These referrals depending on where they decide to place me as there are 4 or 5 support groups depending on the severity or substance abused can take up to 3 months as the waiting list is huge but I will keep you informed of the outcome.
Also the support offered includes many options . Could be group therapy ,one to one , mediation(s) or a combination , they have day centres who arrange outings and activities such as cooking , woodwork etc etc .
Since I do not have what I could call a real pal maybe this human contact( outside my home) would do me the world of good especially knowing that everyone is there for the same reason which is to help with addictions and emotional issues .
