Drug & Alcohol Rehab Surrey
Private Addiction Support in Surrey
Addiction affects individuals and families across Surrey, from the busy towns of Guildford and Woking to quieter communities like Farnham, Reigate, Leatherhead and Epsom. While it often remains hidden, its impact on health, work and relationships can be severe.
Many people in Surrey face unique pressures: demanding jobs in and around London, long commutes, or the stress of maintaining family and financial responsibilities. These factors can all contribute to unhealthy patterns of alcohol or drug use and make it feel harder to reach out for help.
Abbington House provides private, trauma-informed rehabilitation for people living in Surrey and the surrounding areas. Whether you need medical detox, therapy for co-occurring mental health conditions or a structured residential programme, our supportive team is here to help you take the first step toward lasting recovery.
What We Treat at Abbington House
At Abbington House, we provide treatment for a wide range of addictions and mental health concerns. Every programme is tailored to the individual, built on trauma-informed principles, and adapted to meet the needs of clients from Surrey.
Drug Addiction Treatment
We support recovery from:
- Cocaine addiction
- Cannabis misuse
- Heroin and opioid dependence
- Ketamine misuse
- Prescription drug addiction (including benzodiazepines and opioid painkillers)
In Surrey, we see both long-term dependencies and more recent, escalating use. Stress linked to commuting, high-pressure careers or feelings of isolation can all contribute to harmful patterns of drug use.
Alcohol Rehab
Alcohol misuse remains one of the most common reasons people in Surrey seek treatment. We offer:
- Safe, medically supervised detox
- Therapy to understand and change behaviours
- Relapse prevention planning to support long-term recovery
Dual Diagnosis Support
Many clients experience both addiction and mental health issues, such as:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- PTSD and trauma
- ADHD
- Stress-related conditions.
We treat both together, recognising that recovery must address the whole person, not just the addiction.
Wherever you live in Surrey – Guildford, Woking, Epsom, Reigate or beyond – Abbington House can create a treatment plan that’s right for you.
How Rehab Works at Abbington House
How Rehab Works at Abbington House
Step 1: Personalised Admission
Your journey begins with a confidential assessment. We’ll explore your substance use, physical health, mental wellbeing and goals for recovery. For Surrey residents, we can arrange safe, supported transport directly to our residential clinic.
Step 2: Medical Detox (If Needed)
For alcohol, opioids, and certain prescription drugs, detox may be necessary. Our clinical team provides 24/7 medical supervision, making withdrawal as safe and comfortable as possible.
Step 3: Therapy and Trauma-Informed Care
Once detox is complete - or if it isn’t required - you’ll begin a tailored therapy programme, which may include:
- 1:1 counselling
- Group therapy sessions
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
- Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
- Trauma-focused therapy
- Relapse prevention workshops
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
Living alongside others in recovery builds connection, encouragement and accountability. Many clients describe this community as one of the most powerful parts of treatment.
Step 6: Preparing for Life After Rehab
Before you return to Surrey, we’ll create a personalised aftercare plan. You’ll also join our alumni network - giving you ongoing support, peer connection and resources for long-term success.

Weekly Online Family Sessions
We provide weekly online family support sessions, accessible to parents, partners, siblings, and adult children across Surrey, whether you’re based in Guildford, Woking, Reigate, Epsom or further afield. These sessions offer a safe, supportive space to:
- Share experiences and reduce isolation.
- Learn how to set healthy boundaries.
- Improve communication during recovery.
- Understand addiction as a health condition, not a moral failing.
Supporting Families to Heal
Addiction often leaves families dealing with confusion, mistrust, and emotional strain. Our family programme is designed to give you the tools to:
- Rebuild relationships over time
- Recognise the difference between support and enabling
- Look after your own wellbeing while supporting your loved one
By helping families in Surrey feel informed and supported, we strengthen the recovery process for everyone involved.
Leaving Surrey for Addiction Treatment
For many people in Surrey, the idea of leaving home for rehab can feel daunting. Yet creating some distance from your usual environment can be one of the most powerful steps toward recovery.
Why Distance Helps
Staying local often means staying close to triggers, whether that’s pubs and bars in Guildford, social groups in Woking, or familiar routines that reinforce old habits. By stepping away, you give yourself the space to focus fully on recovery without distraction.
A Safe, Focused Environment
Abbington House provides a private, structured setting where you can reset. Free from daily pressures, you’ll have the chance to rebuild your health and lay the foundations for long-term change.
Supported Travel from Surrey
We regularly welcome clients from across Surrey, and our admissions team can arrange safe, supported transport from your home to our clinic. This ensures your journey into treatment is straightforward and stress-free.
Leaving Surrey for rehab isn’t about walking away from your life; it’s about stepping into a space where recovery can truly begin.
