Private Drug & Alcohol Rehab Merton
Confidential, trauma-informed rehab for Merton residents – with detox, therapy, aftercare and ongoing family support tailored to your recovery journey.
Private Addiction Help For People in Merton
Addiction doesn’t always show itself publicly – but its impact runs deep. In Merton, from Wimbledon and Morden to Mitcham and Colliers Wood, we see people quietly struggling with alcohol, drug use, or both. Whether it’s been building over years or spiralled quickly, the effects on your health, relationships, and self-worth can be devastating.
No matter your background or how far things have gone, you deserve the chance to recover – and to be treated with respect.
Abbington House offers private, trauma-informed residential rehab for people across Merton and South West London. Our programme includes medical detox, therapy, holistic care, dual diagnosis support, and aftercare, all delivered in a safe, welcoming space that recognises the complexity of addiction.
Whether this is your first time seeking help or you’ve tried before, we’re here to walk beside you, from first call to lasting recovery.
What We Treat at Abbington House
At Abbington House, we support clients from across Merton – including Wimbledon, Mitcham, Morden, Raynes Park, and Colliers Wood – with addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions. Every programme is trauma-informed, person-centred, and built around your real-life challenges.
Drug Addiction Treatment
We treat a range of drug-related issues, including:
- Cocaine addiction
- Cannabis dependence
- Ketamine misuse
- Heroin and opioid addiction
- Prescription drug dependence, including benzodiazepines and painkillers.
In Merton, we often see substance use linked to high-pressure work lives, emotional stress, unresolved trauma, or social habits that spiral. Whether it’s a long-term struggle or a recent crisis, we provide the structure and support to help you stabilise and recover.
Alcohol Rehab
Alcohol misuse can feel socially acceptable, until it isn’t. At Abbington House, we understand how blurred those lines can be between alcohol abuse and dependence. Our alcohol rehab includes:
- Medically supervised detox
- 1:1 and group therapy
- Emotional work around shame, trauma, and habits
- Relapse prevention tailored to your lifestyle in Merton.
We meet you with compassion, not judgement – and we help you rebuild from the inside out.
Dual Diagnosis Support
Many people come to us facing both addiction and mental health challenges. We provide integrated treatment for:
- Depression and low self-esteem
- Anxiety and panic
- PTSD and trauma
- ADHD & Autism
- Emotional burnout and overwhelm.
Whether you’re functioning externally or feeling like you’re barely holding it together, we support all parts of your recovery – mind, body and nervous system. Wherever you are in Merton – whether you’ve just started thinking about help or you’re ready to act – we’ll meet you where you are, with care that works.
How Rehab Works at Abbington House
How Rehab Works at Abbington House
Step 1: Personalised Admission
Your journey begins with a confidential assessment, where we listen - without judgement - to understand your substance use, mental health, and personal goals. Whether you're based in Wimbledon, Mitcham, Morden or Raynes Park, we can arrange safe, discreet transport to bring you into treatment comfortably.
Step 2: Medical Detox (If Needed)
For substances like alcohol, heroin, opioids, or benzodiazepines, detox is often required to safely manage withdrawal. Our clinical team provides 24/7 monitoring in a calm, supportive environment - helping you stabilise both physically and emotionally.
Step 3: Therapy and Trauma-Informed Care
Once you’re medically stable, you’ll begin a therapy programme designed for your unique needs. This includes:
- 1:1 counselling with qualified therapists
- Group therapy with peers in recovery
- CBT, DBT, and trauma-focused interventions
- Relapse prevention tools and boundary work
- Dual diagnosis support where needed.
Step 4: Holistic Therapies for Whole-Person Healing
Alongside therapy, we support your whole-person healing through:
- Mindfulness, grounding, and breathwork
- Sound and creative therapies
- Gentle movement and time outdoors
- Space to rest, reflect, and reconnect with yourself.
Step 5: Community & Peer Support
Living alongside others in recovery fosters understanding, connection and accountability. You’re never alone here - even on your hardest days.
Step 6: Preparing for Life After Rehab
Before discharge, we’ll co-create a personalised aftercare plan for your return to Merton - with relapse prevention strategies, family support options and access to our alumni network.
Family Support for Merton Families
Family Support for Merton Families
At Abbington House, we know that recovery is stronger when families are supported too. When loved ones understand addiction and learn healthier ways to respond, real healing becomes possible – for everyone.
Weekly Online Family Sessions
We offer weekly therapist-led groups for families that are:
- Held online, accessible across Merton and beyond
- Facilitated by our experienced Therapy Team
- Open to parents, partners, siblings and adult children
- Focused on boundaries, communication, emotional health and family dynamics.
These groups create space for learning, connection and relief – helping you feel less alone, more informed, and better equipped to support your loved one (and yourself).
Why it Matters in Merton
Whether you’re holding things together in Colliers Wood or trying to reconnect in Raynes Park, we meet every family with empathy, clarity, and tools that work in real life.
Leaving Merton for Addiction Treatment
For many people in Merton, the idea of leaving home for residential rehab can feel overwhelming. But putting distance between yourself and your everyday environment can be one of the most powerful decisions you make for recovery.
Whether you’re living in Wimbledon, Mitcham, Morden, or Raynes Park, local life often includes routines, relationships, or stressors that reinforce addictive patterns. Even when the intention to change is there, staying close to triggers can make it harder to fully commit to healing.
By stepping away from Merton – just for a short while – you create the space to pause, reflect, and reset. At Abbington House, you’ll find a safe, calm and confidential setting where everything is designed to support your recovery, not distract from it.
We Provide Discreet, Supported Transport
We regularly collect clients from across Merton and South West London. Our team can arrange confidential, door-to-door transport so your first step into rehab is as smooth and supported as possible.
Leaving doesn’t mean giving up on your life – it means choosing to return with clarity, confidence and strength.
Aftercare & Returning to Merton
Aftercare & Returning to Merton
Personalised Aftercare Planning
Your aftercare plan will include:
- Ongoing check-ins with our clinical or support team
- Personalised relapse prevention strategies
- Continued family involvement if helpful
- Access to our nationwide alumni network
- Help finding local or virtual support groups.
We understand that returning to familiar people and places can stir up old feelings and temptations. That’s why we help you rehearse, plan, and build confidence before you walk back through your front door.
With the right support, your return to Merton can be a continuation of recovery – not a restart of struggle.
