Drug Addiction Treatment
We support recovery from:

- Cannabis misuse
- Heroin and opioid dependence

In Barking and Dagenham, we often see a mix of long-term dependencies and recent, escalating use, sometimes linked to stress, economic pressures or social influences.

- Therapy to address emotional triggers and behavioural patterns
- Relapse prevention strategies to build long-term stability.
Whether it’s social drinking that’s spiralled or long-term dependence, our approach is compassionate and effective.

- PTSD and trauma
- ADHD
- Stress-related disorders.
We treat both together, ensuring that recovery is comprehensive and lasting.

Leaving Barking and Dagenham for Treatment
For many people in Barking and Dagenham, the idea of leaving home for rehab can feel daunting. But putting distance between yourself and 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 groups, places linked to substance use, or the everyday pressures of home life. These influences can make it harder to focus fully on recovery.
By leaving Barking and Dagenham for residential rehab, you can create the space to reset – away from distraction, temptation, and judgement. In a safe, supportive setting, you have the opportunity to focus entirely on your health and personal growth.
Supported Travel from Barking and Dagenham
We regularly welcome clients from across the borough, and our team can arrange safe, supported transport directly from your home to Abbington House. This ensures your journey to treatment is stress-free, private and comfortable.
Choosing to leave is not about running away from problems – it’s about moving toward a healthier, more hopeful future with the right support by your side.
