Why residential care gives alcohol recovery its best chance
Alcohol is deeply embedded in everyday social life in a way that most other substances aren’t. It’s at every dinner, event, and social occasion. Outpatient treatment asks you to change while staying inside that environment, which makes the process significantly harder than it needs to be.
Removing yourself from that entirely for 28 days changes what recovery is actually possible. Our private alcohol rehab treatment programme is residential because the distance from triggers, routines, and pressures gives you a meaningful clinical advantage.
Clinicians who understand high-stakes dependency
Our approach comes from clinical expertise and personal experience of recovery in equal measure.
Leticia is the clinical lead at Charterhouse Clinic. She designs the therapeutic programme that underpins every treatment plan, combining formal psychological training with years of intensive residential experience. She contributes to the development and review of therapeutic programme content.
Dr Otulana is a physician specialising in substance misuse and detoxification, with more than two decades of clinical experience. As GP and addiction specialist physician at Charterhouse Clinic, he guides the medical care that supports safe, structured recovery within the residential programme.
FAQs about alcohol addiction treatment
What is involved in alcohol rehab at Charterhouse?
Our alcohol rehab programme involves medically supervised detox, individual therapy, and a structured residential stay. Every aspect of your care is designed around your specific situation, medical history, and recovery goals.
Is medical detox necessary for alcohol addiction?
For most people with significant alcohol dependency, medically supervised detox is essential. Alcohol withdrawal can be physically dangerous without clinical oversight. Our team assesses every client individually and designs a detox protocol that is safe, monitored, and as comfortable as possible.
How long does alcohol residential rehab take?
Most programmes run for 28 days. Extended stays are available where clinically appropriate. The length of your programme is determined during your initial assessment and can be adjusted as your treatment progresses.
What sets a private alcohol recovery centre apart from standard options?
A private alcohol recovery centre like Charterhouse Clinic provides a higher level of individual attention, greater discretion, and a residential environment that is clinically superior to outpatient options. CQC registration means the quality of care is independently regulated and verified.
Will my employer or family know I am in treatment?
No. Your treatment is completely confidential. Nothing is shared with your employer, family, or anyone else without your explicit consent.
Can I continue working during alcohol addiction treatment?
Residential treatment requires a full commitment to the programme. We can discuss how to manage your professional responsibilities during your stay and help you plan your absence in a way that protects your privacy.
What happens after I leave the alcohol recovery centre?
Before you leave Charterhouse Clinic, your clinical team prepares a detailed aftercare plan. This includes ongoing therapy referrals, relapse prevention strategies, and support for the weeks and months following discharge. You can also continue outpatient alcohol rehab treatment at our London campus.
