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.

FAQs about heroin rehab
What is the reality of opiate withdrawal?
It’s a significant physical process, but one our medical team manages completely. Most people find it far more manageable than they expected, because they’re monitored and supported throughout rather than going through it alone.
Can you manage a transition off methadone or suboxone?
Yes. We design a phased, medically supervised route to complete sobriety for clients currently on maintenance medication. The goal is total independence, achieved at a pace that’s safe and sustainable.
How long does heroin rehab take?
A 28-day residential stay is the clinical standard, giving enough time for full physical detox and the start of the deeper psychological work. Extended stays are available for clients who need more time before returning to their lives.
My dependency started with a prescription. Does this matter?
It matters in the sense that it informs how we approach your treatment. Many clients at our opiate addiction rehab arrive via prescription painkillers. We build your programme around that specific history.
How secure is my personal information?
Completely. Nothing about your stay at our detox clinic for heroin addiction is shared without your explicit written consent. Who you tell, and when, is entirely your decision.
Do I need a referral to get started?
No. You can contact Charterhouse Clinic directly, and we handle everything from there. There’s no need for a GP referral unless you’d like us to liaise with your doctor.
