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.

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.

    Our Clinical Pathway

    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.

    12-Step Approach

    At UKAT, our 12-step programme offers a structured, spiritual framework that guides individuals through recovery. It fosters personal reflection, accountability, and meaningful connection with others, helping to drive lasting change. When integrated with therapy, the 12 Steps equip clients with the tools and mindset essential for achieving long-term sobriety and living a healthier, more fulfilling life.
