"Welcomed and supported"

About: One Recovery Bucks / Aylesbury

(as a staff member posting for a patient/service user),

- 2019 I entered recovery as an addict (opioids)

- This was with a service in Oxfordshire.

- I was addicted to codeine and was treated at a lower level.

- I started on 25mg/ml of methadone

- This soon dropped to 6mg/4mg etc of buprenorphine

-  I felt rushed to reduce quickly to 'get my life back'

- I also felt external pressure from home to 'be well' and free of addiction

- I went on to lapse and relapse in Dec 2019 + Feb 2020. I was taking 0.8mg of Buprenorphine at the time.

- Since 2020 I have been clean for 3 years and well supported in a much slower reduction as I felt in control

- I have joined One Recovery this week (June 2023) and I have felt very welcome and supported in achieving my goals to be off buprenorphine by end 2023
