Addiction rehab provider extends portfolio with acquisition

Linwood House, Barnsley, South Yorkshire

The UK Addiction Treatment Group (UKAT) has completed a deal to buy Linwood House Treatment Centre from the Care Plus Group in Barnsley, South Yorkshire.

Financial terms have not been disclosed. 

Following this acquisition, UKAT now operates eight treatment centres across England, with Linwood House being its first facility in South Yorkshire. 

UKAT operates centres in Essex, West Sussex, Surrey, Bedfordshire, Bradford, Runcorn, Oxfordshire and now South Yorkshire. 

The Grade Two listed building will undergo extensive refurbishment before opening and will treat all types of addiction and mental health disorders as well as behavioural and eating disorders. 

Eytan Alexander and Daniel Gerrard, Joint Managing Directors for the UKAT Group, said: ‘We’re thrilled to have added Linwood House to our portfolio of residential rehab facilities. 

‘Those suffering with addiction have faced years of council budget cuts to treatment services and countless public rehabs closing their doors to them in their time of need. 

‘Instead, we’re making this investment to ensure that we can continue to treat as many people who need our help as we possibly can, providing world-class care at all times.’
