Whether you are asking for yourself or for someone you love, it is a fair question. You should be able to understand what treatment may cost, what is included, and what you are paying for before making any decision.
Private rehab pricing is not always presented in a consistent way. Some centres publish ranges. Others give a figure only after an enquiry. Some include detox within residential treatment, while others charge for it separately.
Some services are fully residential, while others provide daytime treatment with accommodation arranged separately. That lack of standardisation can make comparison difficult when you are already trying to make a hard decision.
This page explains what rehab costs in the UK, what affects the fee, what the cost covers at Abbington House, and what to look out for when comparing providers.
How much does private rehab cost in the UK?
There is no single price for rehab, because there is no single kind of rehab. What you pay depends mostly on length and whether you stay somewhere for treatment, or attend while living at home.
In the UK, quasi-residential rehab may cost around £6,000 to £8,000 for 28 days, while fully residential treatment commonly sits between £12,000 and £16,000. Some private and specialist centres charge more than this, so the figures below are a general guide rather than a fixed market rate. Abbington House sits within the UK range for fully residential rehab.
Private outpatient costs
Private outpatient usually means attending sessions while continuing to live at home. This is often charged per session, commonly in the region of £50 to £150 each, depending on the therapist, service and level of support. While it costs less, it may not suit those who need detox or time away from home.
Private quasi-residential costs
Quasi-residential costs tend to sit at the lower end of private treatment pricing, but it is important to understand why. In many cases, treatment takes place during the day while accommodation is separate or off-site. Meals, overnight support and the level of containment may also differ, which is one reason the headline fee can be lower.
Fully residential costs
Fully residential rehab means staying in the treatment setting itself, with accommodation, meals, therapy, daily structure and support provided as part of the same stay. In a fully residential setting, the person is not simply attending daytime treatment while staying elsewhere. This option tends to work for people who need structured, round-the-clock care.
What affects the cost of private rehab?
The cost of private rehab usually depends on the type of treatment, length of stay, accommodation, clinical input, whether detox is required, and what support is included after treatment.
Some centres charge separately for parts of care, while others include them within the main fee. This is why two prices may look similar at first but cover different things in practice.
What Rehab Costs at Abbington House
The cost of treatment at Abbington House is £13,950 for a 28-day stay.
The fee is the same whether someone is coming in for alcohol addiction, drug addiction, or both. Clinical needs still shape the treatment itself, particularly whether detox is needed, but they do not change the agreed cost of the stay.
Because the fee is fixed, people know from the outset what treatment will cost and what is included, rather than being quoted one figure and charged more as treatment goes on.
What the fee includes
At Abbington House, the fee covers the full stay, with the core parts of treatment included rather than added later.
- En-suite accommodation for the duration of the stay, in private or shared rooms
- All meals
- Medical detox, where clinically required
- Individual and group therapy
- Support where mental health difficulties sit alongside addiction
- Complementary therapies, including art therapy and sound therapy
- Activities and access to local gym and swimming facilities where appropriate
- A 16-week family support programme (online)
- Relapse prevention and recovery planning
- One year of aftercare following completion
- Lifetime access to the Abbington Community events throughout the year
Comparing rehab costs honestly
When comparing rehab costs, it helps to look beyond the headline figure, because not every centre includes the same things in the main fee.
Abbington House is fully residential. Treatment, accommodation, meals, therapeutic support and day-to-day care are all provided as part of the same residential setting.
A low headline price is not always the lower overall cost once the additions are counted, or once you understand what is and is not included in the fee.
