Affordable Residential Drug & Alcohol Rehab in Leicester

PCP Leicester is our largest residential rehab centre. With 17 primary care beds, we can take on a wider range of clients than most private rehabs in the UK, including complex dual diagnosis cases and clients with co-occurring conditions like eating disorders.

The Leicester centre is in the heart of the East Midlands, a two-minute walk from Leicester train station and within easy reach of East Midlands Airport, London, Birmingham, Nottingham, and the rest of the Midlands and North.

We opened the Leicester clinic because the Midlands had no real private residential rehab option at the affordable end of the market. Since then, the centre has helped hundreds of people complete medically supervised detox, work a full primary care programme, and rebuild their lives in long-term recovery.

The centre is CQC regulated, staffed 24 hours a day, and supported by a multidisciplinary team that includes a mindfulness practitioner, a codependency specialist, and qualified counsellors with lived experience of recovery.

Treatment from £6,500. Payment plans available. Call us for a confidential conversation about admission and cost.

I have just completed my treatment - and I am a totally different person to who I was when I walked through the gates. The foundation that Andy, Chris, Beth and all staff as well as my peers have given me is something I didn’t imagine was possible on arrival. Magic is done inside here with the lessons and workshops as good as my university and some. I can’t thank everyone enough for all their love and support - true family. I cannot reccomend PCP Luton enough if you need the help and most importantly, want the help - this is the place.

I can say that in the last month I have learnt more about myself than the past 30 years of my life. I have grown and become better than I was before my use. I can’t recommend this place enough, Andy and Chris have been absolutely great and supportive. All of the staff have been amazing and the peers are equally amazing. The focus on reconnecting with my family was amazing, I am proud of myself now.

My daughter has now been in rehab for seven weeks and, apart from a small setback during the first two weeks, she seems to be returning to the daughter we had not seen for a very long time. We cannot wait to visit her this coming weekend.

The team at PCP Luton work incredibly hard and their three-step approach to recovery has been excellent. Andy, in particular, stands out. Not only is he helping my daughter with her recovery, but he also regularly keeps in touch with us, which helps ease our worries and keeps us informed about her progress.

Their tireless work so far has given me hope that my daughter will finally be okay. I understand that it is still early days, but my wife, our other children, and I are very hopeful for the future.

Thank you to everyone at PCP Luton for the care, support, and dedication you have shown to both our daughter and our family. It means more than words can express.

My partner entered PCP in early January for four months of treatment after years of struggle and decline. We had reached a point where we were beginning to lose hope, as nothing up to that point seemed to be working, which was heartbreaking for all of us.

I was, and continue to be, absolutely astounded by the woman who came home. Not only is she thriving in her sobriety and embracing life every single day, but she is positive, confident, happy, and has a clear sense of who she is and where she wants to go. She is the complete opposite of the person who was admitted in January.

I cannot thank Andy and the entire team enough for their unwavering dedication to her recovery. They never gave up on her, and the care, support, and tools they provided have enabled her to completely transform her life.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you. I will be forever grateful for everything you have done for her, and for giving us back the person we thought we almost lost.

PCP rehab has completely changed my life. I’ve learned so much about myself and now I finally feel like I have choices and a future again.
A huge thank you to Andy, Chris, and all the staff at PCP for always being there for me and supporting me through everything. The care and support they give is amazing.
The food is good, the environment is supportive, and the people genuinely want to help you succeed.
If you truly want to change your life, come to PCP. It was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made

I felt very comfortable as every member of staff have been fantastic. The place and all it’s facilities were always clean and tidy and the food was excellent ( thank you Antonia & Bev ). I am forever grateful for the team and management that run PCP and helped me getting to where I am now. Thank you!

An amazing place!
I visited my relative in December 2025 and wasn't sure what to expect, I was welcomed by very friendly staff initially.
My relative had been there for 2 months and welcomed me with a big hug, the change in him was outstanding. He had made friends with others that were recovering too. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming and made us feel at ease and reassured that my relative was being looked after.
It's an amazing place full of good people and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this rehabilitation centre to anyone. My relative is working hard and determined to succeed. He has so much support and guidance, that he is learning so much about himself. I will be forever grateful to everyone especially Andy for what he has done and the care and support provided. This really has been the lifeline he needed.
Amazing place!!!

