The cost of residential rehab in the UK typically falls between £8,000 and £16,000 for a 28-day stay. Where someone falls within that range depends on clinical needs, the level of support required, and the length of stay.
Abbington House operates within this typical UK range. We’re straightforward about what’s included and what to expect, so there are no surprises once treatment begins.

Rehab pricing reflects the level of care being provided. The main factors that influence cost are whether medically supervised detox is needed, the length of stay, the structure and intensity of therapy, staffing levels, accommodation, and the aftercare provided after discharge.
It’s also worth understanding the difference between fully residential and quasi-residential treatment. Quasi-residential programmes provide daytime therapy with accommodation arranged separately, which can lower the headline cost but offers less continuous support. Fully residential rehab — where treatment and accommodation are combined in one setting with round-the-clock staffing — is reflected in the overall fee.
Some providers charge for detox separately. In most residential settings, detox is included within the programme fee rather than added as an extra.
Detox-only stays typically last 7–10 days and range from £3,000 to £6,000, depending on the substance involved and the level of medical complexity. At Abbington House, detox is part of the residential rehab programme where clinically required — not charged as a separate stage.
Everything essential to treatment is included in the programme fee. There are no additional charges for core elements.
This covers medical detox where required, accommodation and meals, daily group therapy, individual therapeutic sessions, dual diagnosis support, continuous staff support, recovery planning, psychoeducation, weekly online family support sessions, and aftercare planning before discharge.
Also included — not as optional extras:
Rehab pricing is not standardised across the UK. Some providers publish clear ranges, others only share costs after an enquiry. Some include detox in the programme fee, others charge separately. Some include aftercare, others don’t.
This makes comparison difficult — especially when someone is trying to make an important decision under pressure. When comparing costs, it’s worth asking what’s actually included, whether detox or aftercare carry additional fees, and what level of staffing and supervision is provided throughout the stay.
If you'd like a clear breakdown based on your situation, we'll talk you through what's included and where you'd sit within the range. There's no pressure to commit — just straightforward information so you can decide what feels right.
