My alcohol & Methadone de-tox

"My alcohol & Methadone de-tox"

About: Dame Carol Detoxification Service

(as a service user),

I initially began to drink during the COVID lock-down. Initially the drinking was just more as a release and and to relax. I after a while I realised I was having withdrawals. I was then aware I had a drink dependency. I self referred to Inclusion who then managed to refer me to DCDS.   

I have been taking methadone for the last 10 years and then decided I need to break free from the addiction, settle down, work and travel. 

I was referred to CGL who managed to arrange a de-tox at Dame Carol and re-hab for 4 months.

The medical treatment and group activities have been good at Dame carol, also the facilities are very clean and I have liked getting to know the other residents.

The only things that could have been better is to have atv in my room and more coat hangers!

Thank you very much for all the help and support all the staff gave me was very reassuring and felt very welcoming I was very nervous before I came in but very quickly was reassured and you couldn’t get any better staff and help that I enjoyed whilst I was there learnt lots of mindfulness and breathing techniques to a very good place to be when you’re at your lowest thank you again
