Many people arrive feeling unsure, anxious, or overwhelmed. What they often tell us is that they quickly feel safe, welcomed, and supported - sometimes for the first time in a long while.

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 Safe and Welcoming Environment

Our centre in Stevenage provides a private residential setting designed to support recovery without feeling clinical or impersonal. We are trauma-informed and neurodivergent-friendly, adapting our treatment to meet those with additional needs.

Recovery Beyond Your Stay

We provide one year of free aftercare following private residential treatment, so support continues well beyond discharge. Clients also have access to our Abbington Community App, with regular events and opportunities to stay connected, helping bridge the move back into daily life.

Meet our Team

Abbington House is shaped by people who have personal experience of addiction and recovery. Many members of our team have lived through addiction in their own lives and understand, first-hand, what it takes to change patterns that once felt impossible to break.

From the moment people arrive, they’re met by a team who take time to listen, understand and work alongside them to create a recovery environment that feels more personal.

How Treatment Works at Abbington House

How Treatment Works at Abbington House

Recovery here is structured, but personal. Every stay begins with a full assessment. From there, we build an individual treatment plan that includes medically supported detox, one-to-one therapy, group work, and ongoing aftercare planning.

We keep the environment calm and contained so people can focus on getting well, without outside pressure or noise.

1. Assessment &
Admission

A careful review of physical health, substance use and mental health to help build a plan that’s right for you.

2. Medically Supported
Detoxx

If needed, withdrawal is managed safely and carefully, with clinical oversight.

3. Therapy &
Structured Support

A balance of one-to-one and group work designed to address the causes of addiction, not just the symptoms.

Who We Help

People come to Abbington House at different points in their lives.

Some have been drinking or using for years and feel worn down by it, others are holding careers and responsibilities together, but privately know things aren’t sustainable. Some have tried to stop more than once and found themselves back where they started.

We support adults experiencing:

Alcohol addiction
Drug addiction
Misuse of prescription medication
Addiction alongside other mental health difficulties

If you’re questioning whether things have gone too far, that conversation can start here.

We support people across Hertfordshire, London and surrounding counties who are ready to step into residential recovery.

Getting Started

Reaching out can feel like the hardest part. Most people begin with a phone call. We’ll listen to what’s been happening and talk through whether residential treatment is the right next step.

If it is, we’ll explain the admissions process clearly including costs, timelines and what to expect.
