Drug & Alcohol Rehab Wandsworth
Confidential, trauma-informed rehab for Wandsworth residents, from detox and therapy to aftercare and family support, tailored to your needs.
Private Addiction Support for Wandsworth Residents
Addiction affects people across Wandsworth, from the riverside areas of Battersea and Putney to the residential streets of Tooting and Earlsfield. While it’s not always visible, its effects on health, relationships and daily life can be profound.
With the pressures of London living, high housing costs, and limited availability of local treatment, residents here can face real challenges when seeking help. Whether your struggle has been ongoing for years or developed more recently, you should never have to face it alone.
Abbington House offers private, trauma-informed rehabilitation for individuals and families in Wandsworth. Whether you need medical detox, therapy for co-occurring mental health issues, or a complete residential programme, we provide a safe, non-judgemental place to begin again.
From your first call to ongoing aftercare, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
What We Treat at Abbington House
Abbington House provides tailored treatment for a wide range of addictions and co-occurring mental health conditions. Every programme is grounded in trauma-informed care and adapted to the needs of clients from Wandsworth.
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 Wandsworth, we often see a mix of long-term dependencies and more recent patterns of harmful use, sometimes linked to workplace pressures, nightlife in areas like Clapham Junction and Battersea or social circles.
Alcohol Rehab
Alcohol misuse can creep in gradually or escalate quickly, affecting health, relationships and work. We provide:
- Safe, medically supervised detox
- Therapy to address emotional triggers and behavioural patterns
- Relapse prevention strategies for long-term stability.
Whether it’s social drinking that has spiralled or years of heavy use, our approach is compassionate and effective.
Dual Diagnosis Support
Many clients experience both addiction and mental health challenges such as:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- PTSD and trauma
- ADHD
- Stress-related disorders.
We treat both issues together, ensuring recovery is comprehensive and lasting.
Wherever you are in Wandsworth, from Battersea to Balham, Putney to Tooting, we can design a treatment plan that fits your needs, supports your goals, and gives you the best chance of lasting change.

Family Support for Wandsworth Households
Family Support for Wandsworth Households

- Focus on communication, boundaries, education and emotional wellbeing

Leaving Wandsworth for Addiction Treatment
Deciding to leave Wandsworth for treatment can feel like a big step, but many people find that recovery is easier when they take a temporary break from their local environment. Being away from familiar stressors, routines, and triggers gives you the space to focus completely on your wellbeing. Abbington House provides a safe, structured environment where you can begin to rebuild, without the distractions and pressures of everyday life.

If travelling feels overwhelming, we can arrange sober transport directly from your door in Wandsworth to Abbington House. Our trained drivers understand the sensitivities involved and ensure a safe, discreet journey. This service can be arranged for both admission and discharge, giving you and your loved ones peace of mind.
