Drug, Alcohol & Dual Diagnosis Support

Drug, Alcohol & Dual Diagnosis Support

At Abbington House, we provide private residential rehab for people experiencing drug addiction, alcohol addiction, and co-occurring mental health challenges.

Some people reach out in a moment of crisis. Others come after months or years of trying to keep things steady on their own. You don’t need to have all the answers, just the willingness to reach out.

People come to us for many different reasons, including:

  • Drinking or using more than they planned and finding it harder to stop
  • Feeling overwhelmed, anxious or unable to cope in the same way
  • Using substances to manage pressure, stress or emotional pain
  • Being a family member worried about someone they love

Our approach is trauma-informed, paced and responsive to each individual. Support is structured, but never rushed – with space to be understood rather than pushed.

How Residential Rehab Works

DSC08280 Enhanced NR

How Residential Rehab Works

Treatment begins with stabilisation in a structured residential setting. From there, therapeutic support helps people understand their relationship with substances and develop healthier ways to cope. Recovery is guided day by day, with consistent routines and steady support designed to make change feel safe and manageable.

Built by People Who Understand Recovery

At Abbington House, we recognise that addiction is about more than alcohol or drugs.

It’s often about what sits beneath; things that people have been carrying for years. Unspoken grief, constant tension, learned self-reliance, the feeling of always being on edge. Substances don’t create those struggles, but they temporarily mask them until they stop working.

That’s why we work with clients as whole individuals, not problems to be fixed. We start by understanding what’s been happening in someone’s life, not just what they’ve been using.

Our focus is on supporting people by attending to emotional, psychological and practical needs and by creating space for reflection and connection.

A Calm, Structured Setting

Consistent care, a steady environment and clear expectations help reduce uncertainty and support a sense of safety from the very beginning.

A Real Home, Not a Hospital

Our centre in Stevenage provides a quiet, welcoming residential setting - somewhere people can slow down, feel at ease and step away from everyday pressures while focusing on recovery.

Real Stories of Recovery

At Abbington House, recovery is something people live through every day, in different ways and at different paces.

These stories are shared by people who have spent time here and wanted to reflect on their experience. They offer a sense of what recovery can feel like in real life and a reminder that you’re not alone in what you’re going through.

They’re shared to offer reassurance, connection and a sense of possibility, not as examples to follow, but as human experiences.

We’re Here to Listen

Reaching out for help can feel difficult or overwhelming. Many of us at Abbington House understand how hard that first step can be.

When you get in touch, you’ll speak to someone who has the time to listen, without judgement or pressure. You won’t be rushed into any kind of decision. 

Whether you’re calling for yourself or someone you care about, the conversation can start wherever you need it to.

"I know how difficult it can feel to reach out. My role is to make sure people feel safe, listened to, and supported in taking the next step. I’ve been there myself, and I try to bring honesty, compassion, and a sense of safety into every conversation"
