Report
My time at Refocus has been life changing. After a few hard years, I unfortunately developed an unhealthy relationship with alcohol. After arriving at Refocus, I discovered so much about myself and all the factors that let to this unhealthy lifestyle. The staff and counsellors are second to none, and ensure you feel supported and safe at a time of extreme vulnerability. You will learn so much about yourself, and be challenged in the ways you need to be, to ensure you reassess and can achieve the life you deserve. The setting at the Brighton Savoy is nothing short of amazing, with gorgeous rooms

Report
I was incredibly lost and broken when I came to refocus. I was full of anger and fear and I was unable to function without alcohol in my system. After 3-months at Refocus I have never been clearer and more optimistic about my future. A combination of expert and empathetic counselling & incredibly supportive and knowledgeable support workers put me back on track and gave me hope for a sober future. Thank you to all the staff at Refo.

Refocus and the Staff were there for me at a time I needed them most in my life even though at the time I thought I didn't.

I attended Refocus earlier this year for 4 months, for treatment of substance misuse issues. The Refocus program and all the wonderful people who work there have absolutely changed my life. They provide a safe and nurturing environment to get out of the comfort zone and get well. I have a beautiful life today and that is thanks to the program at Refocus and the foundation I was able to set for my recovery during my time there. I am incredibly grateful to Barb and the team at Refo. Thank you xx
