Drug & Alcohol Rehab Hampshire
Confidential, trauma-informed rehabilitation for Hampshire residents, from safe detox and therapy to family support and lifetime aftercare, tailored to your recovery.
Private Addiction Support in Hampshire
Addiction affects people across Hampshire, from the busy cities of Southampton and Portsmouth to historic Winchester, thriving Basingstoke and quieter towns like Andover and Farnborough. While it often goes unseen, its effects on health, work and family life can be overwhelming.
In Hampshire, residents face a wide range of pressures: the demands of high-pressure jobs, financial strain, the pull of nightlife in city centres, or the isolation of more rural communities. These challenges can all contribute to alcohol or drug use and can make it harder to reach out for support.
Abbington House provides private, trauma-informed rehabilitation for people living in Hampshire and surrounding areas. Whether you need a safe medical detox, therapy for co-occurring conditions or a complete residential programme, we offer a supportive, confidential environment where lasting recovery becomes possible.
What We Treat at Abbington House
At Abbington House, we provide evidence-based, trauma-informed treatment for a wide range of addictions and mental health conditions. Every client receives a personalised programme tailored to their needs, with full support from admission through to aftercare.
Drug Addiction Treatment
We help clients in Hampshire recover from:
- Cocaine addiction
- Cannabis misuse
- Heroin and opioid dependence
- Ketamine misuse
- Prescription drug addiction (including benzodiazepines and opioid painkillers).
In Hampshire, we see both long-term dependencies and newer patterns of use that have escalated quickly. Some clients struggle with the pull of Portsmouth or Southampton’s nightlife, while others face quiet, hidden battles in more rural areas.
Alcohol Rehab
Alcohol misuse is one of the most common reasons people in Hampshire seek help. Our programme includes:
- Safe, medically supervised detox
- Therapy to address emotional triggers and behavioural patterns
- Relapse prevention planning to support long-term recovery.
Dual Diagnosis Support
Many people experience both addiction and mental health conditions, including:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- PTSD and trauma
- ADHD
- Stress-related disorders
We treat both together, recognising that lasting recovery must address the whole person, not just the addiction.
Wherever you live in Hampshire – whether Winchester, Portsmouth, Southampton, Basingstoke or Andover – Abbington House can provide a treatment plan that gives you the best chance at real, sustainable recovery.
How Rehab Works at Abbington House
How Rehab Works at Abbington House
Step 1: Personalised Admission
Your recovery begins with a confidential assessment. We explore your substance use, medical history, mental health and personal goals. For clients in Hampshire, we can arrange safe, supported transport directly from your home to our residential clinic.
Step 2: Medical Detox (If Needed)
For alcohol, opioids or prescription drugs, detox may be required. Our clinical team provides 24/7 medical supervision, ensuring withdrawal is as safe and comfortable as possible.
Step 3: Therapy and Trauma-Informed Care
Once detox is complete - or if detox isn’t needed - you’ll begin therapy, which may include:
- 1:1 counselling
- Group therapy
- CBT and DBT
- Trauma processing
- Emotional regulation and relapse prevention
Step 4: Holistic Therapies for Whole-Person Healing
True recovery is more than symptom control - it’s about reconnecting with yourself. Our holistic therapies help you rebuild that connection:
- Sound therapy to calm the nervous system
- Guided meditation and breathwork for grounding
- Creative therapies like art and journaling
- Gentle movement and nature walks to support body awareness
Step 5: Peer Support and Community
You’ll live alongside others who truly understand - people with different stories but the same need for safety, honesty, and healing. The support clients give each other is often one of the most powerful parts of rehab.
Step 6: Preparing for Life After Rehab
Before you return home to Hampshire, we’ll develop a personalised aftercare plan. You’ll also join our alumni network, offering continued guidance and connection to peers who understand the recovery journey.
Family Support for Hampshire Households
Family Support for Hampshire Households
Weekly Online Family Sessions
We run weekly online family support sessions that are accessible to relatives throughout Hampshire – from Southampton and Portsmouth to Winchester, Andover and Basingstoke. These sessions provide:
- A safe space to share experiences and concerns.
- Guidance on setting boundaries and avoiding enabling behaviours.
- Tools for better communication during recovery.
- Education about addiction as a health condition, not a choice.
Supporting Families to Heal
Addiction often leaves families dealing with mistrust, financial strain and emotional exhaustion. Our family programme is designed to help rebuild relationships, reduce conflict, and ensure loved ones also take care of their own wellbeing.
By supporting families in Hampshire alongside the individual in treatment, Abbington House helps create a healthier foundation for long-term recovery.
Leaving Hampshire for Addiction Treatment
For many people in Hampshire, the idea of leaving home for rehab can feel overwhelming. But creating some distance from your daily environment can be one of the most important steps toward lasting recovery.
Why Distance Helps
Staying close to familiar triggers, whether that’s nightlife in Southampton or Portsmouth, social groups in Basingstoke, or routines in smaller towns like Andover, can make it harder to focus fully on recovery. By stepping away, you give yourself space to break old patterns and concentrate solely on your health.
A Safe, Focused Environment
Abbington House provides a private, structured setting away from daily pressures. Many clients say that leaving Hampshire, even temporarily, gave them the clarity and focus they needed to rebuild their lives.
Supported Transport
We regularly welcome clients from across Hampshire and can arrange safe, supported transport from your home directly to our clinic. This ensures your journey into treatment is stress-free and confidential.
Leaving Hampshire for rehab doesn’t mean leaving your life behind, it means giving yourself the best possible chance to return to it healthier and stronger.
