Gaining the knowledge and tools to stop drugs

"Gaining the knowledge and tools to stop drugs"

About: Lives Lived Well - Woolloongabba

(as the patient),

I'm an adult old male with a young family, loads of friends and a successful business but also had an issue with ice and other drug dependencies.

This was happening for a number of years, functioning what I thought was well, with not really anyone knowing. Eventually this came to a head and the drug had taken hold of me and I experienced drug-induced psychosis. These episodes gave me massive paranoia and crippled me mentally and physically.

At this point my life was starting to fall apart so I decided that I needed to get help. I called the number of a facility called Lives Lived Well and I was accepted into their day program at Woolloongabba.

In my experience, the program is life-changing and has given me the knowledge and tools to help me beat my dependencies. The staff are amazing, caring and so passionate about their work. The programs content is so valuable and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

The Lives Lived Well Woolloongabba day program experience has been life-changing for me, I feel now so much more positive about the future and stronger as a person because of it.
