Castle Craig Hospital

Castle Craig is a world-renowned private residential addiction treatment hospital set on a 50-acre woodland estate in the Scottish Borders. Founded in 1988, it was the UK's first private residential rehab clinic. Still family-owned and operated, Castle Craig has treated over 10,000 patients across more than 35 years. The center employs an abstinence-based treatment model grounded in 12-Step principles, combined with evidence-based clinical therapies including CBT, EMDR, DBT, and medically supervised detoxification led by consultant psychiatrists. With a 73% long-term abstinence rate and a 98% patient satisfaction score, Castle Craig is recognized internationally for clinical excellence. The secluded countryside setting — just 40 minutes from Edinburgh airport — provides privacy and tranquility while offering comprehensive facilities.
