About Bayberry
What is Bayberry Rehab?
Bayberry is a specialist private residential rehab clinic set in the Warwickshire countryside. It provides bespoke, clinically led treatment for addiction, co-occurring mental health difficulties, prescription drug dependency and behavioural addictions. Bayberry offers two distinct residential treatment experiences: the Manor Programme and the Cottage Group Plus Programme. Both programmes are delivered by the same clinical team to the same standard of medical and therapeutic care.
Where is Bayberry located?
Bayberry is situated in a private countryside setting in Warwickshire. Both the Manor House and the Cottages are on the same site, accessed by arrangement. There is no external signage. The clinic is well connected to rail links and nearby motorways, and is approximately 30 minutes from Birmingham International Airport.
Is Bayberry part of the UKAT Group?
Yes. Bayberry Rehab is now part of the UKAT Group, one of the UK’s leading networks of private addiction and mental health treatment providers. Clients who complete their programme at Bayberry also gain access to the UKAT alumni network as part of their ongoing aftercare.
What does Bayberry treat?
Bayberry provides residential treatment for alcohol addiction, drug addiction (including cocaine, cannabis, heroin, ketamine and others), prescription drug dependency (including benzodiazepines, opioids and sleeping pills), behavioural addictions (including gambling, pornography, and sex and love addiction), and co-occurring mental health difficulties including anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, stress and burnout, OCD and mood disorders.
Is Bayberry suitable for people with both addiction and mental health difficulties?
Yes. Many of the people Bayberry supports have both an addiction and a co-occurring mental health difficulty. These often develop together and need to be addressed together. Bayberry’s bespoke programmes are specifically designed to treat both simultaneously, with integrated therapeutic and clinical support throughout the stay.
Admissions and Getting Help
How do I get help from Bayberry?
Getting in touch does not require a referral, a formal decision or any prior commitment. You can call the admissions team directly or submit an online enquiry. A member of the team will be in touch the same day where possible to have a confidential conversation, understand the situation and explain what treatment options may be suitable.
Do I need a GP referral?
No. Self-referrals are welcome, as are family referrals and professional referrals. You do not need to have seen a GP or any other healthcare professional before contacting Bayberry. The admissions process begins with a conversation, and the team will guide you through everything from there.
Can I contact Bayberry on behalf of a loved one?
Absolutely. Many of the enquiries Bayberry receives come from family members, partners, friends or colleagues who are worried about someone close to them. The admissions team can speak with you in complete confidence, help you understand what treatment options are available, and advise on how to approach the conversation with the person you care about, even if they are not yet ready to seek help themselves.
How quickly can someone be admitted?
Bayberry can often arrange admission within a very short timeframe, sometimes on the same day or the next day, subject to clinical assessment and room availability. Admissions are available seven days a week. The admissions team will always try to accommodate urgent situations as quickly as possible.
What does the admissions assessment involve?
The initial assessment is a confidential conversation, usually by telephone, covering the person’s history with addiction or mental health difficulties, their physical health, any current medications, previous treatment experience and what they are hoping to achieve. It is not a test. Its purpose is to understand the situation well enough to recommend the most appropriate programme and ensure Bayberry can meet the person’s clinical needs safely.
Bayberry Manor and Bayberry Cottages
What is the difference between Bayberry Manor and Bayberry Cottages?
Bayberry Manor and Bayberry Cottages are two separate residential treatment experiences on the same site. The Manor Programme is a highly private, entirely one-to-one programme set in a Grade II listed Manor House, accommodating a maximum of four clients at any time. The Cottage Group Plus Programme is a premium structured group programme with added one-to-one therapy, set in four cottages arranged around a courtyard garden. The quality of medical and therapeutic care is the same across both programmes. The difference lies in the environment, therapy format, accommodation, level of privacy, service style and overall experience.
Is the Manor Programme entirely one-to-one?
Yes. There is no group therapy at the Manor. All therapy is individual and one-to-one. Manor clients receive three hours of individual therapy per weekday, delivered by qualified psychotherapists. The programme is built entirely around the individual, with no shared sessions and complete privacy throughout the stay.
Does the Cottages Programme include one-to-one therapy?
Yes. While the Cottages Programme is structured around a weekday group therapy timetable, it also includes three one-to-one therapy sessions per week and one fitness or planning session per week. The combination of group and individual therapy is a core part of the Cottages therapeutic model.
Is the quality of clinical care different between Manor and Cottages?
No. The quality of medical and therapeutic care is the same across both programmes. All psychotherapists at Bayberry are educated to a minimum of Masters degree level, and their qualifications are published transparently on the website. The price difference between programmes reflects the environment, the level of privacy, the service style, the accommodation and the therapy format, not the clinical standard of care.
How does Bayberry decide which programme is most suitable?
