I’ve been a client at Providence for over six months, experiencing a full spectrum of emotions, but the prevailing feeling has been a profound sense of connection and belonging. The atmosphere is one of love, unity, and genuine friendship. Regardless of which counselor you’re assigned to, all the staff are approachable and offer invaluable advice. Their unwavering knowledge and caring nature have genuinely saved my life. The entire Providence team, including clerical and support staff, has given me the strength and enthusiasm to apply what I’ve learned. As I leave, I’ll carry Providence in my heart and prayers forever. Thank you.
Providence has saved my life. When I arrived, I was physically, mentally, and emotionally drained; without this rehab, I’d be dead. They helped me rebuild my confidence and discover my true self. The counselors, especially Dougie, were incredibly understanding and crucial to my progress. After 12 weeks and now in aftercare, I finally know what I want for the first time in 24 years and am confident I’ll achieve my dreams. I highly recommend Providence to anyone seeking to overcome addiction. Even in aftercare, I miss Provi already and am deeply grateful. Thank you.
I can’t thank The Providence Project and its amazing team enough. What was supposed to be a four-week stay turned into six months because it was life-changing. As a single mother, leaving my daughter was hard, but it was worth it. The program helped me overcome my addiction to sleeping tablets and taught me valuable life skills, making me a better mother and person. This place gave me my life back and my daughter “a better mummy.” To any mother worried about treatment due to separation, it’s worth it—the benefits are priceless. Going to The Providence Project was the best decision I’ve made, and I’m forever grateful. Sarah x
The Providence Projects is a special place that saved my life when I had nothing left to give. The counselors are amazing, genuinely caring, and encourage you to be yourself in a supportive environment. They provide a deep understanding of addiction and the tools to prevent relapses. Since leaving The Prov, I am proud to live my life as a recovering addict. I will recommend The Providence Projects to anyone in need, as the possibilities it offers are endless.
I arrived at the Provy lost and broken after years of addiction and failed treatments, but something felt different here. From reception to support staff, everyone made me feel loved until I could love myself. For the first time, I received the help, knowledge, and tools I needed for lasting recovery. The unique approach, the supportive groups, and the house where I lived were crucial to my healing. Near death at the end of my addiction, I owe my life to Providence and my counselor, Clinton. Nearly two years clean and sober, I’m proud to be part of the Provy family, where the door is always open and the support is unwavering.
Providence has changed my life completely. From living a life with no hope, this place has taught my how to live again. The group therapy and 1-1 counselling really helped me to discover who I am and what I want from life, free from drugs and alcohol. The staff are excellent and I know I wouldn’t be where I am now without them. I’d recommend Providence to anyone who needs help. Give it a go and you won’t regret it.
