Family Therapy
At Abbington House, we believe that recovery is not just about the individual; it is about the whole family. Addiction can create profound disruptions in family relationships, often causing pain, resentment, and fractured bonds. Our Family Therapy programme is designed to help families heal together. We create a compassionate space where families can rebuild trust, establish healthy boundaries, and improve communication. By involving family members in the recovery process, we not only support the individual in overcoming addiction but also empower the family to foster a nurturing and supportive environment.
Our therapists guide families through honest conversations, offering tools to manage the emotional impacts of addiction. Each family is different, and our approach is tailored to suit their unique dynamics, helping them heal past wounds while looking towards a hopeful future. At Abbington House, we walk with you and your loved ones every step of the way, ensuring the whole family feels supported, heard, and understood.
