How Much Does Treatment at Gloucester House Cost?
Private rehab in England typically runs from around £6,000 to £18,000 a month for medical detox and £10,000 to £30,000 a month for residential treatment, though as a charity-run service Gloucester House may also offer funded places, and its own current pricing was not available at the time of writing. Anyone interested should ask directly about funded versus self-paid places.
Standard counselling and group work are generally included in whichever arrangement applies, while specific therapies can sometimes be extra, so confirming the full breakdown with the Salvation Army team before admission is worthwhile.
