What we help you compare
A reassuring website or an attractive setting is only part of the picture. These are the questions worth working through.
The treatment provider makes its own clinical assessment and admission decision. IRN does not diagnose or prescribe.
Ask for a dated written breakdown. We explain any relevant referral or commercial relationship before you decide.
The plan should reflect the person’s needs and the provider’s recommendations. It is worth discussing before admission.
How we work with you
We clarify the situation, compare suitable options, explain relevant provider relationships and support practical admission planning while the selected provider retains responsibility for clinical assessment and care.
Assess urgency, risk, substance use history, mental health needs, family context, and practical requirements.
Match needs against trusted providers, considering clinical fit, location, budget, length of stay, and environment.
Help coordinate communication, availability, documentation, travel considerations, and family questions.
Consider aftercare, online support, relapse prevention, and ongoing recovery structure.
UK & international options
Location is one part of a treatment decision. We help you consider the care available, practicalities, privacy, family access and the total cost.
IRN does not own or operate treatment facilities. Suitability and admission remain the provider’s responsibility.
Compare destination guide costsBefore you proceed, we explain the scope and cost of IRN’s support, the provider’s separate fees and any relevant commercial or referral relationship.
You can ask whether a provider would pay IRN for a placement and whether that affects the price you pay.
Before we speak
Yes. Families can ask for guidance about their own concerns before their adult relative agrees to treatment. Please do not send another person’s medical records with an initial enquiry.
No. You can begin with the questions you have now. IRN can help you understand what to consider before choosing a provider.
No. An enquiry does not book an appointment, reserve a treatment place or commit you to a service. The scope and fees of any proposed support should be agreed before you proceed.
Take a closer look
Explore costs, clinical considerations and practical guides in your own time. You can ask us about any of these areas.
A starting point, not a recommendation. The right destination depends on clinical need, detox and mental-health risk, budget and family circumstances. All costs are typical guide ranges only.
Guide ranges only. Actual costs depend on the facility, length of stay, level of medical care required and accommodation. Where detox is needed, withdrawal risk must be assessed before any placement or travel.
Placement guidance can help when detox, residential care, repeated relapse, complex mental-health needs or an urgent but non-emergency transition requires a suitable regulated provider.
Our self-assessments can help you reflect on your situation. They do not replace a medical assessment or determine whether withdrawal is safe.
Insight Recovery Network provides private treatment guidance. The treatment provider makes its own clinical assessment and admission decision and remains responsible for the care it delivers.
Before you proceed, we explain the scope and cost of IRN's support, the treatment provider's separate charges, and any relevant commercial or referral relationship. Ask us whether a provider would pay IRN for your placement and whether this affects the price you pay. You can also ask how the options being discussed were selected and which alternatives may be appropriate.
Request a written breakdown of your proposed costs and read our services and pricing guide. A general guide is not a quotation for your care.

We first clarify the person's needs, risks, preferences, location and budget. We then explain suitable detox or residential options and support the practical steps towards admission; the treatment provider remains responsible for its own clinical assessment and care.
No. We provide guidance on options in the UK and selected international destinations including South Africa, Spain, Thailand and Sri Lanka. The right location depends on safety, treatment needs, travel, family involvement and affordability.
We do not provide or prescribe detox. Where medically assisted withdrawal may be needed, we help people identify an appropriately regulated provider and encourage assessment by a qualified medical professional.
Fees depend on the assessment and level of placement support required. Before you proceed, we explain the scope and cost of IRN's support, the treatment provider's separate charges, and any relevant commercial or referral relationship. Ask whether a provider would pay IRN for your placement, whether this affects the price you pay, how the options were selected and which alternatives may be appropriate. Request a written cost breakdown and read our services and pricing guide; a general guide is not a quotation for your care.
We can prioritise time-sensitive enquiries and help clarify safe next steps, but IRN is not an emergency or crisis service. If someone is medically unstable, at immediate risk, suicidal, violent or experiencing severe withdrawal, call 999, attend A&E or seek urgent NHS advice before placement planning.
