Common questions
How much does UKAT cost?
A 28-day residential programme at UKAT sits in the £5,000–£12,000 range, with detox-only stays around £2,500–£5,000. UKAT is positioned as mid-market in the UK market. These are market ranges, not a quote — the clinic sets the final price after assessment.
How much is UKAT per week?
Working back from the 28-day range, UKAT costs roughly £1,250–£3,000 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 UKAT covered by private health insurance?
Mid-market clinics like UKAT are more often paid for privately than through insurance, though some policies will fund a stay. Check network status with your insurer first — it is the single biggest factor in what you actually pay.
Who is UKAT a good fit for?
Self-funders who want a full 28-day residential programme without premium pricing. 12-step based treatment with a strong peer group. Fast admission — group capacity means a bed is usually available within days.
Are there cheaper alternatives to UKAT?
UKAT is already at the affordable end of private treatment. Below it, the realistic options are NHS community treatment (free), a shorter detox-only admission, or intensive outpatient therapy rather than a cheaper residential clinic.
How quickly can I be admitted to UKAT?
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.
