I came in here broken, and I have extended my stay twice as a new I was not ready to go home. I have learnt so much more this time round, yes I have relapsed before, but now this is my time. The empathy, compassion I have been given by such a dedicated team is priceless. I now have the tools I believe to do this . I will keep coming back to the after care that they offer. This is the next phase for my continuing recovery.

I came to Recovery Lighthouse a broken woman with no hope or belief that I deserved or could ever have any kind of life again. I was wrong. Although I feel I still have a long way ahead in terms of recovery, which is why I will be continuing secondary rehabilitation at Sanctuary Lodge, I have changed dramatically and have reevaluated my future and believe now I have the physical, emotional and mental strength to cope on the outside and to believe in myself. The counsellors are all fantastic, although I wish there was more time for more one to one time, I still feel there is so much more I could talk about. The only suggestion I would make is to include some more activities in the timetable, some Yoga one evening to help after such an intense day of groups. Some evenings I struggled mentally and it would be nice to have some kind of escape from the turmoil inside my head! I will leave here a new person, I have never felt so safe and protected, and so cared for. The biggest shout out goes to the care staff. They were all wonderful and I found them more beneficial than anything, as they were always available. Will never forget them.

The recovery lighthouse is absolutely amazing and life changing. I have learnt so much about myself, my addiction, the 12 steps and life skills. It's so sad to leave this wonderful place and the gorgeous people who have helped me every step of the way, but I am so excited to start my journey of sobriety! At first I was terrified and thought I was being dragged into a funny farm, boy was I wrong! This place is so welcoming and supportive, the staff are truly amazing at what they do. I will forever have this place in my heart. My gratitude for this rehab and programme is overwhelming! I LOVE THE RECOVERY LIGHTHOUSE! ...plus the food is great! ??????????

I originally signed up for a detox but extended to 28 days. Very glad that I did as I have learnt so much. The Lighthouse is wonderful place for recovery and the therapy you receive is life changing. Big thank you to all everybody be at The Lighthouse....you are all amazing! xx
