The concept of spending ‘the most wonderful time of the year’ in rehab, away from your loved ones is understandably upsetting💛

Here at Delamere, many of our experts are in recovery themselves, and can totally empathise with those difficult feelings. But, they are also living proof of the power of choosing recovery, for the benefit of all the magical Christmases yet to come.

Our Recovery Mentor Adam says: “With well over 100 years of abstinence from substances in here, we can take that experience and change it into hope for our guests.”

We’re proud of Adam, and anyone who makes the life-changing decision to grow beyond addiction - and we warmly invite you to follow along for the next part in this series.

“People want me around now. I’m a service to people now, rather than a hindrance.”

Here, in part two of our Recovery Mentor Adam’s Christmas story, he shares the stark difference between the Christmases he spent in the depths of his addiction, compared to Christmases now spent with those closest to his heart.

Addiction thrives in isolation, and Adam spent many Christmases feeling lost and alone, like he was missing out. Now, through the relationships built during his recovery and the trust he’s worked hard to rebuild with loved ones, Christmases are a much happier time of the year.

This is the second of a six-part series in which we document Adam’s heartfelt words of encouragement for those choosing to spend Christmas in rehab. We’re incredibly proud of Adam, and our remarkable guests who choose to grow beyond addiction.

We caught up with Psychiatrist, Dr. Catherine Carney, to find out how drastically ketamine use has changed throughout her career.

She says: “I’ve worked in addictions for 25 years, and 25 years ago I wouldn’t have known about ketamine as a drug that caused addiction, or any major problems.”

Ketamine is making headlines more and more regularly due to the devastating consequences of its use. Here at Delamere, we’re proud of the holistic approach we take to treating those with a ketamine addiction, and continuously striving to raise awareness of its dangers.

Delamere is open for our guests 24/7, 365 days a year, which includes Christmas Day🎄

We sat down with our Guest Liaison Manager and Compliance Lead Jess to talk about what life is really like here at Delamere over the festive period.

She said: “I worked on Christmas Day last year. It was my first time, so I didn’t know what to expect. I was a little sad that I wasn’t going to be able to spend all of it with my loved ones. But being here, it still feels like being with family at Christmas.”

From colleagues and guests looking forward in the same way to the inescapable festive spirit within the clinic, we strive to ensure our guests can still make the most of the magic of Christmas despite being away from their loved ones.

Ever wondered what the experience of Christmas in rehab is like?

Our wonderful Recovery Mentor Adam has shared his story to provide a beacon of hope for those struggling with addiction this Christmas. Adam is a shining light at Delamere, offering our guests so much hope and inspiration.

He'd told us: “I have spent a Christmas in prison, and I’ve also been in active withdrawal on Christmas Day. I wasted most of the day, waiting to take a substance that made me feel normal. I feel sad for that person.”

Adam’s addiction to substances like he**in led him to some pretty dark places. On one occasion, he spent Christmas in prison, wracked with overwhelming feelings of guilt, shame and remorse.

Now, his incredibly inspiring recovery journey is his greatest tool of empowerment, as he guides our guests hand-in-hand towards their own new life.

This is the first of a six-part series in which we document Adam’s heartfelt words of encouragement for those spending Christmas in rehab this year. We’re so proud of Adam - and all our guests who choose to grow beyond addiction - and we warmly invite you to follow along for the next part in this series.

Substances, particularly alcohol, are generally used more frequently around the Christmas period, when office parties and family celebrations fill our diaries. But what is the biggest red flag that somebody’s recreational use of ‘party drugs’ has become a bigger problem?💭

Our Psychiatrist Dr. Catherine Carney shares some of the biggest signs somebody may be slipping into more worrying substance use.

She says: “It’s the last person at the party, the person that doesn’t want to go home at the end of the night. The person who wants the party to keep going, or somebody who in a pattern is found in the toilets unconscious, or they can’t remember the night.

“It’s behaviour relating to seeking a drink or a drug when their peers are not doing that, and it’s not their normal pattern of behaviour. It’s about recognising a change in somebody’s pattern of use, it becomes a primacy, it becomes the prime focus. Rather than a night where you’re talking to people and socialising, it’s a night where the drug or the alcohol becomes the main focus.”

"It's a great example of the care and the dedication the staff have here, I'd describe every single one of them as angels."
