EXCELLENT Based on 47 reviews Ian Clancy2025-09-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent food, excellent staff. Excellent accommodation. The therapy that I received with yevegiaia the therapist has changed my life. I have drank alcohol since I was a child and this is the first time in my life I have not wanted to drink. Even though I have been successful in all other areas in my life, Abbington house made me understand my Alcoholism and I feel positive for the future without alcohol. My family are happy with who I have become after the 8 weeks I have been here. Thank you Abbington team from my family and from me for changing my life. Alex Georgi2025-09-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very good people and place. It's self-evident that those who work here do so because they believe in what they do, and serve from their deep personal experiences with addiction and a will to give to others what was given to them. This is a 12-Step-based institution, dedicated to carrying the message to addicts of all kinds who have a will to recover. That said, the therapies offered are varied and far-reaching, with care and attention given to individual needs and to keeping a safe, productive environment. The location is beautiful, calm and pristine, and the food is delicious, plentiful, and organically sourced wherever possible. I cannot recommend this place enough for those seeking a new life and hope. Liz Broughton2025-09-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

If you need help this is the place to get it. X user2025-08-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My time at Abbington House saved not only my life but gave my children back their mum. Whilst the Therapists dealt with my emotional and physical needs through not only 121 sessions, but amazon group sessions, Marion fed me back to life as I was under u-turned due to my addiction. The support staff were excellent and so relatable as they had been in my position so I felt that recovery was 100 percent achievable. Claire and her sound therapy also help me reconnect with myself and ground me. I cant recommend Abbington house enough - Forever grateful 🙏🏻 Jamie Byles2025-08-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Fantastic rehab through and through 110% richard matthew2025-08-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My daughter, Clare, was in a terrible state after many years of substance abuse. By her own admission, her life was in danger and she had 'lost' her family. Persuaded by a friend to go into rehab at Abbington House, her 60 days there followed by a half way house arranged by them and a vast amount of support from all at Abbington I now have my lovely daughter back, completely free of addiction. On 1st August 2025 she went to Abbington to collect her award to celebrate her completing one year clean. We are all very proud of her and cannot over emphasise the care and support given to her by all at Abbington without which she would never have made it. Great people.
