Affordable Treatment – Getting Help Without the Wait

You’ve indicated you’d like to explore the most affordable options. We understand — and we want to help you find a path that works, both practically and financially.

The reality of free treatment

Community drug and alcohol services are available through local authorities (often run by charities like Turning Point, Change Grow Live, or We Are With You). These services can provide:

• Assessment and advice – usually within 1-2 weeks of referral
• Structured counselling – group or individual, usually CBT-based
• Community detox – medically supervised reduction at home, managed alongside the local service
• Residential rehab – available through local authority funding in some cases

What you need to know about waiting times

While these services exist, the reality is that waiting times are typically  3-6+ months for structured treatment, and local authority funding for residential rehab is increasingly difficult to secure. For someone who needs help now, that wait can be the difference between recovery and crisis.

How we can help you get treatment faster

We work with people in your position every day. Private treatment is more accessible than many people realise:

• Medically supervised home detox from £1,500 – a doctor and nurse team manage your detox at home over 7–10 days, with medication, daily check-ins, and 24/7 phone support.
• Standard residential rehab from £3,000 – £6,000 for 28 days – a full programme including medically supervised detox, group therapy, individual counselling, relapse prevention, and aftercare. Accommodation and meals included.
• Flexible payment options – many of the clinics we work with offer payment plans to spread the cost.

We can often arrange admission within 24-48 hours – no waiting lists, no funding applications, no bureaucratic delays.

But if you’d like to explore what’s possible within your budget right now, we’d recommend a quick call. There’s no obligation, and we can often find options people didn’t know existed.
