Some kind words shared from our service users.

I would like to say thank you to Addictions North East for their support they have offered me and the part they have played helping me get my life back.

After some period in recovery I found myself in a position where I felt so alone and unsure of what to do. I had relapsed and thought that everything was lost.

I am grateful for the compassion shown by Addictions North East and for the serviced they offered. The team supported me to regain control and after a period in shared accommodating they placed me in a home of my own.

I could not be happier, and I am now grateful for my journey to this point. Thank You once again to the Addictions NE team for not judging me but helping me.


When I first left treatment, I was worried about returning to my old area. So many of my friends are caught up in the cycle of addiction and I was fearful that going back to my neighbourhood would lead to me relapsing.

Thankfully, Addictions North East offered me safe supported housing in a lovely location and really helped me take that next step into society. Thank you, Addictions North East.


As a parent I can not say thank you enough for the support and help my family received from Addictions North East. I thought I was out of options as my daughter could not stop drinking.

We had tried everything and were unsure of what to do next. Thankfully, my daughter got recommended this service and is now so much better.

The team at Addictions North East arranged support for me alongside my daughter and to see her doing this well means the world to me. The team are so understanding of both her and I.

I feel as though I am becoming a better person as a result. Thank you for bringing our daughter back to us and thank you for all you have done for me too.
