Recovery Lighthouse

What Recovery Lighthouse does

Recovery Lighthouse is a CQC-regulated residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation centre located in Worthing, West Sussex, UK, operating as one of 9 wholly-owned clinics within UKAT Group Limited (UK Addiction Treatment), a private limited company that positions itself as the UK's leading addiction treatment provider with over 12 years of operating history. The facility has 13 ensuite rooms and delivers a clinical programme that combines medically supervised detoxification, evidence-based therapies (DBT, CBT, individual and group therapy, family therapy, trauma therapy via TF-CBT and EMDR), 12-step facilitation, and holistic approaches such as yoga, mindfulness, art therapy, and nutrition. Service lines extend beyond core substance addiction to behavioural addictions, eating disorders, dual diagnosis, and home detox, and a 90-day comprehensive programme is offered with a '90-Day Promise' under which clients who relapse within 30 days of completion can return for a complimentary 28-day retreat. A full year of aftercare is included at no extra cost, supported by the UKAT Alumni Network.

The business model is predominantly B2C private pay, supplemented by a funding channel through a partnership with AXA private health insurance. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, varying with programme length and clinical complexity. Go-to-market relies on an in-house admissions team running a three-step consultative process (assessment, option guidance, admission), a content and SEO-heavy website with help guides and screening tools (CAGE, DAST-10), an organic social presence, a podcast, and a custom GPT assistant on top of ChatGPT. Revenue and headcount figures are not publicly disclosed; the entity is listed with 1-10 employees, which appears to reflect the on-site clinical complement rather than the full UKAT corporate workforce. The unit is therefore best understood as a clinically capable, brand-supported inpatient asset within a multi-site UK rehab group, rather than an independent technology-enabled business.

• Bupa Health Services: Large UK private healthcare group with health insurance, hospitals and mental health services. Acts as both a potential payor (insurer) and a broader incumbent in the private addiction treatment space, competing for corporate and insured clients.

Emerging players

• Kusnacht Practice: Premium boutique residential addiction and mental health treatment provider in Switzerland with strong UK and international private-pay clientele. Comparable in outcome-led positioning, personalised programmes and ultra-premium pricing, but operates a different jurisdiction.