I came into PCP completely broken and was in a crisis after cocaine took over me destroying my life with my family and friends I knew I couldn’t cope and needed help.

I heard good things about this rehab facility and my family booked me in for a 28 day residential therapy stay.

I didn’t know what to expect but knew I had no choice to regain my life.

The facility met with my expectations it was clean with comfortable accommodation.

I was very underweight upon arriving and within a week or so my weight started to increase due to a nutritious and well balanced food thanks to Antonio and Beth’s cooking.

I have lots of physical health issues and the nursing and support staff were very supportive and helpful attending to my needs. Big thanks to Akita for her caring and kindness.

The days were filled with group therapy and learning sessions taken by the two councillors.

I must thank both Andy and Chris who gave me a pretty hard time, although this became a huge benefit to me in terms of how much they helped me with my anxiety mental state and recovery, they are both passionate and dedicated in their approach.

My peers were fantastic I made some great new friends who were very supportive to me.

There was a wide range of programs which I found very beneficial.

I completed my months stay and came out a different person, clear headed and more focused that I had been for years!!

I can’t thank everyone at PCP for helping me get my life back and they also offer ongoing support and assistance going forward.

I must also thank Maria admin manager who has been very supportive and helpful during my stay!

I can highly recommend this facility to anyone else who needs help with addiction therapy.

Thank you all so very much 🙏.

I was also invited back for a reunion BBQ at PCP was lovely seeing everyone the food was delicious and a great vibe and atmosphere.

Everyone went to great effort to celebrate and make it a memorable experience.

Thank you all 👌🙏👍 xx

Cost of Private Rehab in Leicester

Private residential rehab in the UK typically costs £2,000 to £4,000 a week, with full 28-day programmes ranging from £8,000 to £16,000. Luxury rehabs run higher.

Treatment at PCP Leicester is £4,250 per week, with a two-week minimum stay (£8,500). That includes:

  • 24-hour medical care from our in-house team
  • Medically supervised detox where clinically appropriate
  • All meals, accommodation, laundry
  • A full programme of one-to-one counselling, group therapy, CBT, holistic therapies, 12-step work, and equine therapy
  • Free aftercare on completion

For most clients, the NHS is not a fast route to residential rehab. NHS-funded residential placements are rare and waiting lists are long. Free community-based addiction support in Leicester is delivered through Turning Point, Dear Albert and the Leicester City Council MyChoice service – useful options but typically outpatient, not residential. If you need immediate residential treatment, private rehab is the practical route.

Payment plans are available so you can spread the cost. Call 08000 380 480 for a personalised quote.

Our therapeutic team includes counsellors with lived experience, a mindfulness practitioner, and a codependency specialist.

Our Residential Rehab and Addiction Treatment Approach in Leicester

Every person who arrives at PCP Leicester has a different story. We build the treatment programme around the individual, not the other way around. Treatment begins with a medically supervised detox where clinically required. Our in-house doctors and nurses manage withdrawal safely and comfortably, whether you are detoxing from alcohol or drugs.

The Leicester programme is built on the 12-step model and supported by a broader holistic toolkit than any other PCP centre. That includes one-to-one counselling, group therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), nutrition support, sleep hygiene, meditation, equine therapy, and interactive educational workshops. We also have an on-site mindfulness practitioner and a codependency specialist.

Many of our counsellors are in long-term recovery themselves, which creates a level of trust and credibility with clients that’s hard to replicate. We treat all substance and behavioural addictions, plus dual diagnosis presentations including depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, codependency and eating disorders.

Programme length is flexible. A typical residential stay runs 14 to 28 days, with longer programmes available. Many Leicester clients move on to our secondary or tertiary care via our recovery houses, which is where we see the strongest long-term outcomes. Every client who completes primary care receives complimentary aftercare.

Medical Detox

Safe, 24/7 medically supervised detox in our 17-bed Leicester unit, managed by our in-house doctors and nurses.

