"For a sad situation, it has been wonderful"

When I first arrived I met Aimee and Leigh, who were lovely.  They went through the necessary checks including weighing me and measuring my height.  

I was then taken to my room where my bags were searched.  Then I see Dr Gale and Anne Marie, I was in there for quite a while where they took my obs, bloods.  Discussed my medical history.  It was very amusing and Anne Marie helped put me at ease. Went through my medication.  Had a giggle with both of them, especially Dr Gale.

I returned to my room where I unpacked.  Everyone was very nice and welcoming.   I had a Detox years ago which was nothing like this experience which has been amazing.    All the staff bend over backwards for you and answer your questions. 

I could not believe the Chef Rudolph cooked excellent fresh food everyday.

It was lovely that everyone got my sense of humour.  A massive shout out to Warren who helped me with my meditation. I feel the service could be improved by recording Warren delivering Meditation for when he is not on shift to help the other patients. 

For a sad situation, it has been wonderful. 

They were kind enough to give me a disabled room as I have to walk with a crutch.  

You have regular welfare checks to make sure you are okay. It is a fantastic service at the Dame Carol Detoxification Service.  I think it would be really useful for anyone in this situation to be referred here. 

The other patients are really nice people where you get to hear different stories. 

I don't want to go home, if I could stay longer I would.
