How to Fund Private Rehab at Castle Craig
“How much does rehab cost?” and “How can I pay for rehab myself?” are two of the most frequently asked questions from people considering how to pay for drug or alcohol treatment.
At Castle Craig, we are committed to making high-quality drug and alcohol addiction treatment accessible and will assist you in exploring the best payment option to suit your circumstances. Our payment methods include self-funding, private health insurance coverage, and NHS-funded spaces.
Paying Privately for Drug and Alcohol Rehab
One of the main advantages of self-funding rehab is immediate access to treatment without the delays sometimes associated with insurance or NHS waiting lists. This means patients can start their recovery journey as soon as they’ve completed the admissions process. Additionally, paying privately ensures you are not limited by insurance coverage constraints, allowing you to complete your treatment in your own time.
For private-paying patients, we provide a straightforward process that allows for quick admission, usually within 24 hours, making it an efficient choice for those who seek immediate assistance.

Paying for Your Drug or Alcohol Treatment
At Castle Craig, we understand the urgency required when a loved one finally decides that they want treatment, so we aim to ensure that your experience is as seamless and stress-free as possible.
Below is a step-by-step guide to help you navigate the payment process.

1. Initial Contact with Our Admissions Team
The first step is to call our admissions team. During this call, they will ask you some questions about your addiction and take you through the pre-admission assessment. There is no obligation at this stage but it is a good opportunity to find out about payment options.

2. Pre-Admission Screening
We run through a 20 minute questionnaire with all patients as part of our admissions process. This gives us more information about your mental health, your physical health and addiction history. We also request details of your medical history from your GP/family doctor so that we can assess where we feel your needs lie most. If contacting your GP is not feasible, we’ll help find an alternative way to obtain the information we need.

Receiving Pre-Admission Information
Following your initial assessment, we will send you a comprehensive pre-admissions information pack. This will contain all the important details about our treatment process, what to expect, and how you can prepare. Our team will also discuss and help arrange your transport to the facility.

Communication with Your Doctor
We will send a letter to your GP/doctor to inform them that you are at Castle Craig for addiction treatment. In circumstances where additional medical information is needed, especially for complex cases, our consultant psychiatrist or another clinician may reach out to your GP for further details.
How Much Does Rehab Cost?
