Who We’re For
If you’re reading this at this hour, you already know.
Most people who call us are still working, still earning, still holding the family together. Nothing has fallen apart on the outside. The drinking, the cocaine, the ketamine has just started running them in a way that didn’t used to be true. The thing that started as a way to switch off, take the edge off, manage the week, has stopped being something you choose and started being something you have to do.
We’re a referral service that places people into CQC-registered private residential rehab clinics across the UK. We don’t run the clinics. We do the work of finding the right one for you, talking through what’s involved, and getting you in fast. The first call costs nothing and nothing leaves it without your say-so.
What We Cover
Three substances. Same approach.
We work specifically with people whose lives haven’t fallen apart yet. Functioning, working, often hiding it. The pattern is different for each substance, but the route into help is the same.
Alcohol Rehab
For when the drink that used to take the edge off the day is now running it. Alcohol withdrawal carries real medical risk and stopping at home is rarely safe past a certain point. We arrange supervised detox and full residential treatment, fast.

Cocaine Rehab
For the working professional who started using socially and has watched it become something else. Most cocaine callers are still earning, still functioning. Residential rehab tackles the dependency, the patterns, and the environment that’s been quietly enabling it.
Cocaine rehab options →
Ketamine Rehab
Ketamine moves from recreational to daily faster than people expect. The bladder issues, the dissociation, the K-holes that don’t feel optional any more. Residential treatment is the cleanest way to break the pattern and get clear of the physical effects.
Ketamine rehab options →If you’re at the point of looking this up, you’re past the point where waiting helps.

Why Private Rehab Direct.
There’s a real difference between calling a free national helpline and calling us. The free routes have their place, and we’ll always tell you about them honestly. But for someone who needs a clinical detox or a residential placement and needs it inside the next few days, the private system is faster, more discreet, and more clinically intensive than what’s available through community services. We exist to take the friction out of accessing it.
Every clinic we work with is CQC-registered, every detox is medically supervised, every aftercare plan travels home with you. The conversation with us is free, the matching is free, the guidance is free. The clinics pay us, not you. That model only works if we send people to clinics where they actually do well, so that’s the only kind we work with.
Admission within 24 to 48 hours
No NHS-style waiting list. Most people are admitted within two days of their first call, often the same day if it needs to happen that fast.
Medically supervised detox
Round-the-clock clinical management of withdrawal in every clinic we use. Particularly important for alcohol, where stopping alone can be medically dangerous.
Confidential, always
Nothing leaves the conversation without your decision. Employer, GP, family, none of them are contacted unless you choose to.
The Process
How it actually works, start to finish.
If you’ve never called a service like this before, the not-knowing is what stops most people picking up the phone. The process is calmer than people expect. It starts with a conversation, and from there every step is mapped out.
A confidential first call
A real person picks up. Every member of our team is in recovery from addiction themselves. No script, no pressure. Just a careful conversation about what’s going on and what the safest next step looks like.
Matching you to the right clinic
We walk you through what residential treatment involves, how soon you can be admitted, what programme length suits you, and what it’ll cost. Clear options, clear figures. The decision is yours.
Admission and supervised detox
From the moment you arrive, the medical team takes over. Detox is run with prescribed medication and continuous monitoring so the worst of the withdrawal is properly managed. You won’t be navigating it alone for one second.
Therapy, recovery, aftercare
Once the physical detox has settled, the therapeutic work begins in earnest. One-to-one sessions, structured group work, and a written aftercare plan that you take home so the support continues for the months after the clinic.
What It Costs
Honest figures, no surprises.
Private residential rehab generally starts from around £2,000 to £4,000 for a seven-day programme, with medically supervised detox built in. A 14-day programme is typically £4,000 to £8,000. A full 28-day residential stay is typically £7,000 to £15,000 depending on the clinic. Detox is always part of the programme, never charged on top.
Several of the clinics we work with accept major UK private health insurance including AXA and Bupa. When you call, tell us your insurer and we’ll check what’s covered before any decision needs making. If you’re self-funding, payment plans are available with several of the clinics we use.
Common Questions
What people ask before they call.
Plain answers to the questions we get most often. If yours isn’t here, ring us and we’ll talk it through.
