Jason - Alcoholic / Addict (Dubai) - June 2018

I had a problem with cocaine which turned into a full-blown addiction. Being in a high-pressure job in marketing and having to socialise lunchtimes and most evenings it quickly became a way of life and I was taking cocaine just to get the day started. Physically I had nose bleeds all the time and I was mentally confused. I started experiencing paranoia, which in turn made me seek medication for the fear, so eventually I was on tranquilisers and cocaine just get me through the day.

I was offered a job working in Dubai and I jumped at the opportunity. Many of my friends already working there said cocaine was difficult to get, hugely expensive and rare to find. I made the decision to start afresh with no drugs and I stopped taking the tranquilisers I had been prescribed. It was hard to stop but not as bad as I thought.

The job went well, and I started working out a gym with a personal trainer, I started to get fit again and even started to meditate. The job was going so well - we were out having lunch at beautiful restaurants and in hotel bars - it was the natural thing to do, have a few drinks over lunch and then cocktails before going home.

I knew I was a cocaine addict, but I had never had a problem with alcohol. Within three months my drinking was out of control and I found it difficult to wait for lunchtime to have a drink. I was threatened dismissal if I did not control my drinking, and I received a warning letter stating I would be fired if my breath smelt of alcohol.
Jason - Alcoholic / Addict (Dubai) - June 2018
I knew I needed help, I was close to losing everything – I searched the internet for a solution to my problems with alcohol and my addiction to drugs. I had an idea of what I wanted, a well-established treatment place, in a warm country, English speaking, with fully experienced staff. After studying different websites and varying price structures I chose Phoenix Programs, it ticked all the boxes for me.

After having an assessment over Skype, I was impressed with their professionalism and knowledge of the treatment I would need, and I made the appointment to go into rehab in their residential treatment centre in Spain.

It is difficult to explain in detail how much they helped me, but it was in the details that I found what I needed. After working through a full 12 step program, and then completing the aftercare program, I have not had a drink or a drug in over two years and I now live life to the full. I am now working back in Dubai and enjoying every moment of it.

Thank you to all the staff at Phoenix.

  • Michael - Alcoholic / Addict (Cyprus) - Feb 2020

    I needed an option that would work around my life and commitments. Phoenix’s Online treatment programme was the solution. I chose their recovery plus programme. so I had almost daily sessions with my therapist for the first month. I have struggled for years with anxiety and depression and I often used alcohol and drugs to combat the symptoms, severely damaging my health, and destroying relationships and my family in the process. I could see no way out of the mess and chaos..
     
     
  • Jack - Gambling Addiction (UK) - Apr 2021

    On my 18th birthday I was taken by some friends to a betting shop, I put a bet on a horse race – and I won. Amongst all the other excitement of the day it didn’t really register but about a year later I found myself inside a different type of betting shop, more like an arcade. It was classed as a casino though I wouldn’t call it a casino as I didn’t think it was posh or flashy enough – it was a big shop full of slot machines all with flashing lights and ringing noises and I spent about an hour shoving coins in the slots
