Take Your First Step to Recovery
UK Addiction Treatment Group is the UK’s leading provider of private addiction treatment services. We offer compassionate and comprehensive care for individuals and families affected by alcohol and drug addiction.
With a nationwide network of fully CQC-regulated clinics, UKAT provides safe, supportive environments where recovery can truly begin.
With a combined residential capacity of over 200 beds across eight centres, we are the largest inpatient treatment provider in the country. Each of our centres is staffed by a dedicated team of professionals who understand addiction not just clinically but personally—many of our staff are in recovery themselves—offering unparalleled empathy, insight, and support throughout the treatment journey.
UKAT’s treatment approach is rooted in holistic, evidence-based therapies, combining medical detox, personalised therapy, and ongoing aftercare to support long-term recovery.
Our success speaks for itself—93% of clients who complete treatment with us remain sober a year later, a testament to our quality of care and ongoing support. Recovery doesn’t end when you leave our clinics. With a strong lifetime Alumni network of over 8,000 members and free aftercare for up to a year, we ensure clients are supported at every stage of their journey.
At UKAT, we believe that everyone deserves a chance to live a life free from addiction. Whether you’re seeking help for yourself or a loved one, our phone lines are open 24/7 to offer guidance and support. With compassion, expertise, and a commitment to lasting recovery, UKAT is here to help you reclaim your life.

Regulated Excellence Across Every Centre
Every UKAT facility is fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), ensuring the highest standards of safety, professionalism, and clinical care. Whether you’re seeking treatment for yourself or a loved one, you can be confident that our centres provide a secure, supportive environment designed for healing.
Medically Detox in Comfort
Detox is often the first step towards recovery, and we we make it as safe and supported as possible. Several UKAT clinics offer medical assisted detox, with experienced staff on hand to manage symptoms and provide reassurance throughout. Your comfort and well-being are our priority, helping you take this crucial step with confidence.
Dual-Focus: Addiction and Mental Health
Many people struggling with addiction also face mental health challenges. That’s why our centres take an integrated approach that treats the whole person—not just the symptoms. Whether dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or PTSD, our trained therapists provide personalised support in a secure and compassionate setting.
Therapeutic Environments That Feel Like Home
Recovery flourishes in a calm, welcoming space. Our centres are designed to be comfortable and homely, offering clean, peaceful accommodation, communal areas for connection, and quiet spaces for reflection. Whether set in the countryside or in discreet residential locations, each UKAT clinic serves as a sanctuary for healing and renewal.
Whole-Person Healing Through Tailored Therapies
Recovery is about more than just detox. Our programmes combine proven methods—such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and 12-step facilitation—with holistic therapies like art therapy, yoga, and mindfulness. This comprehensive approach supports physical, emotional, and spiritual healing, laying the groundwork for lasting recovery.

At UKAT, our clinical and therapeutic pathway is designed to support individuals at every stage of their recovery journey. From initial assessment to aftercare, each step is guided by a team of experienced professionals dedicated to providing personalised, compassionate care.
The pathway begins with a comprehensive clinical assessment, followed by a medically managed detox where necessary. Clients then transition into structured therapy programmes that are tailored to their specific needs. These include one-to-one counselling, group therapy, CBT, DBT, trauma-informed care, and holistic therapies such as mindfulness and yoga.
Throughout treatment, we continuously review progress and adjust care plans to ensure the best possible outcomes. For clients with co-occurring mental health conditions, we offer dual diagnosis support to treat both addiction and underlying issues.
Recovery doesn’t end at discharge. Our pathway includes 12 months of free aftercare and ongoing alumni support to help clients sustain long-term sobriety and well-being.
