What clients say about The Wellbourne Clinic
Residential alcohol treatment at our Kenilworth clinic
Residential treatment means staying at the clinic during your programme. We accept adults aged 18–65, subject to assessment of whether we can meet their treatment needs. The clinic has private bedrooms and space for up to six clients.
Medical care is provided by Dr Naheem Bashir, the clinic’s GP, with staff available 24 hours a day to support clients.
The clinic is registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC). Explore our facilities and team before discussing your needs with us.
Arranging treatment from Birmingham
You can contact us directly about your own drinking or on behalf of someone close to you. An enquiry is the start of a conversation, not a guarantee of admission. Assessment considers your health, alcohol use and treatment needs.
Seven-day, 28-day and six-week residential stays are available. We recommend an appropriate duration following assessment and discuss the treatment plan with you.
Same-day admission may be available, subject to assessment and bed availability. Before making travel plans, confirm the admission arrangements and what to bring with the team.
If you may be dependent on alcohol, suddenly stopping can be dangerous. Get professional medical advice before attempting to stop. Read the NHS advice on alcohol support.
Travelling from Birmingham to Kenilworth
Travel arrangements vary across Birmingham: a journey from the city centre may differ from one starting in an outer neighbourhood. The destination is 43 Waverley Road in Kenilworth. Check a current route for your own starting point, including any public-transport connections, and discuss arrival arrangements before booking travel.
Treatment address: The Wellbourne Clinic, 43 Waverley Road, Kenilworth, Warwickshire, CV8 1JL.
Use directions to the clinic to plan your journey. Journey times vary. Speak to the team before travelling if you have accessibility needs or need to discuss support with arrival; please confirm any transport or collection arrangements with the team before booking.
Understanding alcohol rehab and detox
Rehab focuses on the psychological and behavioural aspects of alcohol use through therapy, practical coping skills and recovery planning. Alcohol detox addresses physical withdrawal where needed. Not everyone requires detox before rehab; this is assessed individually.
Medication may be recommended following assessment where a clinician considers it appropriate. Treatment and monitoring help manage risk, but withdrawal is not risk-free. Speak to a qualified clinician about withdrawal rather than trying to manage it yourself.
Read about our residential alcohol rehab programme and alcohol detox service for a fuller explanation of assessment and care.
Therapy and support during a residential stay
Our treatment approach includes one-to-one counselling, group work and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), alongside activities supporting wellbeing. Your programme is based on assessed needs rather than every person following an identical timetable.
Ask the team how the treatment approach would fit your proposed stay. The detailed treatment information is on our main alcohol rehab page.
Support when returning to Birmingham
Aftercare includes follow-ups and Zoom meetings. Discuss your ongoing support needs with the team before leaving residential treatment.
If you are returning to Birmingham, consider the support available near home alongside your agreed continuing-care plan. Independent peer-support meetings and local services are separate from the clinic’s own aftercare. Recovery outcomes vary; no programme can guarantee that relapse will not happen.
