Services
Addictions we treat
Our addiction treatment centres support people dealing with alcohol addiction, drug dependency, gambling, gaming, and a range of other behavioural addictions.
I’m 5 years sober now and I know I wouldn’t have survived another month before I joined the treatment programme. Castle Craig is an amazingly special place where miracles really do happen, I’m blessed to have found you.
What is addiction treatment?
Addiction treatment is medical and therapeutic support for the whole person. It covers both your physical health and your emotional wellbeing, giving you structured care at a point when substance use or harmful behaviours have started to become unmanageable.
It also permits access to a team that has walked alongside people through every stage of recovery. Family therapy is also available, helping the people closest to you understand what you are going through and how to support your recovery.
Treatment starts with a confidential assessment. This gives our clinical team a chance to learn about your situation, including your medical history and relationship with any substances. We then use that information to build a personalised treatment plan around your wants and needs.Â
This may include a medically managed detox if needed, followed by therapy that looks at what has been driving the substance use and how to manage it going forward.
Many people living with substance dependencies also live with mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, or trauma. Our approach treats both at the same time.
What are the types of addiction treatment available?
The level of support you need will be different from person to person, which is why Castle Health offers rehab addiction treatment across a range of formats.
Residential therapy in rehab
Residential rehab treatment means staying at a treatment centre, usually for between four and 12 weeks. It may include a medically managed detox at the start, followed by individual and group therapy, mental health support, and planning for life after treatment.
A typical day is built around your recovery, with therapy sessions, group work, regular meals, and time outdoors.
Medically managed detox
Detox clears the way for the therapeutic work that follows, and for many people, treatment begins with detox. At Castle Health, this is managed by doctors and nurses around the clock, monitoring your health and keeping you as comfortable as possible during withdrawal.
Outpatient therapy
Outpatient treatment means attending therapy while continuing to live at home. It works well if you feel your home life is stable and you don’t need round-the-clock support.Â
Sessions cover therapy, recovery planning, and regular check-ins, built around your existing commitments. It can also work well after a period of residential care.Â
Online therapy
Online therapy gives you access to professional support wherever you are. It includes remote assessments, virtual therapy sessions, and ongoing care. It’s a good option for people who cannot attend in person because of work, location, or family commitments. It can also help you keep up momentum after residential or outpatient treatment.

Frequently asked questions about addiction treatment
What’s the difference between inpatient and outpatient addiction treatment?
Inpatient treatment means staying at a residential centre where you get care and support every day. Outpatient treatment means going to therapy while living at home. The right choice depends on your health, your home situation, and how much support you need.
What is holistic addiction treatment?
Holistic addiction treatment means care that looks at the whole person, not just the substance use. At Castle Health, this includes support for your emotional wellbeing, mental health, relationships, and physical health. The aim is to address everything that plays a role in your recovery.
Are there NHS options for addiction treatment?
Yes. The NHS does offer addiction treatment, but waiting times and availability vary depending on where you live. Some people choose private treatment to avoid long waits or to access more intensive support. If you have health insurance, your policy may cover some or all of the cost.
What should I look for in an addiction treatment centre?
Look for a treatment facility for addiction that has qualified medical staff, a clear assessment process, detox support if needed, and the right therapy options for your situation. It is also worth checking that the centre is regulated by a recognised body and is open about what treatment involves.
