Who Priory suits
A good fit if
- Dual diagnosis — consultant psychiatry is on site, not visiting
- People using private medical insurance, where Priory is usually in-network
- Complex alcohol detox needing hospital-grade medical cover
Look elsewhere if
- Self-funders on a tight budget — the same 28 days costs around half at a mid-market clinic
- People who want a small, homely house rather than a hospital setting

Common questions
How much does Priory cost?
A 28-day residential programme at Priory sits in the £12,000–£20,000 range, with detox-only stays around £4,500–£8,000. Priory is positioned as premium in the UK market. These are market ranges, not a quote — the clinic sets the final price after assessment.
How much is Priory per week?
Working back from the 28-day range, Priory costs roughly £3,000–£5,000 a week. Most clinics price by programme rather than by week, so a one or two week stay usually costs more per week than a full month, and the first week carries the detox and medical assessment.
Is Priory covered by private health insurance?
Priory is commonly used by insured clients, and premium providers are more likely to be in-network with Bupa, AXA, Aviva and Vitality. Cover is subject to assessment, policy terms and any addiction exclusion, so confirm with your insurer before you commit.
Who is Priory a good fit for?
Dual diagnosis — consultant psychiatry is on site, not visiting. People using private medical insurance, where Priory is usually in-network. Complex alcohol detox needing hospital-grade medical cover.
Are there cheaper alternatives to Priory?
Yes. A mid-market CQC-registered clinic delivers a comparable 28-day abstinence programme for roughly half the price. The trade-off is accommodation, staff ratio and on-site psychiatry rather than the core clinical model.
How quickly can I be admitted to Priory?
Private residential admission in the UK is usually possible within 24 to 72 hours once an assessment is done and funding is confirmed. Availability moves week to week, which is why it is worth holding two options rather than one.
