If you or someone you love is considering treatment, one of the first practical questions that comes up is cost.
It is a fair question. And it deserves a clear, honest answer rather than vague figures or promises.
This guide explains the cost of private rehab in the UK, with a particular focus on alcohol rehab in London. We cover what influences the price, current TLC Rehab costs and what is included when you choose private residential treatment.
Why Costs Vary Between Clinics
Not all alcohol rehab London programmes are priced the same, and the differences are not always obvious from the outside.
Several things affect the cost, including:
- Whether the programme is residential or outpatient
- The length of stay, from 7 nights up to 28 nights or longer
- The size and type of room, single or shared
- The level of medical support included
- The ratio of therapists to clients
- What is built into the daily programme, such as therapy, yoga, nutrition, and group sessions
When comparing private rehab costs, it’s important to look at what is included in the price, the level of clinical and therapeutic support provided and whether the programme is appropriate for the individual’s needs.
What Private Alcohol Rehab in London Typically Costs
The cost of private alcohol rehab in London varies considerably between providers and depends on factors including the length of stay, accommodation and level of support provided. At TLC Rehab, residential treatment currently starts from £3,995 for a seven-night stay in a twin room.

What the Cost Actually Covers
It helps to understand what you are paying for so you can compare programmes more clearly.
TLC’s residential rehabilitation programme is built around a structured but flexible daily routine, and a typical stay includes:
- Medically supported detox where needed, overseen by a clinical team
- A daily therapeutic programme that is structured but not rigid
- One-to-one therapy sessions, two individual sessions per week
- Group therapy and recovery workshops
- Holistic support such as yoga, art therapy, walks, and wellbeing sessions
- Nutritional guidance and specialist input each week
- Personalised care planning with regular reviews throughout the stay
The value of residential treatment is not just in the individual therapy sessions. It is in the whole environment. Being away from daily triggers while receiving structured care every single day makes a real difference to how much progress someone can make.
Is a Longer Stay Worth the Extra Cost?
The honest answer is that recovery does not follow a fixed timeline.
Alcohol dependency affects people differently. The time someone needs to stabilise, reflect, and begin making genuine progress varies from person to person.
A longer residential stay provides more time to engage with the therapeutic programme, establish new routines and prepare for life after treatment. A 28-night programme gives:
- More time for the body to stabilise physically after detox
- More opportunity for therapists to work through the emotional patterns that sit underneath the drinking
- More time for the individual to practise new coping strategies before returning home
- Proper space to put together a solid aftercare plan
Different lengths of stay are available because treatment needs vary from person to person. A seven-night stay may be appropriate in some circumstances, while other guests may benefit from 14 or 28 nights of residential treatment. The appropriate option should be considered following an assessment of the individual’s circumstances and treatment needs.
The TLC clinical team will talk through which length of stay makes the most sense during an initial conversation, with no obligation.
Single Room or Twin Room
TLC Rehab offers both single and twin-room accommodation, allowing guests to consider their preference and budget when choosing their stay.
A single room means:
- More personal space to rest and reflect
- No disruption from others during the night
- A stronger sense of privacy day to day
Twin rooms offer the same therapeutic programme at a lower price point. For some people the company is actually welcome. Both options give you access to the full programme, and the choice usually comes down to personal preference and budget.
Private Alcohol Rehab in London: What Are You Paying For?
NHS support for alcohol dependency does exist, but waiting times can be long and access to intensive residential care is Choosing private residential treatment means paying directly for accommodation, clinical and therapeutic support and the wider treatment programme.
At TLC Rehab, this also provides access to a small residential setting, 24-hour on-site nursing care and a personalised programme combining psychotherapy with holistic support.
Understanding exactly what is included makes it easier to compare private rehab costs between providers rather than looking at the headline price alone.
Families trying to help a loved one decide can find useful guidance in the support for family members section of the TLC website.
Does the Environment Matter?
The treatment environment is an important consideration when choosing residential rehab. Some people prefer a smaller, homely setting where they can step away from everyday triggers and focus on their treatment.
