Admissions and arrival
How quickly can someone be admitted to Charterhouse Clinic?
Admissions to Charterhouse Clinic can often be arranged within 24 to 48 hours of the first enquiry, subject to clinical suitability and availability. The process begins with a confidential assessment to decide whether private residential rehab is appropriate for the person’s needs. This helps the admissions team plan safe, suitable addiction treatment before arrival.
Does Charterhouse Clinic require a GP referral?
No, a GP referral is not needed to access private rehab at Charterhouse Clinic. A person can contact the admissions team directly, or a family member can make the first enquiry on their behalf. Admission is based on a confidential clinical assessment rather than a referral requirement.
What types of addiction do you treat?
Charterhouse Clinic treats alcohol addiction, cocaine and drug addiction, prescription drug dependency, gambling addiction, and sex and relationship addiction. We also work with patients managing co-occurring mental health conditions alongside their addiction.
Can I leave during treatment?
Our residential programme is voluntary, and patients are not held against their will. That said, leaving early significantly reduces the effectiveness of treatment. Our clinical team will always discuss any concerns openly and work to address them before that point arises.
What should someone bring to residential rehab?
Someone coming to residential rehab at Charterhouse Clinic should bring comfortable clothing, suitable footwear for outdoor movement, and basic toiletries. A full packing list is provided during the admissions process so the person knows what is allowed within the residential setting. This helps keep the environment safe, calm, and appropriate for treatment.
Treatment and clinical care
How long does the programme last?
The standard residential programme at Charterhouse Clinic is 28 days. Longer stays are available where clinically appropriate, and our team will discuss the right duration for your circumstances during the initial assessment.
Do you offer detox?
Yes. Medical detox is available at Charterhouse Clinic for patients who require it before beginning the therapeutic programme. This is assessed and managed by our clinical team to keep the process as safe and comfortable as possible.
What does a typical day look like?
A typical day at Charterhouse Clinic is structured around individual therapy, group sessions, holistic therapies, and time for physical activity on the estate grounds. The daily routine supports clinical addiction treatment while helping clients rebuild healthy habits. The exact programme is shaped around the person’s needs and stage of recovery.
Does Charterhouse Clinic treat dual diagnosis?
Yes, Charterhouse Clinic can support people with addiction and co-occurring mental health difficulties such as anxiety or depression. This is often described as dual diagnosis, where substance use or addictive behaviour exists alongside mental health needs. The treatment programme looks at the whole person rather than focusing only on the addiction.
Does Charterhouse Clinic provide private rooms?
Yes, Charterhouse Clinic provides each client with a private en-suite bedroom. A private room gives clients space to rest, reflect, and maintain dignity during residential treatment. This supports the calm and confidential environment of the clinic.
The facility
What does the estate look like?
Charterhouse Clinic is set within a private Northamptonshire estate, surrounded by open grounds and natural space. The setting is calm and residential, a significant distance from the pressures of daily life. Patients have access to outdoor areas, therapy spaces, and comfortable communal rooms throughout their stay.
What amenities are included in the programme?
All meals, accommodation, clinical sessions, holistic therapies, and aftercare planning are included within the programme. The estate provides access to equine therapy, outdoor movement facilities, and a range of complementary treatments as part of the residential stay.
Is Charterhouse Clinic CQC registered?
Yes. Charterhouse Clinic is registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC), the independent regulator of health and social care in England. This means our standards of care are independently assessed and must meet the regulatory requirements set for private healthcare providers.
What makes Charterhouse Clinic different from other private rehabs?
The combination of a highly qualified clinical team, a residential estate setting, and a genuinely personalised treatment plan sets Charterhouse Clinic apart. Programmes are built around the individual, not a fixed template, and the environment supports recovery in a way that a standard clinical facility cannot replicate.
