Rehab packages

What are rehab packages?

Rehab packages are structured treatment options that outline how long someone stays in rehab and how their care is delivered during that time. Rather than offering one fixed route into recovery, rehab centres use packages to reflect the reality that people arrive at treatment in very different situations.

Each package includes core elements of rehab, such as assessment, therapeutic support, daily structure and planning for life after treatment. What changes between packages is the amount of time available for these elements to take effect. Shorter packages focus on stabilising and creating insight, while longer programmes allow space for deeper therapeutic work and behavioural change to develop more gradually.

Rehab packages exist to prevent people from being placed into treatment that feels either overwhelming or insufficient.

What rehab packages are available?

Below, we take a look at the different rehab packages that are available at most rehab centres, to give you an idea of the options available to you:

10-day rehab package

This rehab option suits people who know something isn’t right but aren’t ready for a long stay. It offers a short, contained pause away from daily triggers, with assessment and early therapy built in. Depending on the package and rehab centre, detox may also be included. The focus is clarity rather than resolution, helping you understand what’s happening and decide what support makes sense next.

14-day rehab package

A 14-day package works well when a brief intervention feels too tight, but extended rehab isn’t yet necessary. With extra time to settle, therapy can move beyond first impressions and into real insight. Treatment includes therapeutic work and structured days that allow patterns to surface naturally rather than being rushed.

28-day rehab package

The average stay within rehab, this programme length is designed for situations where addiction has had time to shape routines and coping habits. Four weeks allows physical recovery and emotional work to progress together, with consistent therapy and structured support. It suits people who need space to slow down, revisit themes and start building changes that feel sustainable.

90-day rehab package

A 90-day package is chosen when shorter attempts haven’t held or when addiction feels deeply embedded. Treatment unfolds gradually, beginning with stabilisation and developing into deeper therapeutic work and future planning. With time on your side, new skills can be formed and practised and aftercare shaped around real life rather than hope alone.

Bespoke treatment packages

Bespoke treatment is for people who don’t fit neatly into fixed programmes. Care is shaped around your history, risks and priorities, with therapy, support and pace adjusted as treatment progresses. This approach suits those who need flexibility without losing structure, ensuring the time spent in rehab is genuinely relevant to their situation.

Which rehab package is right for me?

different aspects to each package, and sometimes, too many options can become the main problem. Many people find that once they slow down and ask the right questions, the answer starts to take shape on its own.

The sections below are designed to help you recognise where you might fit, without forcing a decision before you’re ready.

How to use this decision tree: Read the first question. If this applies to you, then find the recommendation under ‘We recommend’. If the question doesn’t apply to you, move on to the next section. Keep doing this until you find one that matches your situation. It doesn’t need to match your situation perfectly, but if one makes more sense than the other, it’s a good starting point.

1. Do you feel unsure whether rehab is necessary but know something needs to change?

  • You’re still functioning on the surface
  • You haven’t hit a clear crisis point
  • You want clarity more than commitment

We recommend: 10-day rehab package

Why?

  • A short intervention designed to stabilise and help you decide what comes next without pressure.
  • If change feels necessary but short support feels too limited

2. Do you feel ready to engage with treatment but worry that a very brief stay wouldn’t be enough?

  • You want time for therapy to settle
  • Emotional patterns start to appear once things slow down
  • You need a pause long enough to reflect properly

We recommend: 14-day rehab package

Why?

  • Offers a wider therapeutic window while still fitting around real-life responsibilities.
  • If addiction has started shaping daily life

3. Has your behaviour been present long enough to affect routines, relationships or emotional regulation?

  • Short breaks haven’t held
  • Patterns repeat once you return home
  • You need time to work through causes, not just symptoms

We recommend: 28-day rehab package

Why?

  • Provides space for deeper therapy, repetition and behavioural change to begin taking root.
  • If previous attempts haven’t lasted

4. Does addiction feel deeply ingrained, despite efforts to stop or cut back?

  • Relapse has become familiar
  • Life outside treatment feels overwhelming
  • You need time to rebuild stability properly

We recommend: 90-day rehab package

Why?

  • Allows recovery to unfold gradually, with structure, therapy and future planning working together.
  • If none of the above quite fit

5. Do fixed timeframes feel restrictive or does your situation feel more complex?

  • You need flexibility around therapy intensity
  • Mental health, trauma or life responsibilities shape your needs
  • One-size approaches haven’t worked before

We recommend: Bespoke treatment package

Why?

  • Care is shaped around you rather than the calendar, allowing treatment to adapt as insight develops.

If you’re feeling like none of the options fit your needs, the next step is to reach out to the professionals. They can guide you on your next steps and try to shed some light on an already dark situation.

I’m still feeling overwhelmed over the options – What can I do?

Feeling overwhelmed at this stage is very common. When you’re trying to make decisions about rehab, it can be hard to separate what you actually need from what feels expected or urgent. If the options are starting to blur together, speaking with someone can help bring things back into focus.

Our team is here to talk things through with you, without pressure or assumptions. They take the time to understand what you’re dealing with, what’s already been tried and what feels manageable right now. Rather than pushing you toward a particular package, the aim is to help you understand your options clearly and work out what level of support would genuinely suit your situation. Contact us today to see what would best suit you. You don’t need to have all the answers before reaching out. A conversation can be the first step in turning uncertainty into a plan that feels supportive and right for where you are now.
