The Priory Group

The addiction service menu separates hospital, residential, and home-based care

Priory’s addiction service comparison separates hospital inpatient treatment, non-hospital residential rehabilitation, detox, day care, online treatment, and individual outpatient therapy. The different program names represent different levels and formats of support. They are not simply room upgrades within a single facility.

The service menu offers a free addiction assessment to help establish an appropriate starting point. Someone needing medical withdrawal support may require a different route from a person who can safely participate in therapy while living at home. Assessment also helps determine whether a particular program can address the substance use, behavioral concern, co-occurring needs, and practical circumstances involved.

Some programs can be combined or followed by another service, but movement between them should be clinically planned. Obtain the proposed facility and sequence of care, rather than selecting only by a program’s headline length or price. The same menu also explains that aftercare is included in many services, with eligibility varying by program.

Transform 28 is a defined inpatient program with continuing support

The Transform 28 program combines 28 days of hospital-based addiction treatment with 12 months of aftercare. Priory publishes a starting price of £21,813 and describes medical detox when needed, therapeutic work, family support, and preparation for the next stage of care. This price and duration belong to Transform 28, not to every Priory hospital admission.

The program describes beginning therapy as physical health and the consultant’s assessment allow. Its stages should not be interpreted as a requirement for everyone to detox for the same number of days or wait until all withdrawal care is complete before any therapeutic contact. Individual clinical needs determine participation.

Near discharge, the team describes planning for ongoing support, potentially including day care or outpatient therapy. Confirm the actual hospital, accommodation, clinical inclusions, and any additional charges in a written proposal. The year of aftercare is continuing support after the inpatient stay; it is not a year of residential accommodation.

Flourish now describes stages of residential recovery

The Flourish service page describes therapy-led residential rehabilitation in settings including Eden House in Mill Hill, Life Works House in Woking, and Beacon House in Melton Mowbray. It presents a community-based alternative to hospital treatment. People requiring medical detox first are directed toward a supported hospital stage before entering the residential service.

The current description uses an initial stage of at least 14 days, followed by further stages based on individual needs. These address understanding addiction, rebuilding daily life and relationships, and returning to ordinary activities. The service menu also gives example lengths of 14, 28, or 42 days; those examples should not replace an agreed clinical plan.

Rooms and starting prices differ between houses. Confirm the actual residence, medical suitability, proposed stages, family participation, and aftercare eligibility. Planned leave and increasing independence are described within the later stages, so practical arrangements should reflect the person’s progress rather than an assumption that every stay follows one fixed timetable.

Foundations 16 combines an inpatient week with returning day care

The Foundations 16 pathway consists of seven inpatient days followed by nine day-care treatment days across three weeks. The initial stage provides detox or stabilization as appropriate; the later stage involves returning three days a week for therapeutic work, with weekly individual sessions. The program’s name therefore does not mean 16 consecutive nights in residential accommodation.

Priory describes the day-care phase as suitable for people who are medically stable and ready to engage in regular treatment. That transition requires a workable home or lodging arrangement and reliable attendance. Someone whose needs still require continuous inpatient support may need a different plan rather than an automatic move on a preset date.

The published package includes aftercare following completion of the full pathway. Confirm where both stages take place, how transport will work, what support is available between attendance days, and whether the quoted amount covers the entire proposed course. Distinguishing inpatient nights from day-care visits makes comparisons with other programs more meaningful.

Reset focuses on detox and planning for the next treatment stage

The Reset 7/10 program describes medically assisted inpatient detox over seven to ten days, with round-the-clock care and monitoring. Priory publishes different starting prices for the seven-day and ten-day options and explains that the appropriate duration depends on clinical needs. These are program descriptions, not instructions for managing withdrawal independently.

Admission includes medical assessment and an agreed approach to symptoms and medication. The provider also emphasizes that a short detox program may not be the right starting point for everyone. Some people may need withdrawal care within a longer inpatient treatment plan.

Detox and continuing addiction treatment have different purposes. Before choosing Reset, establish what will follow: therapy, day care, another program, or treatment with an existing provider. Ask how the clinical handoff and medication follow-up will be arranged. A short initial stay should not leave the next stage dependent on finding an appointment only after discharge, particularly when additional care has already been recommended.

Elevate 12 provides scheduled online therapy for clinically suitable participants

The Elevate 12 program describes 12 weeks of online addiction treatment, with evening group sessions twice weekly and an individual session each week. Its published group times are Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:30 to 9 p.m. The service is intended for people who need more structure than individual therapy alone while remaining engaged in daily life.

Priory states that people currently needing medically assisted detox should first be assessed for a more appropriate clinical setting. Online attendance does not provide the physical monitoring of a hospital detox service. Participants also need privacy, reliable technology, and time to take part in both scheduled sessions and agreed work between them.

The page includes promotional pricing alongside a standard program amount, so obtain the current price, eligibility, and terms before booking. Confirm the time zone and whether the service can appropriately support the participant’s location and circumstances. The published aftercare and digital-support inclusions should be included explicitly in the agreed plan.

Recovery 360 includes weekday clinical review of digital information

The Recovery 360 service combines a Bluetooth breathalyzer, an app, goal setting, and clinician involvement. Priory specifies that clinical monitoring of breathalyzer results and logged activity occurs on weekdays. This distinction matters: transmission of a reading is not a promise of continuous clinical observation or an immediate response at any hour.