Therapy & Counselling

12-step focused programme with CBT, one-to-one counselling, group therapy, equine therapy, mindfulness practice and codependency-specialist support.

Aftercare & Support

Complimentary aftercare for every client, plus secondary and tertiary care options through our Leicester recovery houses for clients who want structured ongoing support.

Detox Clinic Support for Alcohol and Prescription Drug Withdrawal

Detoxification is the critical first step in overcoming alcohol and prescription drug addiction. Our detox clinic provides medically supervised detox to safely manage withdrawal symptoms and prevent complications. Under continuous medical supervision, patients receive tailored treatment plans, including medication-assisted detox when necessary, ensuring comfort and safety throughout the process. We understand the challenges of withdrawal and offer compassionate support to help you begin your recovery journey with confidence and care.

Recovery in Leicester: A Setting Designed for Focus

Leicester is one of the most multicultural cities in the UK, with a vibrant city centre, strong arts scene, and a compact, walkable centre. For clients in residential treatment, that combination matters. The city is close enough to feel connected, but the Upper New Walk location is quiet and discreet, with green space immediately around the centre.

A short walk from the clinic takes you through Leicester’s cultural quarter, with the Curve theatre, the Cathedral (where Richard III was reinterred), the New Walk Museum and Art Gallery, and the historic Clock Tower at the heart of the main shopping streets.

Beyond the city, Leicestershire offers some of the most varied countryside in the Midlands, including the National Forest, the Charnwood Forest, Bradgate Park, Twycross Zoo and Twinlakes Theme Park – all useful destinations for families visiting clients during treatment.

Drug and Alcohol Addiction in Leicester and the East Midlands

England recorded 5,407 deaths related to drug poisoning in 2024, the highest annual figure since records began. The East Midlands region accounted for over 310 of those deaths. Alcohol-related harm follows a similar trajectory, with hospital admissions and alcohol-specific deaths above pre-pandemic levels across Leicester city, Leicestershire, and surrounding areas such as Nottingham, Derby, and Lincoln.

Leicester is unusual in that it has relatively strong community-based recovery infrastructure, including Turning Point Leicester, Dear Albert, and ESH Community, all of which deliver free outpatient treatment and support. Nearby cities like Nottingham and Derby also have growing addiction support services, though publicly funded residential rehab remains limited across the region.

What it doesn’t have, in any meaningful capacity, is publicly funded residential rehab. NHS-commissioned residential placements are rare and slow to access. For someone who needs to be removed from their environment quickly, private residential rehab is the practical route – and PCP Leicester can typically arrange admission within 24 hours.

Rehab in Leicester for Clients Struggling With Repeated Relapse

For individuals facing repeated relapse, specialized rehab in Leicester offers structured, evidence-based treatment tailored to break the cycle of addiction. Our programs combine medical detox, cognitive behavioural therapy, and relapse prevention planning to address both physical dependency and underlying causes. Clients receive one-to-one support from addiction specialists within a supportive environment, fostering long-term recovery.

Group therapy and holistic treatments complement personalized care, helping patients rebuild skills to manage cravings and maintain sobriety. We understand relapse is part of the recovery process, and our dedicated team provides compassionate, non-judgmental care to guide clients toward lasting change.

Drug Problems in and Around Leicester

Leicester and its surrounding areas, including Glenfield, Oadby, and Wigston, face significant challenges related to drug misuse. These communities experience elevated rates of drug-related hospital admissions and substance misuse, reflecting broader national trends across the UK.

The most commonly misused substances in Leicester include cannabis, cocaine, heroin, and synthetic cannabinoids. National data shows that cannabis remains the most prevalent illicit drug, with approximately 6.8% of adults aged 16 to 59 reporting use in the past year. Cocaine and heroin misuse contribute notably to local drug problems, with Leicester reflecting the wider pattern of increased hospital admissions for drug poisoning.

Synthetic opioids and new psychoactive substances (NPS), such as nitrous oxide and “legal highs,” present growing concerns due to their unpredictable effects and increased overdose risks. These substances complicate treatment and heighten the urgency for medically supervised intervention.

