Castle Craig is a world-renowned residential rehab clinic treating substance addiction, gambling and gaming addiction, and co-occurring conditions like depression, anxiety, burnout, trauma, relationship issues, and eating disorders. Their clinical team conducts a medical examination upon arrival to tailor treatment to client needs. They offer medical detox as needed. Castle Craig is part of the Castle Health Group, including Smarmore Castle in Ireland, Stockholms Beroendeklinik, CATCH Recovery in London, and Castle Craig Nederlands.

Treatment Approach

Castle Craig's vision of recovery goes beyond helping clients when they are in treatment—it aims for long-lasting results. Their 28+-day programme encompasses a range of therapeutic tools to treat the root of the condition(s). Their abstinence-based, evidence-based treatment follows 12-Step philosophy and incorporates individual therapy and group therapy. Complementary therapies include equine therapy, creative writing, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy. They offer trauma-informed therapy, eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR), and PTSD-specific therapy.

Family Treatment and Aftercare

Castle Craig offers a robust family programme and intervention services with a trained interventionist. Their aftercare includes a comprehensive 24-week programme, offering individual and group therapy sessions, relapse prevention planning, skill building, support network integration, and a holistic wellness focus. All clients can join the Recovery Club, dedicated to improving life quality and relationship building by providing accountability through routine check-ins, an annual reunion, an alumni group chat, and a support line. Additional services like sober transport and retreats are also available, with the aim to support a smooth transition from rehab to everyday life.

Private Location

Built in 1798, Castle Craig’s mansion retains many original features, including magnificent fireplaces, marble pillars, and exquisitely carved panelling. Since it was purchased by the McCanns in 1988, it’s been fully renovated to fulfill all necessary requirements of a leading treatment center in the UK. Castle Craig is set on 50 acres of woodland and gardens with plenty of space for activities and therapies such as yoga, equine therapy, alpaca walks, nature walks, fitness activities, and outdoor therapy. Spa services include acupuncture, aromatherapy, and massage. Clients enjoy outings such as hiking. Castle Craig undergoes rigorous inspections by Intertek, an independent quality improvement inspectorate.
