Priory Clinic Edinburgh
Edinburgh, Scotland
Private outpatient mental health therapy in Edinburgh.
Local treatment guide
Private rehab & treatment in Edinburgh.
Edinburgh residents can compare private city-centre therapy with hospital or residential services elsewhere in Scotland. The guide distinguishes an outpatient clinic in the city from residential treatment in the Scottish Borders.
Understanding your local options
Castle Craig is near West Linton, not in central Edinburgh. That distinction matters if you need regular visits, family involvement or a plan for returning to work.
Practical planning for Edinburgh
The Edinburgh clinic is outpatient; Castle Craig is in the Scottish Borders and Abbeycare in Erskine. Ask which setting meets the assessed need and how treatment would continue in Edinburgh after a stay.

Which level of care are you comparing?
| Care model | Useful questions |
|---|---|
| Outpatient or day care | Who is the clinician, how often would I attend and what support exists between appointments? |
| Residential rehabilitation | What does the programme include, where does any detox happen and how is aftercare arranged near home? |
| Hospital care | Which department and consultant are responsible, and what medical or nursing support is provided? |
Costs, referral and follow-up
Ask whether you can enquire directly or need a referral, which assessment comes first and whether the service can coordinate with your existing clinicians. Request a complete written quote before comparing accommodation or headline weekly fees.
For insurance-funded care, confirm authorisation and exclusions with your insurer. If you travel for treatment, agree the return-to-home plan, prescription responsibility and follow-up appointments before admission.
Local and public support
Use Scottish health-service information and local support routes alongside private options. An English referral rule or CQC rating should not be assumed to apply to a Scottish service.

Check the actual service
Registration applies to the specific service and regulated activity. Check the relevant register and professional credentials; a brand name is not a rating for every branch.