The service is offered through an independent route and alongside selected Priory treatment programs. The published independent price covers an initial three-month plan. People accessing it after another program should establish the included period, onboarding arrangements, and any subsequent charges rather than assume unlimited access.

Discuss what information is recorded, who can see it, and what happens when a reading or check-in is missed. Agree on a separate plan for urgent concerns and support outside monitoring hours. Digital accountability can be part of continued care, but it does not replace an indicated clinical appointment, supervised withdrawal service, or emergency assessment.

Anchor offers individual outpatient therapy with flexible delivery

The Anchor 1:1 program describes individual addiction therapy available face to face or online. Its main description identifies weekly 50-minute appointments, while the pricing information refers more generally to sessions of around an hour. Confirm the booked appointment length, frequency, therapist, and fee when arranging care.

The service can help people explore behavior, develop practical coping strategies, and continue recovery work without a residential stay. The provider says an initial assessment is used to check whether outpatient therapy is an appropriate starting point. People who need medical withdrawal support may require a different service first.

Flexible delivery does not mean that every clinician, location, or appointment time is immediately available. Discuss whether remote sessions are appropriate, how privacy will be maintained, and how this work will connect with any existing psychiatrist or therapist. If appointments are being reduced after a more intensive program, establish what support will remain available between sessions.

Day care and general outpatient treatment extend beyond addiction programs

Priory’s day-care and outpatient overview includes support for mental-health concerns, eating disorders, and addiction. Day care involves attending a hospital for an agreed number of full or half days each week. Outpatient therapy is provided through appointments, including individual, group, or couples formats when appropriate.

These formats can be starting points or part of a transition from more intensive treatment. Day care may provide more structure than ordinary outpatient appointments while allowing the person to return home. The arrangement still needs to match clinical stability, travel, responsibilities, and the support available outside treatment hours.

A network-wide description does not establish that every wellbeing center offers the same groups or that all conditions are treated at every location. Ask for the specific clinician, program, weekly schedule, and intended treatment goals. Confirm how progress will be reviewed and what would lead the team to recommend a different level of support.

Children’s services have age-specific entry points and treatment settings

The private children’s and adolescent mental-health services page gives different age ranges for different care levels. Outpatient treatment is described for ages 4–17, while day care, day hospital, and inpatient treatment are described for ages 12–17. The actual service and receiving location must still be selected through assessment.

Priory also describes digital mental-health assessment and separate specialist neurodevelopmental assessments, including autism and ADHD. These are different processes with different purposes. A general assessment that recommends a next step should not be assumed to provide a specialist diagnosis or determine every educational support requirement.

Families should clarify participation by parents or carers, school information, consent, and how recommendations will be communicated. The page explicitly says Priory is not an emergency service. A young person needing urgent help should not wait for a planned private assessment or a preferred program’s availability. For ongoing treatment, establish the named clinician and how care will connect with the young person’s existing support.

The entry-level mental-health assessments provide recommendations for further care

The mental-health assessment page distinguishes a digital questionnaire reviewed by a therapist from a virtual assessment involving a video conversation. It describes these particular routes as self-funded services and directs people using private medical insurance to contact the team about their options. No GP referral is required for the advertised entry route.

The purpose is to help identify an appropriate treatment pathway. A therapist’s report or recommendation should not be treated as a guarantee of hospital admission, a specialist neurodevelopmental diagnosis, or authorization by an insurer. Further assessment may be needed depending on the concern.

Before booking, confirm which assessment is being purchased, who will review it, what written information will be provided, and what additional appointments might follow. Sharing previous assessments and current treatment information can help avoid fragmented care. The resulting recommendation should identify a practical next step rather than leave the person to interpret a program menu without clinical guidance.

Payment arrangements depend on the service and the payer’s authorization

Priory’s payment and funding guidance describes self-funding and private medical insurance, alongside other arrangements for particular services. For insurance-funded care, the provider advises checking the policy, any GP-referral requirement, the approved treatment, and the authorization code. An insurer’s relationship with Priory does not mean that every program or session will be paid for.

The policy may also involve an excess or limits on the amount or duration of treatment. Clarify those terms before admission or a series of appointments begins. If an employer is helping arrange treatment, establish whether funding comes directly from the employer or through an insurance policy.

Priory’s separate information about commissioned or social-care funding should not be read as a promise of public funding for a chosen private addiction package. Obtain a proposal for the actual service and location, including any separate professional charges, accommodation terms, or additional care. A network-wide starting price is useful context, but individual financial responsibility requires a confirmed arrangement.

Aftercare and family support have their own eligibility and schedule

The addiction aftercare overview describes 12 months of support for people completing a number of Priory’s treatment programs. It identifies weekly aftercare sessions and separate support for relatives and loved ones. The wording applies to qualifying programs rather than every service offered across the network.

Family support includes facilitated groups and opportunities to seek guidance. These arrangements are distinct from the patient’s own treatment and should have clear participation and confidentiality boundaries. Ask when each group begins, whether it is online or in person, and who will provide the details before discharge.

Aftercare should be considered alongside any continuing medication, individual therapy, or other clinical needs. A weekly group does not automatically include all of those services. Confirm the included period and the plan when it ends, including local or existing professional support. Planning these connections before the initial program finishes makes the practical transition clearer for both the person receiving treatment and their family.
