Luxury rehabs: What you really get for the price

Success rehabilitation from a substance addiction relies on an uncountable amount of factors. The likelihood of successful recovery can be improved or impaired by the influence of people, places and things. These are the triggers or catalysts that often hinder successful recovery.

Rehab centres understand how crucial it is to remove these chaotic elements from around you as you recover. Luxury rehabs take the premise of holistic healing and go one step further, offering the most well-rounded environment to help you through your recovery.

What is luxury rehab?

For decades, rehab centres have provided treatment for substance use disorders, commonly known as substance addictions. With each generation, healthcare professionals have strived to create improvements and reiterations of rehab centres to maximise their recovery rates and keep inpatients clean for life.

The foundations of luxury rehabs are laid on the principles of traditional rehab centres, such as access to resources, therapies and the support needed to overcome addiction. Luxury rehab treatments expand beyond conventional cognitive behavioural therapy and into deeper holistic practices.

How does luxury rehab differ from traditional rehab?

Building upward on the foundations of successful rehabilitation, luxury rehabs stand on the cutting edge of addiction recovery. They strive to go the extra distance for the ultimate in comfort, security and personal well-being. Luxury rehab centres are better equipped to deliver highly personalised therapy and their support often extends long after a successful first recovery.

Most luxury rehab centres have a higher staff-to-patient ratio, with a limited number of resort-style lodgings. Luxury addiction treatment centres employ the highest levels of discretion for clients with sensitive professional obligations.

Not every luxury centre is the same, though most luxury rehabs share similar benefits. These benefits distinguish them from traditional rehab centres. Here’s a table that outlines what to expect from most luxury centres:

Traditional rehab centres	Luxury rehab centres
Less staff, leading to less personalised care	A higher staff-to-patient ratio for deep personalisation
Entry-level clinicians, with one or two highly-trained clinicians	Masters-level clinicians and staff trained with expertise
Small workout areas	Dedicated fitness centres
Standard bedrooms	Resort-style bedrooms available
Standard behavioural rehab  treatment	Behavioural, experiential and holistic treatments and practices
Adequate food services	Catered food/private nutritionists

How can I choose between luxury rehab and traditional rehab?

Rehab services and facilities vary from centre to centre and making the right choice for you isn’t easy. Before you settle on one, there should be timely, honest reflections on exactly what you need for complete recovery.

But too much time spent in deep deliberation might actually be harmful, as in many addiction cases, help and support are needed as soon as possible.

To help you decide, we’ve laid out points to consider when weighing up whether a luxury or traditional rehab is the right choice for you or a loved one.

Level of personalisation and the need for privacy

Most luxury rehab centres offer inpatient treatment only and are not dedicated to outpatient care. Their treatment is more deeply integrated into the specific needs of the on-site patient. The level of treatment needed while in luxury rehab often depends on the severity and nature of the addiction.

Luxury centres use expert clinicians for the initial assessment of addiction and provide a comprehensive plan for the entire programme. Programmes are designed with the highest level of detail, from personal and group therapy sessions to nutritional plans and recreational outlets.

Luxury rehabs are usually located in idyllic and serene settings. This allows the centres an unprecedented level of privacy for the stay. Some patients work in industries that need a specific level of discretion. Most luxury rehabs have non-disclosure policies set up between patients and staff. Transportation and parking on premises also have higher levels of privacy, allowing a deeper focus on recovery, away from unwanted attention.

How much is rehab? – Evaluating the cost of rehabilitation

Rehab price comparisons can vary greatly from centre to centre and are not set in stone. The figures given are for guidance:

The average cost for traditional rehab in the UK can range to around £2000-£3000 per week. Most traditional rehab centres have 30-, 60- and 90-day programmes.

Luxury rehabs deliver more personalised care from expert staff, have desirable amenities and are holistically designed for deeper and more sustained healing. These expenditures mean the average cost for a month’s stay in a luxury rehab may range from £20,000 to £80,000. Deeper levels of care, privacy and support all contribute to the higher average luxury rehab cost.

Seeing rehab as an investment in yourself

Luxury rehab is a lot more expensive than traditional rehab centres. The higher level of staff commitment and expertise means a stay in one could set you back a large sum of money.

However, careful consideration should be paid to the long-term consequences of not going to rehab or not going to one that provides you with adequate support. If you were to fail recovery after any rehab programme, the long-term costs inherent to addiction could be greater than the cost of rehab itself. Therefore, the positive value of luxury rehab can greatly outweigh the costs of an addiction in the long run.

It’s important to note that traditional rehab centres can provide successful recovery, but choosing a luxury centre could provide that extra level of care you need for total recovery. The level of commitment and amenities available in luxury centres is usually incomparable to traditional recovery centres.

Lifelong sobriety is a cornerstone of the aftercare services offered in luxury rehab. Treatment programmes often integrate family members into the recovery process, with family therapy and relationship guidance programmes.

As you strive for lifelong recovery from addiction, premier rehab services are better equipped to help you get there. Investing in premium rehab services may serve as an investment in yourself, paying dividends as you return to a healthier, drug-free life.
