They saved my life
I entered Holgate House in Feb 2019, knowing nothing about recovery, and not even sure I was ready to admit that I was an addict. As soon as I arrived and met the other peers and staff I knew this was the place I was meant to be, finally feeling like I belonged. The staff are amazing, they love you till you can love yourself again, they totally understand how you are feeling and never judge you for your life choices and traumas. I’d had counselling in the past, but was never able to be totally honest, it was easy to get totally honest there, my counsellor knew exactly how to help me open up. At the end of my residential treatment I was able to continue my recovery journey in one of their recovery houses and attending their daycare centre, it was the perfect stepping stone back into life. I am now 19 months clear and sober, I have a lovely new home, started studying again and volunteering in services. I cannot thank Holgate House and their staff enough for the love and support they gave me, forever grateful