The admissions team will discuss both options openly and help identify which programme best suits the person’s individual needs, preferences and circumstances. In some cases, Bayberry may recommend one programme over another based on clinical assessment. For example, someone who would benefit most from intensive one-to-one support and complete privacy may be better suited to the Manor, while someone who responds well to structured routine and peer support may benefit more from the Cottages. The admissions team will explain their thinking clearly.
Treatment and Detox
Does Bayberry offer detox?
Yes. Where medically assisted detox is required, it is managed safely within the residential programme under clinical supervision. A doctor-led assessment on admission establishes whether detox is required and what medical management is appropriate. Prescribed medications relevant to treatment are included in the programme fee.
Is detox always required?
Not necessarily. Whether detox is required depends on the substance involved, the level and duration of use, and the individual’s physical health. Some forms of dependency do not require pharmacological detox. The admissions assessment and doctor review on admission will establish what is needed and how the first phase of treatment will be managed.
What types of addiction does Bayberry treat?
Bayberry treats alcohol addiction, drug addiction (including cocaine, cannabis, heroin, crack cocaine, ketamine, crystal meth, hallucinogens and steroids), prescription drug dependency (including benzodiazepines, opioids, sleeping pills and stimulants) and behavioural addictions (including gambling, pornography, and sex and love addiction).
Does Bayberry treat prescription drug dependency?
Yes. Bayberry has experience supporting people who have developed a dependency on prescribed medications, including benzodiazepines, opioids and sleeping pills. Where a supervised reduction or detox is required, this is managed clinically within the residential programme. Prescription drug dependency carries its own specific risks and requires careful medical management, which Bayberry’s clinical team is equipped to provide.
Does Bayberry treat behavioural addictions?
Yes. Bayberry provides residential treatment for behavioural addictions including gambling, pornography and sex and love addiction. These are treated with the same bespoke, clinically led approach as substance addictions, with individual therapy addressing the psychological patterns that drive compulsive behaviour.
Does Bayberry support mental health alongside addiction?
Yes. Mental health difficulties and addiction frequently co-occur and are addressed together throughout treatment. Bayberry’s programme integrates clinical and therapeutic support for anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, stress and burnout, OCD, mood disorders and other presentations where these sit alongside or interact with addiction.
What therapies are used at Bayberry?
Bayberry uses a bespoke combination of evidence-based therapeutic approaches, which may include cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), one-to-one psychotherapy, family therapy, holistic therapies, creative workshops, relapse prevention planning and mood management work. The programme is tailored to the individual rather than following a fixed formula.
Daily Life During Treatment
What is daily life like at Bayberry?
Daily life at Bayberry is structured around therapy, rest and wellbeing. Weekdays include therapy sessions, individual appointments with clinical staff and time for meals, socialising and personal activities. From 3.30pm to 5.30pm each day, Bayberry runs an on-site coffee shop with freshly made cakes and snacks where clients can socialise informally. Evenings and weekends involve support staff, creative activities, films, board games and, where appropriate, excursions and visits.
What food is provided during treatment?
Both programmes include chef-prepared meals. Lunch is served at 1pm and dinner at 6pm each day. Dietary requirements are always catered for. Snacks are available throughout the day and evening. The daily coffee shop provides cakes and barista-style drinks each afternoon.
Are meals different in Manor and Cottages?
Yes. Manor clients receive a fully bespoke chef-prepared menu tailored entirely to their preferences. Clients consult with the chef on arrival and can order anything they wish for each meal, from a full English breakfast and smoked salmon bagels to specific cuts of steak and three-course dinners. Meals can be served in the dining room, lounge, garden or bedroom. Cottage clients receive chef-prepared lunches and dinners from a chef’s menu, with dietary requirements catered. Self-service continental breakfast is provided on weekdays, with a full cooked breakfast on Saturdays and a continental tray on Sundays.
Can clients bring phones and laptops?
Yes. Clients at Bayberry are welcome to bring and use their phone, laptop and other devices throughout their stay. Photography, filming and recording on site are not permitted, but there are no restrictions on personal use, calls, messages or work-related activity. Wi-Fi is available throughout.
Can clients smoke or vape?
Yes. Smoking and vaping are permitted outside, away from entrances and windows. Smoking cessation support is available for those who would like it.
Can clients bring pets?
Pets are not permitted on site. However, staff can accompany clients to meet friends locally if they would like to spend time with their pet, or for local walks.

Visitors, Phones and Privacy
Can family members visit during treatment?
Yes. Visitors are welcomed at Bayberry, subject to prior arrangement. All visits must be pre-arranged with the clinical team and will generally be scheduled to avoid therapy time. Visitors must vacate the site by 9pm. Children under 18 may only visit as the client’s own child, accompanied by a responsible adult guardian throughout.
Are visitor arrangements different between Manor and Cottages?
