How Much Does Treatment at Mount Carmel Cost?
Residential rehabilitation in London is generally estimated at £12,000 to £35,000 per month as a broad market figure for the area, rather than Mount Carmel‘s own published rate, since no facility-specific figure is given.
Admissions here note that funding can be arranged privately or through public funding, so it’s worth asking Mount Carmel directly which routes are currently available, what a funded or self-pay place would include, and how the assessment form feeds into that decision.

Mount Carmel Reviews
People who have stayed at Mount Carmel, or family members who supported them through treatment there, are encouraged to leave a review describing their experience of the centre.
It’s also worth looking at the centre’s standing with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and how its specialised groups are staffed. A good question to ask is how the weekly house meetings fit into an individual’s overall care plan.

Great food and vibe
Great food

Best spot in the neighbourhood
A lovely lunch, although our on the bone chicken was under cooked. The rest of the small plates were delicious and the atmosphere really cosy . Fair enough we were given complimentary coffees for the uneaten chicken but… the attitude of the staff made us feel we shouldn’t have complained about the chicken.. Grace Dent assured us it would be a brilliant experience.. not quite so
Excellent meal
Google Review ⭐️⭐️ We went to Carmel in Queen’s Park to celebrate a friend’s birthday. We already found the prices a little on the expensive side, but we were happy to spend money there and enjoy the occasion. What… really disappointed us was being told that there was a £5 per person charge just to cut the birthday cake we had brought with us. We found this absolutely ridiculous, especially as we were already spending money on food and drinks at the restaurant. We were so disappointed by the charge that we decided not to cut the cake at all and simply left with it. I understand that restaurants may have a cake-cutting charge, but £5 per person is excessive, in my opinion. This completely spoiled what should have been a nice birthday celebration. Unfortunately, this left a very bad impression of Carmel, and it’s not somewhere I would choose to return for a celebration.
