Getting there
6.5 miles from Coventry — about 15 minutes
A429 and A46 south from the city, then into Kenilworth — around 15 minutes outside peak times.
Close enough that family can come to therapy sessions without an overnight stay, and that aftercare afterwards is local rather than a phone relationship with a clinic two hundred miles away. Far enough to be a genuine break from the routine and the people attached to the drinking.
Local context
Coventry and alcohol
Coventry has the highest alcohol-specific hospital admission rate of any authority in this catchment — 982.7 per 100,000 against an England average of 611.7. It also has lower opiate treatment completion than England. More harm, and worse outcomes for people who do reach treatment.
Whatever the local figures say, dependence does not distribute itself neatly by postcode. Areas with low recorded harm are often areas where people are managing at home and never reaching a service — which is a different problem from not having one.
If you are weighing up what to do, every route available locally is set out here — free, council-funded and private, with honest timescales. And if you are drinking heavily every day, read about withdrawal first. Stopping safely comes before everything else.

Treatment
What private treatment involves
Residential treatment usually begins with a medically managed detox, then moves into therapeutic work — individual and group sessions examining what sits underneath the drinking or drug use, and building something to replace it.