Is the service really free, or is there a catch?
It’s genuinely free to you. The clinics pay us a referral fee, not you…
Read moreThe model is straightforward. We’re funded by the clinics we refer to, not by the people we help. That means the conversation, the matching, the guidance is all free at your end. You only pay for the rehab itself, which is the same price whether you came through us or went to the clinic directly. The reason clinics pay us is that we save them the work of pre-screening callers and matching cases to the right programme. The model only works long-term if we send people to clinics that genuinely deliver, so that’s the only kind of clinic we work with.
How fast can you actually get me into a clinic?
Usually within 24 to 48 hours, often the same day if it has to be…
Read moreMost placements happen within 24 to 48 hours of the first call. There’s no NHS-style waiting list. If today is the day you’ve decided, today can realistically be the day you’re admitted, particularly for alcohol where the medical urgency is higher. The bottleneck is usually paperwork and travel logistics, not bed availability. Tell us how fast you need to move and we’ll work to that.
What’s the difference between private rehab and NHS or community services?
Speed, intensity, environment, and whether a residential detox is included…
Read moreNHS and community services are valuable and we’ll always tell you about them honestly. The differences come down to four things. Speed: NHS waiting lists for residential treatment can run into months, private is usually 24 to 48 hours. Intensity: outpatient services typically offer weekly sessions, residential offers daily one-to-one and group therapy plus 24/7 clinical support. Environment: free services keep you in the same setting where the using has been happening, residential removes you from that environment entirely. Detox: free services rarely include a clinically supervised detox in a residential setting, which for alcohol particularly is the difference between a detox that holds and one that doesn’t.
Will my employer or GP find out?
Not unless you choose to involve them. Private treatment sits outside the NHS record entirely…
Read morePrivate treatment is outside the NHS record system. Nothing goes to your GP automatically. For employers, you don’t have to disclose the reason for a medical absence. Most callers use a combination of annual leave and a GP fit note that simply states they’re medically unfit for work, with no detail. The clinic doesn’t contact your employer and we don’t either, without your written consent. If you’re in a regulated profession with specific reporting obligations, that’s worth checking, but for most people in employment, full discretion is achievable.
I’m not sure I’m “bad enough” for rehab. How do I know?
The misconception is that rehab is for people at rock bottom. The reality is the opposite…
Read moreThe people who get the best outcomes from residential treatment are the ones who go before they’ve lost everything, while the body and the life are still in a recoverable state. If your drinking, cocaine use or ketamine use has stopped being something you can switch off, you qualify. The clinics aren’t measuring you against a tabloid version of an addict, they’re treating dependency, which develops in functioning people all the time. The honest test isn’t how bad it looks, it’s whether you can stop when you decide to. If you can’t reliably do that, that’s information.
Where are your clinics? Do you cover the whole UK?
Yes, UK-wide. We work with CQC-registered clinics across England, Scotland and Wales…
Read moreWe have CQC-registered clinics across the UK, in city locations and quieter rural settings. When we match you to a clinic we look at your situation, your timeline, your budget and what’s right for the recovery rather than what’s geographically closest. For most people, going somewhere outside their immediate area is therapeutically useful because it removes the cues and routines tied to using. Tell us what’s negotiable when you call and we’ll build the recommendation around that.
How We Work
A referral service, not a treatment provider.
Private Rehab Direct is a referral service. We don’t run the clinics. What we do is the matching. We listen carefully, get a proper sense of what’s actually going on, and connect you with a CQC-registered residential clinic that fits your situation rather than the first one with availability.
There’s no charge to you for any of it. The clinics fund the service, which means the conversation, the matching and the guidance are entirely free at your end. We’re not in the business of nudging anyone into something that isn’t right. The team are all in recovery from addiction themselves, so when you call, you’re talking to someone who has actually lived this rather than reading from a script.
When You’re Ready
Whatever you’re dealing with, we can help.
You don’t have to have it worked out before you call. Most people who ring us are still figuring out whether they need rehab at all. The conversation is free, confidential, and there’s no pressure to commit to anything. If acting today is the right move, we can start placement today. If it’s not the right move yet, we’ll tell you that too.
