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
