Frequently asked questions
Rehabilitation (rehab) typically refers to a program or facility designed to help individuals recover from addiction, injuries, or other medical conditions. In the context of addiction, rehab programs aim to help individuals stop using drugs or alcohol through a combination of therapy, medical treatment, and lifestyle changes.
The cost of rehab in the UK can vary widely depending on the type of facility, the length of stay, and the services provided. Prices can range from £3295.00 to £6995.00 per week for private rehab facilities. Some luxury facilities may charge significantly more.
Yes, there are free rehab options available in the UK through the National Health Service (NHS). However, the availability of free services may vary by location, and there might be long waiting lists. Charities and non-profit organizations also offer free or subsidized rehab programs.
In rehab, patients typically undergo an initial assessment followed by a detoxification process if necessary. This is followed by a structured program of therapy, which may include individual counseling, group therapy, and other activities aimed at recovery and skill-building for a sober life.
Rehab can be effective, especially for those who are committed to recovery. The success of rehab varies depending on the individual’s circumstances, the type of addiction, the quality of the program, and the level of support provided during and after the program.
The length of time spent in rehab can vary. Common durations include 30 days, 60 days, or 90 days. Some individuals may benefit from longer stays, depending on the severity of their addiction and their recovery progress.
To get into rehab, an individual can start by consulting with a healthcare provider for an assessment and referral. Alternatively, one can directly contact rehab centers to inquire about admission requirements and availability.
The duration of drug rehab is similar to general rehab durations—typically 7, 14, 21, 28, 42, 56, 70, or 84 days. Some programs may offer shorter or longer stays based on the individual’s needs.
Drug rehab usually involves detoxification, followed by structured therapy sessions. These include cognitive-behavioral therapy, counseling, group meetings, and sometimes supplementary activities like yoga or meditation, all aimed at helping individuals overcome their drug addiction.
Our programmes at Steps Together have been carefully designed to ensure clients receive the best possible clinical and therapy care at all times. Our programmes involve both individual and group therapy sessions coupled with presentations, meetings, wellbeing, holistic therapies and aftercare.

Detoxing from drugs or alcohol is not a one-size-fits-all process. The process of Steps Together’s detox programme varies and could take anywhere from a few days to several months. How long a detox takes depends on many factors, such as the substance or substances used, how often it was taken, how much was taken, and the clients medical history and age.
Steps Together offers a comprehensive detoxification programme designed to help individuals safely and comfortably detox from drugs and alcohol. Before admission to the programme, our clinical team will assess the client and determine what type of detox is best suited to their situation.
Detoxing from drugs or alcohol can be a difficult and uncomfortable process, but it can also be life-saving. Steps Together’s detox programme is designed to help individuals safely and comfortably detox from drugs and alcohol and start the journey to a healthier, drug- and alcohol-free life.

Bringing a phone or laptop to Steps Together’s rehab centre can be a great way to stay in touch with family and friends while in treatment, but it is important to understand the guidelines of the facility before bringing your devices.
Our centres allow clients to bring their personal devices, such as cell phones and laptops, to help them stay connected with their loved ones and for entertainment purposes. However, there are some restrictions in place that should be followed.
Phones and laptops are typically only allowed to be used during certain times throughout the day, such as during downtime or before bedtime. They are usually prohibited from being used during groups and activities, as the staff wants to ensure that all clients are actively participating in the treatment programme. Additionally, game consoles are typically not permitted in our facilities.
It is important to keep in mind that our facilities have a “no tolerance” policy for devices that are used inappropriately. This could include using your device to access inappropriate websites or talking to people who could be a potential threat to your sobriety.
Please check each individual property page, and talk to our expert treatment advisors to understand more about the choice and availability of rooms at each property. Call 0330 175 7031 today.
