Success Stories
A selection of testimonials from clients who wish to share their experiences of TTP Detox.
I came to TTP Bradford 16 days ago, when I stepped through those doors I felt fragile & very vulnerable, just like the eggs we all had to look after. As the pain from the heroin grew weaker, this little egg became stronger & stronger each day, until today. I am strong enough to crack anything. Now free & clean from heroin. I sit here in front of you like a bird of prey, perched on the edge of its nest, I am ready. With thanks to all the staff here at TTP Bradford & all the real friends I have made, you have all helped give me the power & the courage to stay strong, to stay clean. You have armed with the tools. I know where to go & feel. Enough about me, let me spread my wings & fly, fly away. I will be back for a flying visit, one day soon I promise.
I would just like to say a big thank you to all staff for everything you have done. I will miss you all.
I came to TTP Bradford feeling really low and no confidence. I was on 80mls of methadone and using about 5 bags of gear a day. I’ve done 32 days and I’m clean now, feeling really good in myself and my confidence is back. I look a lot better now, I’ve done detox’s in jails and found them really hard, sometimes suicidal, but here in TTP you are made really welcome by staff and peers. In group talks I learnt loads, letting my emotions out and talking really helps. My key worker, Ricky, is really easy going, he’s got a lot of information to give and I’ve learnt a lot from him. My detox was pretty easy, no major pains, just a few sleepless nights and leg pains. TTP has saved my life, so respect to all staff for all the help and support. I would recommend addicts to come here when they feel ready and not to rush into things. The accommodation and rooms are spot on.
Before I came to TTP Bradford, I was in a world of mess even though I had my beautiful family around me. I was taking methadone, which I still do at the moment, this is something I hope to come back to detox off.
This time at TTP, I came to detox off alcohol (vodka), I was drinking between 70cl at 37% to a litre and a half every day for 9 months, before that I was drinking 6 litres of White Lightening all day, every day, for 6 years. I was quite a loner and I was doing heroin in those days as well as 130ml of methadone. Now I’m on 70mls of methadone and I haven’t used heroin for 3 ½ years and I’m alcohol free now after my 2 weeks detox here at TTP thanks to you and me. I’ve done it! I know the hard work starts now. (COME ON!) I’ve had my ups and down’s to be honest during my stay here, but in general it’s been excellent. The staff and peers have been great and understanding which is great in itself. I felt it hard to show my emotions at times but in the end I had my cries in front of people but I felt I could because no-one judged me or laughed at me, so it was good to be able to let go.
Well without TTP, I wouldn’t be at the point that I’m at today so thank you everyone.
Thanks a million times staff and peer.
I’ll miss you.
I was broken, needed something to help mend me. So I was shown by my worker a place ever so friendly. I’ve worked on what matters to help me stay clean. Now I’m so grateful for such a brilliant team, we support each other in all kind of ways. I’ve been here 3 weeks and really feel great. So if you are considering getting yourself here, I promise you this, you have nothing to fear.
Arriving at TTP, I was nervous but the staff were very welcoming and friendly and so were the other residents. I have not laughed so much as I have in the last few days with the staff and residents alike. Any worries or problems have been resolved as quickly as possible to put my mind at rest! As here at TTP you need only worry and concentrate on one thing to TRUST THE PROCESS!
TTP is the best place to be for your recovery. I was scared to come through the doors but once I got in I felt so happy. TTP has changed my life from misery to a brilliant recovery and my future is so much better for coming here. All the staff are loving, caring and sharing so if you’re on drugs or alcohol, get yourself down to TTP, you will get the best recovery just like me.
Before I came to TTP, my life was a bit of a mess. I was drinking heavily, I had low self esteem and my confidence was very low. I didn’t really have many friends if I am honest and didn’t want any, but when I joined TTP I have made many new friends and through the structured work we do, it has built my confidence and my self esteem is higher. I would recommend it to anyone who wants the help to make that step because I can say through experience it’s the right step.
When I first came into TTP, I was a proper mess, didn’t know what it would be like, I was nervous, but was soon made at ease with staff and other clients. I feel 100% positive now, 100% healthy, the things I’ve learnt and all the new skills TTP have taught me I will never forget. This was the best choice I’ve ever made in my life. Anybody who’s serious about getting clean and sober this is the place to be.
