Private Drug & Alcohol Rehab Camden
Confidential, trauma-informed rehab for Camden residents, from medical detox to therapy, aftercare and family support, tailored to your needs.
Addiction Help and Treatment in Camden
Addiction touches people from all parts of Camden, from the vibrant streets of Camden Town and Kentish Town to the quieter residential areas of Hampstead and Belsize Park. While it might not always be visible, it can have a profound effect on health, relationships and daily life.
In a borough known for its nightlife, cultural diversity, and high-pressure living, challenges like stress, social influence and isolation can increase the risk of substance misuse. Some individuals hide their struggles behind a busy lifestyle; others face more urgent crises. Both deserve the same compassionate, expert care.
Abbington House provides private, trauma-informed residential rehab for people from Camden and surrounding areas. Whether you require a safe medical detox, therapy for co-occurring mental health issues, or a comprehensive treatment programme, we offer a safe, non-judgemental space to begin recovery.
From your first conversation with us to aftercare, we’ll guide you every step of the way.
What We Treat at Abbington House
At Abbington House, we provide tailored treatment for a wide range of addictions and co-occurring mental health issues. Our approach combines evidence-based methods with trauma-informed care to meet the needs of clients from across Camden.
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 Camden, where nightlife and music culture are part of daily life for many, we see both high-functioning addiction and urgent cases requiring immediate medical intervention.
Alcohol Rehab
Alcohol misuse can be hidden behind social drinking patterns or long-term dependency. We offer:
- Safe, medically supervised detox
- Therapeutic programmes to address emotional triggers and underlying causes
- Relapse prevention for sustainable recovery.
Whether it’s regular pub drinking in Kentish Town or long-standing dependence in Hampstead, we can help you break free from alcohol addiction.
Dual Diagnosis Support
Addiction often coexists with mental health conditions such as:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- PTSD and trauma
- ADHD
- Stress and sleep disorders.
By treating both addiction and mental health together, we create a stronger foundation for long-term change.
Wherever you are in Camden – whether you’ve tried rehab before or this is your first step – we’ll work with you to create a treatment plan that’s right for you.

Local Relevance
Camden’s cultural diversity means attitudes to addiction can vary widely. Our approach is sensitive, respectful, and confidential, ensuring families feel supported no matter their background.
When families heal alongside their loved one, recovery is stronger and more sustainable.
Leaving Camden for Treatment
If you live in Camden, the idea of leaving the borough for rehab can feel like a big step. Yet putting some distance between yourself and your everyday environment is often one of the most effective ways to begin real recovery.
Remaining local can mean staying close to triggers, whether that’s the nightlife in Camden Town, social networks tied to past substance use, or the daily pressures of work and home life. These familiar settings can make it harder to break old patterns and fully focus on your wellbeing.
By stepping outside Camden for treatment, you give yourself the space to reset, away from distractions, temptations and judgement. In a calm, supportive setting, you can concentrate entirely on your physical, emotional and mental health.
Supported Travel from Camden
We regularly welcome clients from Hampstead, Kentish Town, and across the borough. Our team can arrange safe, supported transport directly from your door to Abbington House, making the process smooth and private.
Leaving isn’t about escaping responsibility; it’s about taking intentional steps toward a healthier, more hopeful future with the right support in place.
Aftercare and Returning to Camden
Aftercare and Returning to Camden
Your Aftercare Plan May Include:
- Regular check-ins with our team
- Relapse prevention strategies tailored to life in Camden
- Access to our alumni network for peer support and encouragement
- Continued family involvement where helpful.
We understand that going back to familiar places, whether it’s social venues in Camden Town, your workplace in Hampstead, or local events, can sometimes reintroduce old temptations. That’s why your aftercare plan is designed specifically to help you manage those real-world situations.
With structure, ongoing connection, and the right strategies, you’ll have the best possible chance of maintaining your recovery long after you leave our care.
Real Stories from Clients
Recovery is personal – but you are never alone. Many people come to Abbington House feeling lost, afraid, or out of options. Their experiences remind us that healing is possible, even when it feels far away.
