ADDICTION & HOMELESSNESS!

Please someone tell me how someone in Recovery is expected to succeed when the only option they are given of shelter is to show up at the huggard in Cardiff!!

Hi @HJ713 I'm so sorry. It sounds like your going through a lot in life at the moment. It's important you get the support you need as well as shelter.

Is it ok to get a bit more information to help me understand please? How were you directed to Huggard and are you comfortable staying there short term?

If not, I've found a few options in Wales who might be able to support. I wasn't sure if you'd already been in contact with your local council or not.

Government:

Support if you are homeless or about to become homeless | GOV.WALES

Shelter

Urgent helpline: 08000 495 495

Our helpline is open 9am – 4pm Monday to Friday.

I know it's not a long term solution, but I've added a few contacts for immediate support:

Dan:

DAN 247 – Wales Drug and Alcohol Helpline

Call 08088 082 234.

Dan 24/7 is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Calls from UK landlines are free (some mobile phone networks may charge).

With you:

Please take care of yourself.

Holly.

Hi I am so sorry that your struggling at moment. I don't know but just seen this and hope u don't mind me commenting. Can I just say first of all your doing so well in recovery. I am from Newport I have just finished peer mentor academy with gdas. I didn't realised how much they really do to help other. Would u mind me asking if ur in treatment. I respect u for being in recovery but I don't understand your vulnerable adult we all are but come on u got this. This is same everywhere its wrong the way people are treated
