“It has been a long time however I thought I would send you a short note to show you how far our daughter has come since the time she spent with you. She is living independently and working, recently we celebrated her birthday with her. Our relationship with her is more real and honest.”

“Coming to Retreat South was the best thing I have done. I learnt how to deal with the stress created by my illness and how to say “I can’t do that” without feeling guilty. I know now that I can still have a great life, just by doing things differently. I think that’s the best thing I learnt.”

“I have tried several rehabs. It took lots of courage to decide to try once more, but I am glad I did. Retreat South offered me a completely private program that I was able to follow in a beautiful therapeutic setting. I am thankful the team at Retreat South were there for me. ”

“Two weeks at Retreat South after a 7 day detoxification from my alcohol habit was a challenging experience. But I learnt how to live without alcohol and how to recognise the triggers that had led me to develop my problems in the first place.I will always be grateful for the time I spent at Retreat South and the supportive way they helped me. ”
