"I found life long friends in the same place as me."

About: Dame Carol Detoxification Service

(as a service user),

At first I was really nervous , but as I knocked on the door I was greeted by a friendly lady who explained what was going to happen and showed me every thing I needed to know.

I was asked to take a breathalyser which was very high and was confined to my room or taken outside to vape. By evening I blew a 0 and was allowed out. I met the other guests, who were all really nice just like the staff, and I felt at ease.

The food was good and we had daily meetings and meditation which helped me greatly.

As time went on I found life long friends in the same place as me. It left me feeling 50 50 on leaving but I knew my aftercare of 12 weeks was the best next step .
