"I’m 29 days sober and feel blessed"

About: Telford STaRS

(as a service user),

During my visits to Telford stars for alcohol issues I was given a supportive support worker who helped me get into a medicated detox as I was dependent on alcohol.

During my visits we discussed group options for support, online and face to face. I attended groups about detox and coping strategies and was then offered a place to go to start my treatment.

My treatment lasted 10 days and was a lot easier than I anticipated. The detox place was beautiful, the staff and peers very helpful and funny too. I understand it all detox’s are the same but we were allowed phones and an online shop from Asda :) all checked for contraband:D

Thank you to all at stars and the medical team for making this happen. I’m 29 days sober today and feel blessed. (P.s if going to medicated detox take your own blankets and pillows because theirs are plastic and not nice :D

Good morning Becky467,

Thank you for the feedback you have provided of your experiences with several parts of our service.

I am pleased to hear your Worker and groups have been supportive to you and the detox facility was a positive experience for you. As a service we work with a number of different inpatient detox providers and it is very important service users feel comfortable in the environment.

I would like to wish you all the best in your continued recovery journey.

Chris Hirst
