I'm thankful for the support given to me

About: Dame Carol Detoxification Service

(as a service user),

So initially I felt like I was back in prison, as I was in my room for 8 hours feeling like my head was on the brink of implosion. I soon grounded my self, the depression set in quick but again alcohol detox is so hard!

I soon discovered my feet with help from some like minded individuals. Got back into the idea of yoga, breath work, concentration. I expressed my trauma through my art which helped.

I recommend any one going through these hard times to express their creative side in a constructive way.

I'm thankful for the support given to me, even if I can be difficult! ha

Hello lord foxington,

Thank you for taking the time to give us a care review here at Dame Carol.

Sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy your first 8 hours here. We do this as a safety precaution for yourself and other residents that are residing here.

I am glad you found your feet and you found like minded people here.

Yoga, breathwork and concentration are essential tools to help you with your journey once you leave detox.

It's a good thing that you have found a way of expressing your feelings through art and found it quite therapeutic.

Thank you for your feedback and we will take into account your suggestions.

Emma Smith - Bed Manager
