Private Drug & Alcohol Rehab Greenwich
Compassionate, trauma-informed rehab for Greenwich residents, from medical detox and therapy to aftercare and family support, tailored to your needs.
Private Addiction Help and Treatment for People in Greenwich
Addiction affects individuals and families across Greenwich, from the historic town centre to the residential streets of Woolwich, Eltham, Plumstead, Charlton and Blackheath. Even when hidden, the impact on health, relationships, and day-to-day life can be deeply disruptive.
Many people in the borough face long NHS waiting lists or don’t know where to turn for help. Whether you’re struggling with alcohol, drugs or dual diagnosis issues, you deserve care that’s compassionate, clinically sound, and easy to access.
At Abbington House, we provide private, trauma-informed residential treatment for people across Greenwich. Whether you need medical detox, dual diagnosis therapy, or a full rehab programme, we create a personalised path to recovery with respect, dignity and ongoing support.
From first call to long-term aftercare, we’re here to walk with you, every step of the way.
What We Treat at Abbington House
At Abbington House, we offer expert treatment for a wide range of addictions and co-occurring mental health conditions, all delivered in a private, trauma-informed setting. Our care is tailored for individuals and families across Greenwich, whether you’re based in Woolwich, Blackheath, Eltham, Plumstead or Charlton.
Drug Addiction Treatment
We support recovery from:
- Cocaine addiction
- Cannabis dependence
- Ketamine misuse
- Heroin and opioid addiction
- Prescription drug dependence, including benzodiazepines and painkillers.
In Greenwich, we see a broad spectrum of drug use, from students in crisis to working professionals managing high stress. Whether it’s hidden or chaotic, short-term or long-standing, we provide the medical, psychological and emotional support you need to recover.
Alcohol Rehab
Alcohol misuse can quietly escalate, especially under pressure from work, finances, or family responsibilities. Our alcohol rehab includes:
- Safe, medically supervised detox
- Therapy focused on emotional triggers, shame, and coping strategies
- Relapse prevention tools rooted in daily life.
Whether you’re drinking to numb, cope, or simply function, there’s a way out, and we can help you find it. Our clinical and therapy teams work together to deliver medical detox (if needed), emotional support and practical relapse prevention for clients of all ages.
Dual Diagnosis and Mental Health
Many clients come to us with overlapping challenges, addiction and mental health issues that fuel each other. We treat them together, not in isolation. Common co-occurring conditions include:
- Anxiety and panic
- Depression
- PTSD and complex trauma
- ADHD & Neurodivergence
- Emotional dysregulation and burnout.
Our clinical and therapy teams collaborate to support your whole self so that you can build lasting recovery, not just short-term sobriety. Wherever you are in Greenwich – whether it’s your first time seeking help or your fifth – we’ll meet you without judgement and build a plan that works.
How Rehab Works at Abbington House
How Rehab Works at Abbington House
Step 1: Personalised Admission
It begins with a confidential conversation. We’ll explore your substance use, mental health history, physical wellbeing, and personal goals. Whether you’re based in Woolwich, Eltham, Blackheath or Charlton, we can arrange safe, supported transport to our residential centre, ensuring a smooth, respectful entry into care.
Step 2: Medical Detox (If Needed)
For alcohol, opioids, or certain prescription medications, detox may be required. Our medical team provides 24/7 clinical oversight to manage withdrawal safely and with compassion, so you’re physically stabilised before entering therapy.
Step 3: Therapy and Trauma-Informed Care
Once detox is complete - or if detox isn’t required - you’ll begin a daily therapy programme designed around your needs. This may include:
- 1:1 counselling with a qualified therapist
- Small-group therapy with peers in recovery
- CBT, DBT, and trauma-focused modalities
- Relapse prevention workshops
- Support for anxiety, depression, PTSD or ADHD.
Step 4: Holistic Recovery Support
Beyond talk therapy, we offer holistic treatments that help the nervous system heal:
- Guided meditation and breathwork
- Sound therapy and gentle movement
- Art journaling, creativity and reflective practices
- Time in nature and mindfulness walks.
Step 5: Peer Support and Community
Living alongside others who are also rebuilding their lives creates powerful momentum. At Abbington House, community is part of the therapy and many of our clients from Greenwich stay connected long after leaving.
Step 6: Preparing for Life After Rehab
As you approach discharge, we’ll design a personalised aftercare plan, including relapse prevention, continued support, and connection to our alumni network. Rehab is about healing, growing, and moving forward with clarity. At Abbington House, you won’t have to do it alone.
Family Support for Greenwich Families
Family Support for Greenwich Families
At Abbington House, we believe that families deserve support just as much as the person in treatment. When loved ones are involved – with healthy boundaries and informed understanding – the outcomes are stronger, more stable and more sustainable.
Weekly Online Family Support Groups
Our family support includes:
- Weekly live sessions, accessible from anywhere in Greenwich
- Led by our specialist therapy team
- Open to parents, partners, siblings, and adult children
- Focused on communication, boundaries, education, and emotional wellbeing.
These groups provide a safe, supportive space for families to learn, process, and grow – whether their loved one is currently in treatment or has already completed it.
Greenwich is home to tight-knit families and multi-generational households. We understand the complexity of family dynamics – and we help you navigate them with clarity and care.
Leaving Greenwich for Addiction Treatment
If you live in Greenwich, the idea of leaving your home for residential rehab might feel daunting. But in many cases, stepping away from your everyday environment is the most powerful step you can take toward lasting change.
When you stay local, you may stay close to the very things that fuel addiction – whether it’s familiar drinking spots in Woolwich, social circles in Eltham, or daily stressors in Charlton. Proximity to triggers can make it harder to break old patterns and focus on recovery.
At Abbington House, you’ll find a peaceful, structured environment where your sole focus is healing. Free from pressure, judgement and distraction, you can breathe – and begin again with clarity and support.
Supported Transport from Greenwich
We regularly welcome clients from across Greenwich and can arrange confidential, fully supported transport directly from your home. Whether you’re in Blackheath, Plumstead, or the town centre, we’ll make sure your journey into treatment is smooth and safe.
Leaving Greenwich isn’t about running away – it’s about creating space to heal properly, with the right support behind you.
Aftercare and Returning to Greenwich

Personalised Aftercare Planning
Your aftercare plan will include:
- Regular check-ins from the Abbington House team
- A tailored relapse prevention strategy
- Local referrals for ongoing therapy or support groups
- Continued family engagement if helpful
- Access to our nationwide alumni community for peer support.
We know that returning to familiar places can bring up old routines, emotions or risks. That’s why your aftercare focuses on real-life resilience, practical tools, daily structure and people you can lean on.
Recovery doesn’t end when you leave rehab and we’ll make sure you never have to do it alone.
