Margaret McCann

Spear’s Review

After moving to Scotland in 1988, Dr Margaret McCann and her husband, Peter, founded Castle Craig, an addiction centre located outside of Edinburgh. 

Nearly four decades later, Castle Craig is now one of the leading addiction treatment clinics in Europe, with over 10,000 patients having undergone recovery at the centre.

Known for her advancement of the use of clonidine for opioid withdrawal in the UK, McCann is world renowned in the detoxification and treatment programme space.

At Castle Craig, patients and their families have access to holistic care, where physical, mental and spiritual health is prioritised. The impeccable standards in staff care, paired with the latest knowledge in medical advancements, create an environment where patients are empowered to live a meaningful life in recovery.
