I was really bad on the drink and was borderline dependent, drinking from morning through night..
I attended pre detox meetings with CGL and they referred me after several weeks.
Chapman barker was a game changer. I was like a fish out of water for the first day but once I got to know some of the staff and some of the other patients I was a lot more relaxed..
The first few days were tough but once that was out of the way it was like a holiday park. The choice of food was excellent considering its a hospital. The staff were the most professional people you could have asked for. Very rarely does the place seem understaffed.
The only negative thing I have to say about Chapman barker is the queue for meds was very tedious. Literally 2 hours out of your day waiting if you don't get there early enough.
That said I cannot fault the place. I have been sober for 6 months now with only 1 minor setback but im sticking at it.
One happy customer if I'm being honest. Really good work by everyone in chapman barker. Thank you!
