Individualised Addiction Care
We adapt our programme and therapeutic offering around those with different needs and beliefs. We provide a range of evidence-based treatments alongside the 12 Steps and holistic therapies, including Sound Therapy. In addition, weekly activities including swimming and gym are also offered.
Trauma-informed, non-clinical setting
We recognise that for many people struggling with addiction, childhood trauma and mental health challenges can often be a barrier to recovery. One-to-one sessions with your dedicated therapist are an essential aspect of your bespoke sessions. As a small clinic, we take the time to understand what works best for you.
Medically Assisted Drug and Alcohol Detox
To help support our clients through withdrawal, we provide a medication-assisted detox programme managed by our doctor or nurse.
Family Therapy
Supporting the family unit is an essential part of the recovery journey. We help both the individual and their loved ones to heal from the pain caused by addiction.
Nutritional Chef
For the duration of your stay with us, our experienced chef provides wholesome, nutritious meals to support your physical recovery. We cater for all dietary needs.
Safe Accommodation
Our private rooms are comfortable, quiet, and designed to give you space to relax and recharge. This is your place to rest, reflect and begin to feel like yourself again.
Aftercare & Alumni
Leaving rehab and returning home to Watford can be daunting for many of our clients. We provide ongoing aftercare planning and access to our alumni network.

Who We Help
Addiction doesn’t discriminate based on gender, race, religion or ethnicity. We help people from all walks of life, including professionals, parents, creatives and caregivers. These are people who are still working, still showing up – but they know something needs to change.
If any of this sounds familiar, Abbington House may be the right next step:
- You feel out of control with alcohol or drugs, even if it’s not every day
- You use substances to manage emotions, stress, or sleep
- You’ve tried cutting back on your own and it hasn’t worked
- You feel ashamed, stuck, or scared to speak up
- You’ve been told you’re “fine,” but you know something isn’t right.
Supporting a Loved One in Watford With Addiction
Addiction doesn’t just affect one person – it impacts everyone including partners, friendships and entire households. If you’re reading this because someone you care about is struggling, we want you to know: you are not helpless, and you are not alone.
At Abbington House, we regularly support families from Watford who feel like they’re:
- Walking on eggshells
- Watching someone they love become unrecognisable
- Unsure how to help without enabling
- Carrying the guilt, fear, or pressure to “fix it” themselves.
We offer family support services including:
- Regular updates (with consent)
- Supportive communication strategies
- Guidance around boundaries and next steps
- Help staging a non-confrontational intervention (if required)
- Post-rehab planning and involvement in aftercare.
What Happens After Residential Rehab?
One of the biggest fears for people considering rehab is: “What happens when I leave?”
At Abbington House, we take aftercare seriously – because we know that real life doesn’t stop just because you’ve finished treatment.
Our Aftercare Planning Includes:
- Personalised relapse prevention Strategies
- Ongoing therapeutic support
- Access to online and in-person alumni meetings and events.
We also stay connected with you directly – because we don’t believe in disappearing the moment you return home to Watford. We schedule regular check-ins throughout your early journey in recovery.
You’ll leave with more than tools. You’ll leave with a plan, a path, and a community that truly wants to see you thrive.
Take the Next Step (Even If You’re Not Sure Yet)
