How this fits your options

Residential rehab means you stay on-site for the duration of treatment — typically 28 days for a standard programme, longer for complex dependence. Medical detox is done under supervision, with 24/7 nursing cover, and is followed by structured therapy (CBT, group work, relapse prevention) before you transition to aftercare. Private residential admissions can usually happen inside 48–72 hours; the NHS route via your local drug and alcohol team is free but involves an assessment period first.

We don't rank clinics or take commissions to promote any single provider — we refer based on clinical fit and availability. If you want us to help you weigh The Lighthouse against the NHS route or another CQC-regulated option, use the form below.
