For addiction recovery to last, life has to feel better without alcohol and drugs. Of course, stopping alcohol and drugs is the essential first step. However, to continue choosing recovery each day, satisfaction really matters.

In this blog, we’re celebrating our clients’ satisfaction levels:

  • Working with their focal therapist, we ask our clients how they feel before and after addiction treatment with Help Me Stop.
  • They rate their satisfaction with physical health, psychological health, relationships, work, and quality of life.
  • These results are compiled from 56 recent graduates from our face-to-face Dayhabs and our Online Rehab.
  • These men and women, aged 20 to 73, are all based in the UK.