Yes. Manor clients enjoy unlimited and flexible visiting by arrangement, including the option to share meals and afternoon tea with their guests at no additional cost. A private space is provided for visits. Cottage clients can arrange weekend visits by prior agreement. Meals for Cottage visitors are not included as standard. If flexible visiting and guest dining are important, the Manor Programme is the more suitable option.
Is treatment at Bayberry confidential?
Yes. Bayberry is a private residential clinic and confidentiality is fundamental to everything it does. Information shared during assessment and throughout treatment is handled with the highest level of discretion and is not disclosed outside the clinical team without explicit consent. Where required, Bayberry can provide letters confirming admission or engagement with treatment, for example for legal or court purposes.
Does Bayberry have external signage?
No. There is no external signage at Bayberry to identify it as a treatment centre. The setting is private and discreet. The Manor House has never been identified by the press. Clients who need directions are given them privately. This level of discretion is a core part of what Bayberry offers, particularly for clients with high-profile responsibilities or specific privacy requirements.
Can clients continue with work or business responsibilities during treatment?
Yes, where clinically appropriate. Manor clients in particular can have therapy sessions structured around business responsibilities, receive visits from lawyers or business partners in a private space, and use chauffeur transport to essential meetings where needed (with a staff member, at cost and by local arrangement). Wi-Fi and all devices are permitted throughout the stay.
Private Fees and Insurance
How much does treatment at Bayberry cost?
Bayberry does not present its programmes as fixed-price products. Private fees depend on the programme chosen, the room type, the length of stay, the level of service, privacy requirements and clinical needs. The admissions team will explain the most suitable options clearly before any decision is made. There is no obligation to proceed after an initial conversation.
Why are private fees discussed individually rather than published?
Because Bayberry’s treatment is genuinely bespoke. Every person’s needs, circumstances and programme are different. Discussing fees directly with the admissions team ensures that the most appropriate programme is recommended for the right reasons, and that the person understands exactly what is and is not included before making any commitment.
What affects the cost of treatment?
The main factors that affect the cost of treatment are the programme chosen (Manor or Cottages), the room selected, the length of stay, and whether any additional services are required. Longer stays are often available at a discount equivalent to receiving additional weeks at a reduced rate. The admissions team can explain the options clearly.
Does Bayberry accept private health insurance?
Bayberry works with private health insurers in some cases. Whether a specific policy covers residential rehab, and to what extent, depends on the insurer and the policy terms. The admissions team can help explore insurance options and advise on what information your insurer is likely to require. Please get in touch to discuss your specific situation.
Aftercare and Ongoing Support
Is aftercare included?
Yes. Bayberry provides five years of free aftercare to all clients who successfully complete their residential programme. This includes twice-weekly live online group sessions led by Bayberry’s support team, providing continued connection, accountability and professional guidance throughout the early years of recovery.
How long does aftercare last?
Free aftercare runs for five years as a minimum. For clients who become regular participants in the aftercare community, Bayberry will extend this indefinitely at no charge. Community guidelines around respect, behaviour and abstinence are maintained throughout.
What is the UKAT alumni network?
The UKAT alumni network is an ongoing peer community for people who have completed residential treatment within the UKAT Group, which includes Bayberry. It provides long-term peer support, connection and shared experience across a wider recovery community, alongside Bayberry’s own aftercare provision.
What happens if someone needs more support after treatment?
Individual outpatient therapy sessions can be arranged after discharge, at separate cost. The admissions team can help identify appropriate ongoing support depending on the person’s needs following residential treatment. Bayberry is also able to support clients who return for additional residential treatment in the future, whether for a new issue, relapse support or a period of respite.
Can treatment be paused or extended?
Yes to both. A client can pause treatment at any time for any reason. When treatment is paused, the room is released and the remaining time is banked. This can be used by readmission within 12 months of discharge. If a further detox is required on return, a nominal additional charge will apply. Clients can also extend their stay at any time. Bayberry has no maximum length of stay, and some clients have remained for many months. Extensions are best arranged as early as possible, as rooms can be booked quickly.

How to Take the Next Step
What should I do if I am unsure whether Bayberry is right?
Call or contact the admissions team. A conversation is not a commitment. The team is experienced in helping people at every stage of thinking, from those who are ready to admit immediately to those who are still unsure whether they need treatment or which kind of setting might suit them. There is no pressure and no obligation at the enquiry stage.
What happens after I make an enquiry?
A member of the admissions team will be in touch the same day where possible to have a confidential conversation. They will take the time to understand the situation, answer questions and explain what Bayberry can offer. If appropriate, they will carry out an initial telephone assessment at a time that suits. From there, if everyone is in agreement that Bayberry is the right fit, the team will discuss practical arrangements and next steps.
Can I arrange a visit to Bayberry before committing?
In some circumstances, yes. The admissions team can advise on whether a visit is appropriate given the current situation and room availability. Please mention that you would like to arrange a visit when you get in touch.
