Ecem Gunal

Firstly I want to say thank you to the Recovery Lodge staff and members . I am 24 years old. I never thought that stopping drinking and taking drugs would be possible at this age. I went into rehab because my family wanted me to and I wanted to please my family. I didn’t know there was a solution. From the moment I walked into that rehab everyone was so friendly, I was so nervous, I didn’t want to stay there but they made me feel so welcome. At the end I didn’t want to leave, it became like my home. I got to know myself in rehab. Counsellors were really good, they work really differently but they challenged the inner me. This place just didn’t help me with my using, it also helped me with finding who I really am. I stayed in The Recovery Lodge for nearly 3 “Ecem Gunal”

Patient – T

Recovery Lodge literally saved my life. I was a physical and emotional wreck when I checked myself in and the combinations of a medical detox programme along with group and individual therapy put me on a healthy and sustainable path that has kept me sober until today, and gave me the tools to keep myself that way. The care and honest love I was shown from people who had first hand experience of the terrible illness of addiction was a major part of my recovery, and the aftercare has meant I’ve always had a backup if I felt wobbly. I made friends for life and learnt so much about myself in that cosy place, and always had someone to talk to, however I was feeling. I can’t thank Donna and the team enough.

I checked into the recovery lodge when I realised I could not stop drinking, all day every day. I was terrified what the next month was going to bring in rehab, but the lodge began to feel like home after just a few days. The staff are what make the recovery lodge what it is. The care, support and information provided by the the therapists and staff is second to none and during my whole stay I felt very well looked after. The facility itself is lovely; my bedroom was light and spacious. More importantly, the recovery lodge has given me a strong foundation for my recovery and countless tools to help me try and live a more spiritual life, free from alcohol. I am now celebrating over three months continual sobriety, which for me is a miracle. And I couldn’t have done it without the Recovery Lodge.

James

I went in to the Recovery Lodge in February 2018. After 10 years of substance misuse and being hopelessly addicted to alcohol and ketamine, I made the decision after years of trying, that I could not quit by myself and required professional help. I can safely say it is the best decision that I have made in my life. I entered the Recovery Lodge physically and mentally broken, believing I may never beat my addiction and this was the last chance for me. I was extremely anxious on arrival but all of the members of staff, as well as the other clients made me feel at ease and I felt I was in the right place to get the help I so desperately needed. I cannot speak highly enough of all the staff members, from the owners, office staff, key workers to the highly experienced therapists who helped me so “James”
