Harry,

Thanks for the succinct and honest review of our treatment centre at Leatherhead!

I will forward the bribe of thousands of pounds forthwith.

Thanks, Tony@CS
I have tried to make my report as factual as possible. What I would like to say on a personal level is how all of your team came across.
Such dedication is rare, these days. If I had to sum up their attitude, I would say, compassionate and humane. They are a credit to you mate.
Once Mutley posts his input then I will make this Topic an "announcement only" topic so that it will be easilly accessible to all.
And by the way Tone, do you still want the alloys for the Cozzy?

Aye, Harry

Harry and I had a debrief session before he posted his report, so I have very little to add.

One important contribution though is that alternative treatments are discussed, and explained to you - apparently many arrive with GPs having prescribed entirely the wrong medication. You return home with knowledge (and knowledge is power). And if you want a letter that says Oy big nose get the medication right - you get one

The staff tend to leave the withdrawn, the non-participants, because experience tells them one of the other guys will take them under their wing ........ (Buddy, buddy).

Finally two points about sleep:
1. if the only way you can sleep is under a brushwood bivvy, then thats okay!
2. if you sit up all night chatting to a new found oppo and want to sleep all day, thats therapy too!

I am not one for badges and the like, but I now have a Combat Stress lapel pin - It is with great pride that I wear it. Tony, thanks to you all for making us feel so welcome and for the encouragement.

In hoc Vinces.
