Our nearest drug and alcohol rehab clinics to Cardiff

Cotswolds

Our residential rehab clinic for substance abuse and mental health disorders is located in the Cotswolds. It provides medically supervised detox and primary care for addiction recovery, as well as specialised addiction treatment, teenage rehab, and expert intervention services.


Bristol

Our Bristol Clinic, serving as our main office, provides outpatient primary care for addiction and mental health disorders, along with secondary and aftercare services. It also functions as a community hub, where former clients regularly meet to offer mutual support and celebrate sobriety.

London

Our London clinic not only serves as a community hub where former residential patients gather to celebrate their sobriety, but also offers non-residential day care services for individuals struggling with drug and alcohol addiction. Additionally, it provides a range of mental health services to support ongoing recovery and well-being.

Cardiff Rehab Options: Inpatient vs. Outpatient

If you’re looking for rehab in Cardiff, one of the first decisions to make is whether to choose an inpatient (residential) or outpatient treatment programme. Both approaches offer support for addiction recovery, but they differ significantly in structure, intensity, and outcomes.

Residential rehab offers a higher level of support, which is especially ideal if you have a  moderate to severe addiction. At Gladstones Clinic, our inpatient rehab programmes offer:

  • 24/7 medical and therapeutic support
  • A complete break from triggers and everyday stressors
  • Structured days with therapy, rest, and recovery
  • Healthy meals, peaceful grounds, and a focus on healing

Complementary Services at Gladstones Clinic

Recovery takes more than just therapy or detox; it requires a broad approach that supports the individual and their support system at every stage.

At Gladstones, we offer a range of complementary services to help get people into treatment, support their families, and provide lifelong access to the tools needed for lasting recovery.

Intervention Services

Many people struggling with addiction won’t seek help on their own. Shame, fear of judgment, or denial might be stopping your loved one from reaching out for help.  

That’s where our specialist intervention services come in. We work with families and friends to guide their loved ones into treatment – safely, compassionately, and effectively. Our team helps you:

  • Plan and carry out the intervention
  • Communicate in a way that supports (not pushes away!)
  • Avoid common pitfalls that can damage relationships
  • Get your loved one into the right care at the right time

Addiction can deeply affect the whole family. When you begin treatment, your loved ones could also benefit from support. 

Our family therapy sessions are designed to:

  • Help families process the trauma of addiction
  • Build a deeper understanding of what recovery really involves
  • Dispel myths and remove stigma
  • Create a stable, healthy home environment for long-term success

We help families heal and move forward, ensuring you have a solid foundation to return to when you finish treatment.

Recovery doesn’t end when rehab does. In fact, the weeks and months after finishing rehab can feel like the most difficult. 

That’s why we offer free, lifelong aftercare for every client. You’ll have access to:

  • Regular in-person and online group therapy
  • Ongoing peer support from the recovery community
  • Check-ins and continued care when needed

No matter where you are in your journey, you won’t have to walk it alone. We’re here for the long term.

What to Expect During Treatment

Although some people succeed in overcoming their addictions at home, with or without professional assistance such as day care or an intensive programme, private residential rehab remains a popular option for several reasons.

Physical removal from daily stressors and triggers, a medically supervised detox and withdrawal, increased support, and access to aftercare services all contribute to a smoother recovery journey and an increased likelihood of long-term sobriety.

We offer a 4-week residential programme that combines:

  • CBT, DBT, and one-to-one counselling
  • Group therapy and relapse prevention
  • Alternative therapies: yoga, meditation, acupuncture
  • Education on addiction and coping strategies
  • Optional family sessions and trauma-informed care

We specialise in residential drug and alcohol rehab and offer 4-week treatment programmes at our 12-bedroom clinic in the Cotswolds.

Facilities at Our Clinic

Only an hour from Cardiff, our Cotswolds rehab centre includes:

  • 12 en suite private rooms

  • Onsite therapy rooms and group spaces

You can benefit from 12 private en-suite bedrooms, onsite therapy rooms, and peaceful communal areas, including a furnished garden. Our team of in-house chefs prepares three nutritious meals a day to support physical and emotional recovery, creating a truly home-from-home environment where you can focus entirely on healing.

Our rooms are carefully laid out to be as comfortable as possible. The rest of the clinic has well-kept shared spaces, a furnished outdoor area and garden, as well as fully equipped onsite therapy and meeting rooms.
