyOne of the biggest decisions you have to make regarding rehab is whether to attend on an inpatient or outpatient basis. As an outpatient, you’d receive treatment in the day and then return home in the evening.
As an inpatient, you’d stay overnight at the facility and have your meals taken care of. Only you can make the decision and it’s got to be right for you. If you choose inpatient treatment, however, you would have to stay at the dedicated rehab centre.
One of the biggest advantages of inpatient rehab is that individuals are provided with 24/7 support and care. During the day, you’ll join various therapy and counselling sessions in group and private settings. Then, in the evenings and when you don’t have any therapy, you can enjoy the facilities as well as well-being and holistic activities which help you to create a happier, healthier and stronger lifestyle.
As well as this, you’ll be provided with your own room, and all food, and there are often additional services available such as laundry and beauty. The idea is that, as an inpatient, everything is taken care of so you can just focus on getting better.
Another reason which makes inpatient treatment so successful is that individuals are supported through a medically-safe detox. Detox is when the substance leaves an individual’s body and is essential for any treatment and therapy to start.
While many people think a detox can be completed on your own, at home, it can be very dangerous and difficult. With a team of medical professionals by your side, detoxing in rehab means you’ll be monitored and prescribed medication to help with side effects and withdrawal symptoms.
You’ll also be provided aftercare and relapse prevention advice which is essential for long-term recovery. Many people think their journey comes to an end once rehab has finished but, the truth is, it’s just starting. The team at Nova Recovery will give you everything you need to avoid relapse and we’ll always be on hand for advice.
Whether for yourself or a loved one, our private hospital in Scotland is a great option if you’re looking for specialist addiction recovery treatment.
With a team of medical professionals and a programme of therapies proven to support recovery, as well as homely and comfortable inpatient accommodation, we offer a safe and supportive environment for everyone.
