Flexible online addiction treatment & mental health support

this is for people who want to start treatment from home. Sessions are delivered by qualified therapists and recovery coaches. We also help support any co-occurring mental health conditions during your treatment.

This is designed for people who’ve completed a residential programme and are returning to everyday life. It provides ongoing online therapy to help maintain your recovery.

This is built around people looking for dedicated mental health support. Within the Castle Health network, Dr Peter McCann, MBBS, MSC, MRCPsych, Private Consultant Psychiatrist, offers assessments, treatment (including medication management) and treatment referrals online.

Online therapy focuses on the root causes of addiction, not just the symptoms. Across your sessions, you can expect to work on:

• Building coping strategies for difficult emotions and situations
• Managing cravings using approaches such as mindfulness-based CBT
• Identifying triggers and stressors that contribute to your substance use or compulsive behaviours
• Addressing any co-occurring mental health conditions alongside addiction
• Supporting loved ones, who’ll have space to talk about how addiction has affected them and what comes next

Online addiction therapy is available to people over the age of 16 who don’t need to stay in residential rehab.

This might be a good option if any of the following apply to you:

• You have work, family, or caregiving responsibilities that make it hard to attend in-person treatment.
• You want a more private or discreet way to get support.
• You’re getting back to your daily routine after staying in residential rehab.
• Health or mobility issues make it difficult to travel
• You feel nervous about starting therapy and would prefer to begin from the comfort of your own home.

Sessions involve meeting with your therapist and recovery coach for treatment. The relationship you build with your therapist matters. Online sessions give you the same space to be honest, open, and supported as any other form of therapy.

You’ll be able to share any problems or urges you’re having, and explore what’s working and what isn’t. You’ll learn practical tools to help you manage your recovery at home.

Recovery does not stop when you leave residential treatment. Castle Health’s online aftercare programme keeps professional support in place as you return to everyday life.

Once you complete a residential programme, you’ll have access to online sessions with therapists, psychiatrists, and recovery coaches. Your plan is arranged before you leave, so support is ready when you need it.

If you were treated for a co-occurring condition like anxiety or depression, aftercare can include continued mental health support. Where more specialist care is needed, we’ll connect you with the right treatment provider once your aftercare ends.

Your first conversation is confidential. We take time to understand your situation, your goals, and any challenges you are facing. From there, we create a personalised therapy plan which is adjusted as you progress. If you have just finished residential treatment, your plan is arranged before you leave.

You’ll have private sessions with a qualified therapist or recovery coach. It’s a space to talk openly about your experiences, feelings, and habits, without judgement.

Online sessions can be combined with in-person appointments if that works better for you. Face-to-face options are available in the UK, Ireland, Finland, Sweden at Stockholms Beroendeklinik, and the Netherlands at Castle Craig Nederland.

Online treatment is available if you live in the UK, Ireland, Sweden, the Netherlands, Finland, Romania, Norway, Malta, or Belgium.

We use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed therapy, and 12 Step facilitation. We also help you connect with others who are going through a similar experience.

For many people, online addiction treatment programmes for drug or alcohol addiction can be effective for mild to moderate addiction. You’ll still receive evidence-based treatment in a setting that is comfortable to you.

Therapies work differently for everyone. Effective online addiction treatment often combines talking therapies like CBT or DBT with other evidence-based approaches. CBT in particular can help you identify thinking patterns that contribute to addictive behaviour and develop practical strategies to manage them.

We believe recovery should revolve around you as an individual, so you can personalise your treatment schedule. It’s common to start online and transition to face-to-face sessions later.

We provide online alcohol addiction treatment to people with mild to moderate addiction across the country. When you’re ready to learn more, call us, and we’ll explain how our UK online therapy works.

Online opioid addiction treatment can work well in some cases. Severe withdrawal symptoms or a long-term addiction may require the closer support of inpatient care.
