How Much Does Treatment at Tearmann Ward, St Camillus’ Hospital Cost?
Tearmann Ward is a dementia assessment unit within the public hospital system rather than an addiction residential or detox programme, so the typical Irish market estimates for private rehab (residential care broadly runs €8,700–€21,000, or £7,500–£18,000) aren’t a like-for-like comparison and are noted only as general market context. Because the ward operates within the HSE, care here may be available at no direct cost to residents, with eligibility usually depending on residency and referral.
For anything specific to a particular admission, it’s best to speak to the hospital or a GP directly and ask how the referral pathway into the ward works.
