Matthew founded Charterhouse Clinic with more than two decades of experience across every level of addiction treatment. He’s spent his career developing the expertise to know exactly what a programme of this quality should look like, and he built it.
Private alcohol addiction treatment in a residential setting
Medically-supervised detox, bespoke therapy, and complete confidentiality. Charterhouse Clinic’s residential programme gives you clinical support in a tranquil environment.




Alcohol withdrawal is different from other substances
Stopping alcohol without medical supervision carries genuine physical risk and may even result in a medical emergency. This is why alcohol addiction treatment in a residential setting with 24-hour clinical oversight is a needed level of care.
At Charterhouse Clinic, you’re not going through alcohol withdrawal alone. Our clinical team is with you throughout and adjusts the protocol to support your needs. Our private alcohol rehab treatment is safe and effective.
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.
Proper recovery gives back more than sobriety
The underlying reasons become clear
Our alcohol addiction treatment therapy focuses on what is driving the dependency, so you leave with a genuine understanding of what fuelled it and how to manage it.

Complete privacy throughout
Nothing about your enquiry, assessment, or stay at Charterhouse Clinic is shared with anyone without your explicit written consent.
Lifelong sobriety with a relapse prevention plan
Your clinical team builds a practical aftercare plan you can use in your day-to-day life. Alcohol addiction recovery doesn’t end on the day you leave.
Physical well-being comes back quickly
Sleep, nutrition, and energy are all affected by long-term alcohol use. You’ll leave Charterhouse Clinic feeling physically stronger than you have in years.
Mental clarity returns
The fog lifts within the first few weeks for most clients. Mood, focus, and emotional steadiness all improve during alcohol addiction recovery.
Relationships get a chance to recover
Reconnect with your loved ones with a solid therapeutic foundation. Our team helps you rebuild your relationships that have been impacted by alcohol addiction.
How we treat alcohol addiction
- 24-hour medically supervised detox The first stage of alcohol residential rehab is a fully monitored medical detox. The clinical team is available around the clock, managing withdrawal symptoms and adjusting medication protocols as needed.
- Individual therapeutic programme Once you are physically stable, the therapeutic work begins. Your lead psychologist designs a programme built specifically around you. We draw on CBT, trauma-informed practice, and motivational approaches depending on what support you need.
- Holistic therapies woven through the stay Physical wellbeing, nutrition, sleep, and structured activity run alongside the clinical work throughout your stay. Recovery from alcohol dependency involves the whole person, and the programme reflects that.
- Family involvement where appropriate Alcohol addiction rarely affects just one person. If chose, you can invite family and loved ones to join you for therapeutic work at Charterhouse Clinic.
- Aftercare planning before discharge Before you leave, your clinical team prepares a detailed plan for the weeks and months ahead, including therapy referrals and relapse prevention strategies built around your specific circumstances.

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.
