Dealing with organisations and going through all the stages can be more frustrating, slow and difficult than we'd like. But addiction is ofcourse a tricky subject, as is running a company like this I imagine... especially when there are so many people in need. We are all human and most of us are just doing the best with what we have available. And although I wish some things were different with ARA (and the world), I think it's good to keep our expectations realistic. In the end, ARA was the only place that really helped me whilst in a truly awful situation... They gave vital hands-on support when I was living in a dangerous environment, encouraged better habits, helped me move out, tried to take me under their wing and link me to important services & groups, and eventually gave funding to help get me on my feet again and start a new life. It made a big difference and im not sure where I'd be now without it. I humbly say... thank you.
Highly recommended. Non-judgmental professional support in one to one and/or group sessions.
Highly recommended. Also offer, Drop ins for anyone who needs help with an addiction with a housing need. You will be met with a smile, respect & appreciation of your hard situation and needs. I strongly recommend reaching out to them if you need help and in the Bristol area.
An amazing organization who really care about the work they do, our agency has worked Ara Recovery For All with them on projects in the last year and would highly recommend them to anyone interested in gaining mental health support to stop gambling, as well as other addictions such as drink and drugs, or help with homelessness.
