This independent London rehab centre specialises in treating patients with a wide range of mental health issues including addictions. We have established a world-wide reputation for providing the highest standards of care together with an extensive range of medial services. The hospital is accredited by the Royal College of Psychiatrists and the Royal College of General Practitioners.

Our specialist addiction unit offers treatment for people whose lives are being damaged by the compulsive use of alcohol, illegal or prescribed drugs, food, gambling, shopping, sex or any other substance or behaviour which provides instant mood changes or avoidance of reality.

The programme is delivered by an experienced multidisciplinary team consisting of Consultant Psychiatrists, accredited addiction therapists, psychotherapists, nurses, trained “interventionists”, cognitive behavioural therapists, family therapists, a movement teacher, yoga teacher, physical exercise instructors, shiatsu practitioner, an eating disorder counsellor and a social worker.

Programme Overview

We offer a dedicated service for substance and behavioural dependency and a flexible range of programmes designed to meet patients' needs and lifestyles. Treatment is normally on an inpatient basis, typically lasting four to six weeks. A more flexible programme involving day care and outpatient treatment is also available.

We also offer a family programme including a three-day family workshop, family liaison counsellor, family intervention service, family aftercare groups and an outpatient therapy service for family members.

The aims of the programme are to help patients overcome their behavioural problems by learning about the destructive nature of substance abuse, exploring their emotional characteristics, realizing the benefits of a solid recovery programme and the need to bring about emotional change.
