Private Drug & Alcohol Rehab Kensington and Chelsea
Confidential, trauma-informed rehab for residents of Kensington, Chelsea, and surrounding areas, from safe medical detox and therapy to ongoing aftercare and family support, tailored to your needs.
Private Addiction Help Near Kensington & Chelsea
Addiction doesn’t discriminate. In Kensington and Chelsea, it affects people in every setting, from the busy streets of Notting Hill and Earl’s Court to the quieter residential squares of South Kensington and Chelsea. For some, it’s hidden behind high-pressure careers and social obligations; for others, it’s part of a long-term struggle that’s become harder to manage.
This borough’s mix of affluence, social visibility, and limited immediate NHS support can make it difficult to seek help discreetly and quickly. But no matter your circumstances, you don’t have to face it alone.
Abbington House offers private, trauma-informed rehabilitation for individuals and families in Kensington and Chelsea. Whether you need safe medical detox, therapy for mental health issues alongside addiction, or a complete residential programme, we provide a non-judgemental environment where recovery can take root.
From your first call to long-term aftercare, we’ll be by your side every step of the way.
What We Treat at Abbington House
Abbington House delivers tailored treatment for a wide range of addictions and co-occurring mental health conditions. Every programme is built on trauma-informed principles and adapted to meet the needs of clients from Kensington & Chelsea.
Drug Addiction Treatment
We provide support for recovery from:
- Cocaine addiction
- Cannabis misuse
- Heroin and opioid dependence
- Ketamine misuse
- Prescription drug addiction, including benzodiazepines and opioid painkillers.
In Kensington & Chelsea, we often see cases where substance use is tied to high-pressure professional environments, social scenes, or hidden behind closed doors. Our approach addresses both the dependency itself and the lifestyle factors that sustain it.
Alcohol Rehab
Alcohol misuse can develop gradually or escalate quickly, impacting physical health, relationships, and career. We offer:
- Therapy to address triggers, habits, and beliefs around alcohol
- Relapse prevention strategies for long-term stability.
Whether it’s social drinking that’s become unmanageable or a long-standing dependence, we help you regain control.
Dual Diagnosis Support
Many clients face addiction alongside mental health challenges such as:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- PTSD and trauma
- ADHD
- Stress-related disorders.
We treat both at the same time, ensuring your recovery is holistic and sustainable.
Wherever you are in Kensington and Chelsea – from South Kensington to Ladbroke Grove – our team can create a treatment plan that’s right for you, starting from your very first call.
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 learn about your substance use, mental health and personal goals. Whether you’re in Chelsea, Kensington, Notting Hill or Earl’s Court, we can arrange private, supported transport to our residential centre.
Step 2: Medically Supported Detox
For alcohol, opioids, and certain prescription medications, physical dependence requires medical detox. Our experienced clinical team provides 24/7 monitoring, ensuring withdrawal is as safe and comfortable as possible.
Step 3: Therapy and Trauma-Informed Care
Once detox is complete - or if it isn’t needed - you’ll start a tailored therapy programme, which may include:
- 1:1 counselling
- Group therapy sessions
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
- Relapse prevention workshops
- Trauma-focused therapy to address root causes.
Step 4: Holistic Therapies
We complement evidence-based therapies with approaches that support mind and body:
- Mindfulness and meditation
- Sound therapy
- Creative outlets such as art and journaling
- Gentle movement and nature walks.
Step 5: Peer Support and Community
Living alongside others who understand your journey fosters a sense of belonging and motivation that’s essential for recovery.
Step 6: Preparing for Life After Rehab
Before you return home, we’ll work with you to create a personalised aftercare plan and connect you with our alumni network, ensuring you have continued guidance and community support in the weeks, months, and years ahead. At Abbington House, rehab is not a quick fix, it’s the start of a new way of living.
Leaving Kensington and Chelsea for Treatment
For many people in Kensington and Chelsea, the thought of leaving home for rehab can feel daunting. But creating physical and emotional space from your current environment can be a powerful step toward lasting recovery.
Staying local can sometimes mean staying close to triggers, whether that’s familiar social circles, high-pressure work environments, or places tied to substance use. Even in a prestigious borough like Kensington and Chelsea, these influences can quietly undermine progress.
By choosing residential treatment away from your immediate surroundings, you give yourself the chance to focus fully on recovery, free from distractions, expectations, and old patterns. It’s not about running away, it’s about stepping into a healthier, more intentional space.
Supported Travel from Kensington and Chelsea
We regularly welcome clients from across the borough, from South Kensington to Notting Hill and Chelsea Harbour. Our team can arrange safe, supported transport directly from your home to Abbington House, making the journey stress-free, discreet and comfortable.
Once you arrive, our focus is entirely on you, helping you build the skills, mindset and resilience you’ll need for life after treatment.
Sometimes the first step forward is taken somewhere new.
