Compassionate Care in Remarkable Settings
When it comes to private rehab centres in the UK, the environment you choose can be just as important as the treatment itself. At UKAT (UK Addiction Treatment Centres), we’ve spent over a decade shaping our private rehab centres into places of refuge, resilience, and real transformation.
With eight CQC-regulated treatment centres strategically located across England, we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to recovery. Each of our private rehab centres in the UK has its own personality, specialisms, and atmosphere, because every person’s journey to sobriety is different. Some people need peace and privacy. Others thrive in a strong community setting. Some are navigating the complexities of co-occurring mental health or eating disorders. Wherever you are in your life, there’s a UKAT clinic built to meet you there—and walk with you toward a new beginning.
Here’s a breakdown of our rehab centres and what you can expect from them:
Sanctuary Lodge- Halsted, Essex
An elevated rehab experience, where comfort meets clinical excellence
Set in the picturesque countryside of Essex, Sanctuary Lodge is a purpose-built facility that feels more like a retreat than a clinic. With 24 en-suite bedrooms, private therapy rooms, a gym, and holistic therapy spaces, this centre is designed to restore dignity and peace to those who have lost themselves in addiction.
But it’s not just about facilities, it’s about feeling safe and respected. Here, clients experience a structured, 12-step-based addiction recovery programme combined with cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), meditation, and person-centred counselling. Sanctuary Lodge offers calm without compromise for those who have spent too long in chaos.
Banbury Lodge – Banbury, Oxfordshire
Specialist rehab for young adults and eating disorders
Banbury Lodge offers something truly unique within the UK: a specialist addiction and eating disorder clinic that accepts individuals as young as 16. Adolescents and adults alike receive tailored treatment from clinicians trained specifically in dual-diagnosis therapy, ensuring both the addiction and underlying causes, such as anxiety, trauma, or body image issues, are treated with sensitivity and skill.
The setting is warm and contemporary, intentionally designed to feel like home. With private rooms, communal areas that encourage connection, and discreet clinical care, Banbury Lodge is a lifeline for individuals and families who may have struggled to find the right support elsewhere.
Recovery Lighthouse – Worthing, West Sussex
A community-centred drug and alcohol rehab by the sea
If you believe that the environment can heal, then Recovery Lighthouse may be the ideal starting point. Located just a few minutes from the seafront in sunny Worthing, this centre marries clinical excellence with the rejuvenating power of sea air and natural light.
It’s known for its warm community feel and strong group culture. Daily schedules are clear and purposeful, and the small team of therapists ensures each client is treated as a person, not a number. Recovery Lighthouse is particularly well-suited to those who thrive on peer support, consistency, and shared experiences.
Primrose Lodge – Guildford, Surrey
Comprehensive addiction treatment near London
Just a stone’s throw from London but a world away from its stress, Primrose Lodge offers a serene and highly structured rehabilitation programme in a modern and inviting facility. The centre combines evidence-based therapy with holistic practices like mindfulness, yoga, and physical fitness to address the whole person, mind, body, and spirit.
Whether you’re a working professional looking for privacy or someone seeking a nurturing but disciplined setting, Primrose Lodge offers both, with all the warmth of a home and the professionalism of a CQC-regulated private addiction clinic.
Liberty House – Luton, Bedfordshire
Accessible and affordable rehab centre in Luton
For many, affordability can feel like a barrier to quality treatment. Liberty House challenges that notion head-on. Set in a quiet residential area of Luton, this centre offers structured, effective rehab programmes at a more accessible price point without compromising on care.
The community is strong and recovery-focused, guided by experienced therapists and recovery staff, many of whom are in long-term recovery themselves. With an emphasis on accountability, daily routine, and future planning, Liberty House is the perfect place for those ready to rebuild, step by step.
Oasis Bradford – Bradford, West Yorkshire
Leading detox clinic in the North of England
Detox can be daunting, especially when there are multiple substances involved. Oasis Bradford is one of the UK’s leading centres for complex medical detox, with an expert team of nurses and doctors managing the most challenging cases safely and compassionately.
But recovery doesn’t stop at detox. Oasis Bradford also provides access to holistic therapies, like vibration therapy, meditation, and art therapy, to support emotional healing and set the stage for long-term recovery. The setting is calm, clinical, and deeply reassuring for those who need stability above all else.
Oasis Runcorn – Runcorn, Cheshire
Strength-based recovery model in an urban rehab setting
Oasis Runcorn offers a dual recovery model: clients can choose between the traditional 12-step programme or the innovative Strengths Model of Recovery, which focuses on resilience, self-belief, and future planning. This flexibility is ideal for those who may not resonate with the spiritual components of 12-step work.
With large, welcoming communal areas and a strong culture of connection, Oasis Runcorn is particularly well-suited to those who value a sense of shared purpose and collective growth. The setting is urban and accessible, yet the atmosphere inside is transformative.
Linwood House – Barnsley, South Yorkshire
No-frills, high-impact rehab in South Yorkshire
At Linwood House, it’s all about completing the work with compassion, clarity, and consistency. This is a centre built for focus and results. Set in a quiet part of Barnsley, it offers inpatient treatment for those ready to fully commit to sobriety.
The clinical team brings decades of combined experience, and while the setting is modest, the outcomes are powerful. Linwood House does not accommodate couples in rehab together, ensuring the environment remains focused and free from distractions. For those serious about change, it’s a setting that doesn’t let anything get in the way of progress.
