Private Addiction Support For Residents of Richmond
Addiction can affect anyone, from the bustling town centre of Richmond to the leafy residential areas of Kew, Twickenham, and Teddington. While it’s often hidden from view, its impact on health, relationships and day-to-day life can be profound.
In Richmond upon Thames, where the pace of life can be fast and expectations high, many residents face unique pressures. Whether it’s work stress, social drinking culture, or personal struggles, finding the right support is essential.

What We Treat at Abbington House
At Abbington House, we provide personalised treatment for a wide range of addictions and co-occurring mental health conditions. Every programme is trauma-informed and adapted to the needs of clients from Richmond upon Thames.
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 Richmond, we often see a mix of long-term dependency and more recent patterns of escalating use, sometimes linked to professional stress, high living costs, or social pressures.
Alcohol Rehab
Alcohol misuse can develop slowly over years or escalate quickly. It can affect physical health, mental wellbeing, and relationships. Our alcohol treatment includes:
- Safe, medically supervised detox
- Therapy to address underlying emotional triggers
- Relapse prevention tools to help maintain long-term stability.
Whether it’s a social habit that’s spiralled or long-term dependency, our approach is compassionate, structured and effective.
Dual Diagnosis Support
Many people experience both addiction and mental health challenges, such as:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- PTSD and trauma
- ADHD
- Stress-related disorders.
We treat both together so recovery is complete and sustainable.
Wherever you are in Richmond, from Twickenham to Barnes, Kew to Hampton Hill, we can create a tailored treatment plan to help you take back control.

Leaving Richmond for Addiction Treatment
For many people in Richmond upon Thames, the idea of leaving home for rehab can feel daunting. But creating physical distance from your current environment can be one of the most effective steps toward lasting recovery.
Staying local can sometimes mean staying close to triggers, whether that’s social circles, familiar drinking spots, or the daily pressures of work and home life. These influences can make it harder to fully focus on your recovery.
By stepping away from Richmond, Twickenham, Kew,= or Teddington for residential treatment, you give yourself space to reset, free from distractions, temptation, and judgement. In our safe and supportive setting, you can focus entirely on rebuilding your health and future.
