For over 20 years Broadway Lodge has been meeting students in secondary schools across Bristol and Somerset to educate young people about drugs, alcohol and harmful behaviours such as eating disorders and self-harming.
We recently published a piece of writing by Donna Newman which details what recovery is and the actions and behaviours that may be employed by someone early in recovery.
When addiction exists alongside a mental health condition such as Anxiety, Depression, an eating disorder, Bi-polar, Schizophrenia and Borderline Personality Disorder, it is referred to as ‘dual diagnosis’.
We’d like to share this piece of writing about an existential experience of somebody who was in treatment with us several years ago and is now over two years clean.
Our guest blogger has written a number of captivating blogs exclusively for Broadway Lodge which detail their recovery experience since leaving treatment here in 2017.
If you or someone you know is suffering with addiction and would like to make your first life-changing step towards recovery, you can speak to us confidentially on 01934 812319 or send us a message.
