“This service is a life saver for all parents who are suffering stress or abuse by their addicted children. It explores addiction and helps with your ability to deal with it.”
“I have been using the service for six months now, I find good support in responding to addiction within my family and it has been easy to access help.”
“As a mother of an addict, life has been very stressful for both myself and my family. I found coming to the Family Support Group very helpful, it gives you a chance to say what’s going on, and know that I am not mad. The support I received helped me not to be such a burden on my other family members as they have to live their lives as well. I think I would be on drugs myself now if it were not for the support I received.”
Drug Rehabilitation Programme clients
“STAR is a great programme. I have only been here a few weeks and I find the staff very caring and looking for the very best for clients. Since starting I can feel myself coming out of myself more and talking about things I’ve bottled up for so long. I feel a lot fresher in myself and I’m in a better place than I ever was. That’s down to staff and groups. It has made me look at things a lot different and given me back some structure. I’m really starting to trust people.”
“The STAR is a great place to get involved with. It has helped me find who I really am and what I really want from my life. It’s a safe place and the staff are helpful in every way and this has helped me find the strength within myself.”
