How to access treatment

A FREE initial assessment with a therapist is available at all Priory Hospitals (within 48 hours) for anyone seeking help to discuss the extent of their problem and their suitability for treatment. To book a free assessment, click here.

To ensure continuity of care we advise patients to obtain a letter of referral from their GP; however, we do accept self-referrals. In cases of emergency, admissions are accepted 24 hours a day and a consultant and registrar are on call at all times.

The hospital is recognised by all major private medical insurers and provident associations. For those who wish to fund their own treatment, please contact your local Priory Hospital for details of current prices.

For further information on accessing treatment please call 0845 4 PRIORY (0845 4779679) or contact your local Priory Hospital. Click here for details.

NHS referrals
We routinely accept patients who are referred to us from the NHS and we are extremely committed to working closely with colleagues from other agencies who may already be involved in an individual’s care.   For further information on NHS funding, you would need to contact your GP or local NHS addictions team.  We cannot guarantee that funding will be available within your particular area.

How Priory Hospitals Can Help:
Once a FREE initial assessment has been carried out by an addictions therapist an individual plan is then tailored to the specific needs of the individual by a highly experienced multi-disciplinary team of consultant psychiatrists, therapists and clinical staff. The addiction treatment programme is delivered using a 12 step abstinence-based therapeutic model.

• Dual-diagnosis (addictions and mental health problems, e.g. depression, anxiety, and PTSD).
