Brilliant place for sobriety and or beating addictions stayed there in 2000 /2001 finished level 4 after leaving i did have a slip for a short time, though since 03 ive been living clean and Sober from drugs and alchol, i learnt so much whilst i was there & it wasnt till i actually left that i put into place all i had learned, im now living a clean happy healthy life, thanks to the support of oddessey and staff.
I was here 12 years ago and have been sober ever since. The staff, the program and location were perfect for me at the time. I could not recommend this place highly enough.
The effects of drug addiction have been a persistent and overwhelming problem in my life. Despite my efforts to break free, it has continued to hold me back and cause countless difficulties. Before entering rehab, the relapses I experienced were a constant reminder of my inability to control my addiction. I felt like I was losing the battle, and I was losing hope of ever being able to overcome it. I never thought I’d be in a place where I needed to go to rehab, but I’m so grateful I ended up at this one. The staff was patient and understanding, and the programs helped me understand my addiction in a new way. I will always be thankful for my time here.
