"My recovery at Logan House"

About: Lives Lived Well - Logan House

(as a service user),

I feel very lucky to have a great treatment facilitator (TF) called Branca. Branca has been supporting me thoroughly throughout my whole stay here, she's been kind compassionate and caring from the moment I got here. I truly feel that she's helped me perceive the program and always given me a friendly ear to listen when I've needed a chat. I took a lot away from the classes and although I didn't know too much about cognitive behavioural therapy, I learned a fair bit form the hands-on lessons and the professional teaching styles of the TF's.

John's classes were particularly useful and practical. I was here for 2 months for alcohol and although at times I struggled with boredom and my own demons, I feel that I've come out a better person and feel ready to face whatever the world throws at me. I would like to extend my gratitude to all of the staff for their untiring efforts and to always remain professional and caring, which I feel must be a hard task sometimes as I believe people in early recovery can be a tad irritable and unpredictable at times.

I've booked into getting into another rehab facility as I feel like the program wasn't quite long enough but in my opinion, it is good for highly functioning people that need to go back to work and get their lives on track. Although my experience was good here, I hope this is the last time I will be in a rehab facilitation as I have much to accomplish and with the right support I hope to see people again, never in a setting like this.

Hello Symbtiotek,

Thank you for your story about your experience at Lives Lived Well's Logan House. It is great to know that it has helped you be a better person and ready to take on whatever comes your way even though there were periods of boredom and dealing with your demons. The right support for you is what is important and perhaps a longer time frame may have been what you needed.

Thank you for your acknowledgement of the staff, their work and their patience and understanding at certain times. In particular, you mentioned Branka and John. I will make sure all the Logan House staff are aware of your comments.

I wish you all the best in the journey ahead. Please be in contact with us at Lives Lived Well if we can support you further.

Warm regards,

Gerard
