Their abstinence-based, evidence-based treatment follows 12-Step philosophy and incorporates individual therapy and group therapy. Complementary therapies include equine therapy, creative writing, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy. They offer trauma-informed therapy, eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR), and PTSD-specific therapy.
Smarmore Castle offers a robust family programme and intervention services with a trained interventionist. Their aftercare includes a comprehensive 24-week programme, offering individual and group therapy sessions, relapse prevention planning, skill building, support network integration, and a holistic wellness focus. Services cater to improving mental and physical health, providing accountability through routine check-ins and peer support, and improving life quality and relationships. Additional services like sober transport and retreats are also available, with the aim to support a smooth transition from rehab to everyday life.
Built in the 14th century, Smarmore Castle’s mansion has retained many of its original features. Since it was purchased by the McCanns, it’s been fully renovated to fulfill all necessary requirements of a leading treatment center in Ireland. Smarmore Castle delivers a full holistic package that includes dietary assessments and nutritional counseling, swimming, aqua aerobics fitness, and yoga. Private rooms are available for an additional cost. They are the only rehab clinic in Ireland to have a swimming pool, sauna, steam room, and gym. Spa services include acupuncture, aromatherapy, and massage. Smarmore Castle additionally undergoes rigorous inspections by CHKS, an independent quality improvement inspectorate. The most recent CHKS inspection reported that Smarmore Castle has an “amazing setting”, “impressive, spacious and clean” and “exceptionally high standards of care and excellent facilities.”

Choosing the right treatment facility is one of the most important decisions in the recovery journey. Research published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) shows that treatment duration, therapeutic approach, and aftercare planning are the three strongest predictors of long-term sobriety.

Smarmore Castle Private Clinic offers 3 distinct levels of care, allowing patients to step through treatment intensities as they progress. This continuum-of-care model — moving from higher to lower intensity — is recommended by SAMHSA as the gold standard for addiction treatment.

The facility utilizes 9 evidence-based therapeutic modalities. According to NIDA research, combination therapy approaches that integrate behavioral interventions (such as 1-on-1 Counseling and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) with holistic support show significantly improved outcomes compared to single-modality programs.

Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, most commercial insurance plans are required to cover substance abuse treatment. Smarmore Castle Private Clinic works with 24 insurance providers. Call (833) 567-5838 to verify your specific coverage and learn about out-of-pocket costs before admission.
