A rejuvenating experience. Great therapists, thought provoking and insightful sessions. Had a great cohort that made the stay enjoyable- the socialising and the conversations outside the programs were soul searching and helpful in the journey

I had a brilliant experience overall. As mentioned during our weekly feedback meetings, there were a number of issues that came up from week to week regarding the general maintenance of the building and garden. However, this did not take away from the positive experience I had. I was incredibly impressed by the whole team, from the cleaners and support workers to, of course, ALL of the therapists. Everyone played a part in making my experience such a positive and memorable one. I genuinely enjoyed my 4 weeks here and will never forget the experience or the support I received. Thank you all for everything.

I am leaving Life Works a new woman! General staff and therapists were wonderful. The only reason I chose 4 stars for two of the categories was because the place needs a bit of a polish and a refurb. Also in a heat wave it really needed air con in the bedrooms. Sleep is crucial in recovery.

Overall extremely pleased with the quality of care received during my time at lifeworks. The staff show real empathy and care and work with you to develop a recovery plan that really works. In addition the program includes lots of education on the background to the tools, topics and issues we encounter.

#PrioryBreakTheChain | Stories of addiction recovery

#PrioryBreakTheChain | Stories of addiction recovery

Addiction can run in families, but it doesn’t have to define your future. Behind every statistic is a family living with pain, fear and uncertainty - but recovery can bring freedom, hope and change. Jordan and Helen both grew up surrounded by addiction. For Jordan, losing his dad at 13 left him turning to alcohol and drugs as a way of coping. For Helen, alcohol became part of life from an early age, until her own drinking escalated to the point she felt ashamed, isolated, and unable to cope. With support, both found the strength to break the chain. Today, Jordan is rebuilding his life and creating a healthier future, while Helen has overcome her own struggles and discovered a new way forward. Watch their stories and discover more about our BREAK THE CHAIN campaign
