"This is to testify to the professional and authentic approach that SAAAS Ltd bring to treating the complexities of addiction and dependency and it's associated recidivistic patterns. Their wide ranging programme equips clients with the tools necessary to accept the conditions of addiction and to feel confident that the skills learned whilst on the programme if applied can keep them substance free for the rest of their lives.

We have worked with SAAAS Ltd on many occasions and have always admired the obvious respect they have for the work they do and the professionalism they bring to the field of dependency treatment and intervention.

Sanctuary is among our top recommendations for treatment provision and of effective and ethical care. The collaborative therapeutic experience is valued by all."

My son recently returned to London following treatment at Sanctuary. I am so proud of what he has done with his life and cannot express enough gratitude to Russell and the staff for their constant support and care of my son, but also myself and my family. We will never be able to put into words what you guys have done for “all of us” God bless.

Felix, September 2007

"Prior to arriving at Sanctuary, my life had taken a severe downward spiral due to my addiction and I was frightened and alone and felt alienated from my family, freinds and loved ones. Now I am on the road to recovery and feel I have been given another crack at life, this is due to the support, care and help I have received from the staff at Sanctuary and I am forever grateful."

Tony G, November 2005

"The greatest decision I ever made was choosing Sanctuary for my treatment. I have been to 3 other rehabs in the past and this organisation, in my opinion are streets ahead of the rest in terms of their programme, staff and understanding of substance misuse."

Phil B, August 2005

"This is a testimonial to the staff at Sanctuary for helping me to get my son back into my life and reunite him with his daughter and partner. I am forever grateful to the help they gave me through the last 12 months."

Mrs S

"Today I have a fulfilled life. An existence I can be proud of. I work as a consultant to the Bristol Drug Strategy Team, as a service user from the User Feedback Forum; I am also the Chair of Embrace, the Black and Minority Ethnics service users' forum. I am currently doing an access course with a view to study Psychology at degree level.

None of those things would have been possible if I did not benefit from treatment at SAAAS. The treatment I received from Sanctuary gave me a new perspective on life; one where I approach life with positivity, honesty, and patience. A complete turnaround from the way I used to be before I went into treatment, as, a person who could not go a day without the use of drugs.

Thanks, a million."
