Like many outer London boroughs, Havering faces challenges: limited local services, long NHS wait times and the stress of daily life can all contribute to substance misuse. Whether the issue has been ongoing for years or has intensified more recently, you don’t have to face it alone.

Leaving Havering for Treatment
For many people in Havering, the idea of leaving home for rehab can feel like a big step. But creating distance from your everyday environment is often the key to beginning real, lasting recovery.
Staying local may seem convenient, but it can also mean staying close to the very triggers that keep you stuck. Familiar social circles, daily routines, or environments tied to substance use can make it harder to break free.
Leaving Havering to attend residential treatment at Abbington House gives you a clean break. In a calm, supportive setting, you’ll have the space to reset – mentally and emotionally – without distractions, judgement or outside pressure.
Transport from Havering
We regularly welcome clients from across Havering, including Romford, Hornchurch, Upminster and Harold Wood. Our team can arrange safe, comfortable transport directly from your home, so you don’t have to worry about getting here alone.
Choosing to leave is not about running away – it’s about stepping into the right environment for healing. With the right support, recovery is possible.
