Cassiobury Court

I can only tell you my story, I arrived easter bank holiday Monday, a broken man, bewildered man, failing father, useless husband and an embarrassment of a son. Hanging onto my family by the thinest of threads. Having hurt everyone and everything I've ever loved and cherished. In 25 days Cassiobury, with its caring, passionate and brilliant never patronising staff, with support, but always caring group of peers has change my life forever. My story was like a rollercoaster, the gates are not locked you are not a prisoner and I did suggest leaving very early on. Only for a supportive hand on my shoulder and a word of wisdom to intervene. Cassiobury Court has change my life forever which I didn't think or dream was even possible arriving in a shell of a man. Cassiobury has give me the tools I need to combat this disease and fulfill my dreams which were once broken. I leave Cassiobury Court this morning a proud and positive man, looking forward to being your father, husband and son. The most importantly human being. Thank you

Everyone at Cassiobury court have been very supportive with my recovery and I have learnt a lot over the past 14 days. I am taking away some good tools to help me with my addiction. I look forward to seeing the piers at the aftercare service.

To all the staff at Cassiobury court, I cannot begin to express how grateful I am to you all. From the person who has no intention of giving up alcohol and coke as I didn’t really have a problem in my humble opinion, who has a huge temper tantrum about being forced in here to the person who is looking forward to the future. I have learned so much about myself and feel as I have come back to life. I know that the road ahead is going to be tough, frustrating and at times boring but thanks to you all, it is one that I want to take. I hope to see you all again, as my happy sober self. Again, from the bottom of my heart. Thank you. Sam

I cannot begin to say how grateful I am to Cassiobury Court. I came here after two suicide attempts and an addiction that it had spend most of my adult life. I didn’t even admit that I had an issue let alone want to get sober and clean. I leave here feeling hopeful about the future which is a feeling that I had not felt in a very long time. The staff here have all been amazing and they have taken so much from my journey here thank you

Having allowed myself sufficient time I was able to have a good detox and then have plenty of time to learn new tools to help one in my sobriety the staff provided excellent support. As usual, the peer support was just as valuable. The whole treatment programme has left me well prepared to face the future. Treatment and support staff very good at their job and very helpful. The kitchen and housekeeping staff were all very helpful and approachable & good at their job.

Practical Detox! Greater understanding of my addiction. Developing a plan for life without alcohol. Given the tools to achieve long term sobriety. Achieving a much better understanding of my disease. Realisation that im not alone. Resetting the real me. Learning to take one day at a time. Giving me access to some great and mutually supportive new friends. Seeing others in a far worse condition than I – ” There but for the grace…. Etc ” Inspired to succeed. Thank you all

The honesty and support of the staff and my peers. The external meetings were especially good well chosen and very open and well-wishing. Even when dealing with challenging situations the support staff were attentive and listened however volunteers do need to be supported in their continued sobriety. If a family member friend colleague required some support from the services we offer would you recommend step one recovery? Yes but the communication needs to improve and perhaps a more open mind to various criticisms rather than a defensive approach. It has been a bit hectic here the last few days much of which would have been avoided with forward-thinking.

I was in such a fragile state of mind that any issues problems or generally anything would make me drink and use. Being at Cassiobury court and being cut off from the outside world has helped me stay calm and provide a base to move forward. The workshops have helped me understand my disease and illness and provided some tools to assist in my recovery. All the CA/NA meetings have helped me understand that I’m not alone this is a fellowship of people who are all in the same situation as me. Lastly and by no means least the staff and clientele have really helped I have met some great people and hopefully made friends for life. I would recommend the step one programme.

The facility and staff here provided all the right tools to help me in getting the foundations to a healthy recovery. I am looking forward to embracing my recovery once out of this gate today, knowing I gave it my all with the help of the staff and other people I worked with on our common goal. To live not exist! I wish I had found this sort of treatment a few years ago.
