If it's mild enough, you may just have to eat more fibre moving forward. That bulks up your poops, so they do a better job of stretching out your colon and clearing debris out of any outpouchings you have as they pass through, which prevents that debris from causing infections as it rots (this is good advice for everyone, actually, regardless of any history of diverticulitis). An abscess, however, is a very serious infection, so it's good that you've gone in for treatment. Leaving that untreated could outright kill you, or at least cause much more serious damage.
