About Smarmore Castle Private Clinic

Smarmore Castle Private Clinic is a leading rehabilitation centre located in County Louth, Ireland. Set within the tranquil and historic grounds of a 14th-century castle, the clinic provides evidence-based treatments for individuals seeking recovery from addiction. With a multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals, Smarmore Castle offers a welcoming and supportive environment designed to facilitate long-lasting recovery and personal growth.

Peter and Dr Margaret Ann McCann founded Smarmore Castle after the success of their first treatment centres, Clouds House (1983) and Castle Craig (1988).

The model of treatment offered at Smarmore Castle uses 12 Step facilitation with cognitive behavioural therapy and a trauma-informed approach.

Patients at Smarmore Castle are under the care of a highly experienced medical and therapy team. We provide detoxification onsite under the care of our medical team including a consultant psychiatrist and experienced nursing team.

In addition to the treatment itself, Smarmore Castle also offers expansive facilities with a 22-metre swimming pool, a spacious sprung-floor gym, a steam room and a sauna.

With treatment options for a wide ranging of addictions including alcohol, drugs and gambling, the team offer a range of therapy options along side medically managed detox regimes; creating a holistic and successful treatment modality, all which takes place within calming and peaceful surroundings.

My time at Smarmore Castle has really changed how I look at life. When I arrived, I felt like I was caught in a cycle I couldn't get out of no matter what I did... but with the support, structure and care I found here I've been able to rebuild myself in ways I never thought I'd manage. The therapy and guidance helped me understand myself in new way and bit by bit I started to appreciate the small things in life again like my amazing family, health, friends, the small things. Smarmore gave me the space and the support to see that life is worth so much more than a quick high and I'm leaving with a fresh outlook and hope I'll always be grateful for what the team here have done for me and the part it played in helping me turn things around.

Caring, supportive staff, a home from home in an old castle which has been refurbished with top facilities. It’s a lovely place to begin therapy after years of chaos.

I spent 4 weeks in Smarmore treatment recently. Having been in other treatment centres previously, I can say Smarmore was by far the best standard of care I have received. The staff are highly skilled at what they do, friendly and empathetic.

The experience of the programme I had at Smarmore Castle was life changing for me. If anyone is looking for a rehab treatment experience for themselves or a family member this is the place to go in Ireland. The level of professionalism at Smarmore, the quality of care and the hospitality such as bedrooms, big swimming pool, quiet countryside surroundings, were very high quality and just what I needed.

My experience was absolutely amazing. I was met with hope the second I arrived and I firmly believe that’s why I still sober today. The staff are amazing, you are treated like a patient and not looked down on. The facilities are 5 star as is the whole atmosphere. I hope to return some day to share my experience and owe my life to Smarmore

I recently completed a four week programme and from the very second I walked in to Smarmore Castle, I was made feel at ease very quickly and throughout my whole stay, all of the staff made me feel very welcome. The treatment programme itself is intense but it has made the world of difference for me and for my loved ones and I very much owe my new found self, to the wonderful care and work with the staff from the Animals to the Therapists in Smarmore Castle.
