"My gratitude for your service and support"

About: Allington House - Bournemouth Change Grow Live / Spectrum - Hertfordshire Drug & Alcohol Services

(as a service user),

After many years accessing the drug services I come to the end of my journey with crime and drug abuse. I wasn't the easiest of client at the best of times and I was entrenched in my using. But by the grace of God your team especially Kate and Paula helped me get funding for my first ever detox in London from alcohol, heroin, methadone and diazepam. It was a really hard detox and I was sent to a treatment center in Bournemouth which was funded for 6 months.

I have remained abstinent now just over 4 year's and have the best Life and have also become educated in addiction counseling and work in the services.

I thank you all for never giving up on me and I take that ethos into my professional career as I wouldn't be alive today without your service's.
