From Our Clients
Thank you for your support since I contacted you. The person I spoke to was wonderful. So much I've lived with for decades was explained. I felt I could be open, understood and acknowledged for the first time.
Linda
clientWe thought there was no way forward in our lives, that we would be constantly stuck in this awful situation and not be strong enough to pick ourselves back. You helped us turn our lives back on track and understand that we are not at fault. We didn't make him an addict; all we ever did to him was love him. Words cannot express how grateful we are to have found the service. You've helped us understand addiction and, most importantly, given us the tools to move forward.
