Our Addiction Treatment Programme
The addiction treatment model at Smarmore Castle has been developed over 30 years by a world-renowned team of doctors and psychologists. We provide an intensive rehab programme which follows the 12 Steps Model, and offers a rapid admissions process. As soon as they arrive, the patient completes a thorough medical assessment and physical examination. This is crucial to forming the patient’s personalised detox and treatment plans. Our medical team closely manages the detoxification stage, in order to minimise the physical and psychological discomfort experienced by the patient.
Specialist addiction therapies forming our core treatment programme include individual therapy, group therapy, CBT, Trauma therapy, grief therapy, and family therapy. We also offer a range of complementary addiction therapies to patients, including hyperbaric oxygen therapy, equine therapy and drumming therapy.
Patients suffering from a psychological condition such as depression or an eating disorder in addition to a primary diagnosis of alcohol or drug addiction can access dual diagnosis treatment.
In their leisure time, patients can enjoy access to our 22-metre indoor heated swimming pool, sauna and steam room, gym and sports with our fitness instructor. They are also able to explore our scenic 16 acres of private gardens.
All patients receive a personally tailored two-year continuing care plan after discharge to help ensure their sustained recovery.
