After 5 years spent trying to manage her own addiction, Simone, from the UK, turned to Breathing Space Thailand for help. Simone was attracted to the programme at Breathing Space Thailand due to the fact that there is a maximum of only 5 people at any one time, and she'd never come across an addictions treatment centre that had its own spa.
"They tailored an individualised programme for me, which was something that I really felt I needed in my treatment. I liked the fact that they treated me like a human being and didn't label me as an 'addict' but rather someone who had attempted to find a way of coping with life by using drugs."
Simone spent a total of 6 weeks at Breathing Space Thailand and was able to reflect back on the achievements she was able to make for herself during her time there.
"I was the shy girl that would isolate from people and my self esteem had taken a beating. During my stay I found ways to have a new, healthy belief in myself and I learnt to regain control of my life."
"This was my first time in treatment but the experience was very different from anything I ever imagined treatment to be. I was so delighted with the accommodation, the resort, the cuisine, and the complementary therapy went way beyond my expectations. I especially enjoyed the excursions that were arranged by the Breathing Space Thailand staff. If there was an excursion I wanted to attend, provision was made and we would go! I'd never gone elephant riding before or visited a hill tribe or trekked through a tropical jungle to a beautiful waterfall - all of these things were made possible! Spending time on excursions really helped me to learn how to enjoy myself without needing to get high - something I was really terrified of ever being able to do!"
"My experience at Breathing Space Thailand is one that I will never forget. I was given a CD of pictures from the excursions so I have those memories of my early recovery with me. Now that I am back in London I'm engaging with the after-care that was provided for me & I have joined a gym and a Pilates class which I really enjoyed whilst I was at Breathing Space Thailand. I feel that I am now finally able to move forward in my life without the hindrance of active addiction although I have learnt
and accept that this is very much an on-going process for me."
"Thank you to Garrett and all the team at Breathing Space Thailand - you are always in my thoughts."
