A truly brilliant experience. Achieved my goals of starting the road to recovery. Comfortable ‘modern monastic’ rooms (my name for them), tasty nutritious food, relaxed environment. Lovely garden. Staff and therapists amazingly good and friendly and know what they’re doing! A great experience.

I feel that I have been guided to the best of staffs ability , the manager Maria has been approachable and so have the support staff . Stevie has helped me a lot I think he has understood me and can relate to me . All the staff have been very good to me. The food has been excellent , the group therapy sessions I have understood them and I have absorbed a lot , some I haven’t been able to relate to. The therapists have understood me and I felt listened to. Tyrone the nurse has been really helpful for my health issues. My therapist Kat has saved my life literally , she is very positive and mentally strong . My overall experience is that I’ve got out what I’ve put in and when I leave Friday I will have my freedom , I’ve made some good friends in my peer group and they have all been very friendly .

My therapist Kat, the thing I like about her is she doesn’t take prisoners and I need that to see through it. She doesn’t mince her words and says it as it is , I needed someone like that. Her approach has shown me that I can do it for myself, I like the direct we weren’t here to be carried .she puts it into a realistic do this or die .