Drug-related harms in Leicester also include a rise in drug-related crime and exploitation linked to county lines operations, which disproportionately affect vulnerable individuals, including young people and those with mental health conditions.

Rehab Today provides expert, medically supervised drug rehab services tailored to the needs of individuals from Leicester and nearby areas. Our clinical teams deliver comprehensive care, including medical detox, evidence-based therapies such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and ongoing aftercare support to maximise recovery outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions About Rehab in Leicester

How much does it cost for rehab in the UK?

Private residential rehab in the UK typically costs £2,000 to £4,000 a week, with full 28-day programmes ranging from £8,000 to £16,000 depending on the centre. Luxury rehabs run higher. PCP Leicester starts from £6,500 for a residential programme and sits at the more affordable end of the market. Payment plans are available. Call 08000 380 480 for a personalised quote.

Free residential rehab through the NHS exists in principle, but it is rare. The NHS does not run its own residential rehab clinics. Most NHS-funded addiction treatment in Leicester is outpatient, delivered through Turning Point Leicester. Private rehab is usually the faster route if you need immediate residential treatment.

Call PCP on 08000 380 480, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We’ll carry out a free, confidential phone assessment, and where clinically appropriate we can arrange admission within 24 hours. You can also start the process online via our pre-admission form.

The shortest residential programmes typically run 14 days, which is enough for a medically supervised detox but limited therapeutic work. A 28-day programme is the most common length and allows for proper detox plus several weeks of structured therapy. PCP Leicester offers stays from 14 days upwards, but for most clients we recommend at least 28 days for primary care, with longer programmes available for those who would benefit from extended treatment.

A typical residential programme runs 14 to 28 days. Many PCP Leicester clients move on to our secondary or tertiary care via our recovery houses, which can extend the structured support to 12 weeks or longer.

Inpatient rehab means you live at the clinic for the duration of your treatment, with 24-hour medical and therapeutic support and a structured daily programme. Outpatient rehab means attending appointments while continuing to live at home. PCP Leicester is a residential inpatient centre.

Yes. PCP Leicester is one of the few private rehabs in the Midlands that takes on dual diagnosis presentations including depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, and co-occurring eating disorders. Our clinical team is set up to treat both the addiction and the co-occurring condition in parallel rather than in isolation.

Every client who completes primary treatment at PCP Leicester is enrolled in our complimentary aftercare programme. Leicester has a strong recovery community with daily AA, CA and NA meetings within walking distance, plus Turning Point Leicester and Dear Albert for free ongoing community support.

Ken's Story: 19 Months Sober After PCP Leicester

“After completing a detox at a different rehab, I relapsed within weeks; this time I thought I would try a full treatment package to help me stay sober. Alcoholism had literally ruined mine and my family’s life. I was so entrenched in my alcoholic ways that a detox made no difference. Sure it got me sober, but I obsessed over alcohol continually on my return home; it was only a matter of time.

I attended PCP Leicester for a 12 week programme; the staff there were amazing and really know their stuff. They helped me to see that without treatment and a programme, I was powerless over my destructive thinking and behaviours and that unless I changed, I would drink again. This thought terrified me, so I took on board everything that they suggested and implemented it into my life. I slowly started to change for the better and by the end of the 12 weeks, looked and felt completely different.

This was 19 months ago and I’ve not touched a drop of alcohol since, neither have I wanted to. My sanity around alcohol has been restored and I continue to practice the recovery programme they showed me on a daily basis. I was taught that complacency is the enemy and this is where I had gone wrong before. Id removed the alcohol but not changed one bit. I still feel very young in my sobriety, as I am learning something new about myself each and every day.

It still astounds me that there is no compulsion to drink and that I can be of help and use to others today. They actually come to me for help! Something I absolutely love, is being able to pass on what I was shown to others; to help them find recovery and get well too.

I thoroughly recommend PCP rehab for their commitment to saving alcoholics and addicts lives. I finally feel I belong and am on the right track. I take each day at a time and one thing at a time, the pay off is a life beyond my wildest dreams!”
