How Much Does Treatment at Betsi Cadwaladr UHB Substance Misuse Service – Wrexham Cost?
Because this is an NHS-commissioned service, treatment through it — assessment, prescribing, detoxification and referral to residential rehabilitation — is typically available at no direct cost to eligible residents, with eligibility usually depending on residency and on referral. For context, private residential and detox programmes elsewhere in the region tend to range from roughly £10,000 to £30,000 a month for residential care and £6,000 to £18,000 a month for medically supervised detox; these are general market figures rather than charges for this NHS route.
For an accurate picture of what’s involved, contact the service directly and ask how the referral process works, what the initial assessment covers, and how quickly a place in detoxification or residential rehabilitation can typically be arranged.

Betsi Cadwaladr UHB Substance Misuse Service – Wrexham Reviews
If you’ve used this service yourself, supported a family member through it, or referred someone here as a GP or other professional, adding a review helps other people in Wrexham weighing up where to turn.
Beyond reviews, it’s worth looking at how a service is regulated and staffed, and asking directly what a first assessment involves, how long a wait for detoxification or residential referral tends to be, and what support is available once treatment starts.
