We Understand Addiction - and We Know How to Treat It
Recovery begins with understanding. At Abbington House, we recognise that addiction is rarely just about substances – but about pain, patterns and the need to feel safe again.
Our programmes are built around that insight. We combine medical expertise with psychological and emotional support, helping clients rebuild health, self-belief and connection. Each treatment plan is individually designed to address the physical, mental and spiritual aspects of recovery.
Behind our work is a multidisciplinary team of clinicians, therapists, and peer-support professionals – many of whom have lived experience of addiction themselves. Their empathy and expertise create a therapeutic environment where honesty is met with understanding and every step forward is celebrated.
