"Alcohol Detox - In safe hands"

When I first arrived at the dame carol detox centre I was initially very anxious, although upon arrival I was met with a very friendly face which lessened my anxiety.

You meet with a doctor very soon after arriving to work out your treatment plan in regards to medication ect which was reassuring.

The medication is very effective and after a few days my withdrawals started to ease.

There is a structured day schedule so you know how to plan your day accordingly in regards to meal times and group sessions.

The staff here are absolutely fantastic and I felt I was in very safe hands.

Unfortunately this is a non smoking unit which can be quite difficult but they do offer nicotine replacements.

I personally found the food was not really that enjoyable but still nutritious and plentiful but you can being your own food in to put in the fridge and have access to the microwave if you want to use it.

While your here staff will do observations on you all through the night to  make sure that you are still safe and well which can be annoying but you kind of get used it.

Overall this unit is really nice, clean and modern and has a very relaxed environment, the staff understand any issues or troubles you may be having and will be there for you 24-7.

Unfortunately you can not leave the unit, but if you would like supplies from the shop like snacks or fizzy drinks the staff will do there best to get out to the shop for you so long as you bring cash.

There are no mirrors in your bedroom or bathroom but I believe there are some on order.

Overall my stay at the unit has been pleasant and I cant thanks the staff enough for all the help and support that they have given
