About

Castle Craig is a private residential rehabilitation centre located in the Scottish Borders. Castle Craig has provided addiction treatment for over 35 years. The facility is set in a beautiful, rural area of Scotland, offering a peaceful and serene environment that promotes healing and recovery. Since its creation in 1988, Castle Craig has treated thousands of patients from all over the world, and the facility has gained a reputation as one of the leading rehab centres in Europe. Castle Craig offers a range of treatment programs, including detoxification, residential rehabilitation, medically managed detox from alcohol or drugs, aftercare, and family programs. They provide personalised treatment plans that are tailored to each patient's specific needs, as they understand that addiction affects everyone differently. The centre's highly trained staff includes addiction therapists, psychiatrists, doctors, nurses, recovery advocates, personal trainers and support staff, who work together to ensure that patients receive the best possible care. The centre's approach to addiction treatment is holistic, meaning they focus on treating the whole person, not just their addiction. They offer a variety of therapeutic approaches, including cognitive behavioural therapy, 12 Step facilitation, trauma-informed therapy and DBT. Additionally, they incorporate alternative therapies such as yoga, fitness and music to help patients heal and recover.
