Adferiad | Hafan Wen

In response to the negative review by Debbie, I have been in hafan wen 2 times and I can genuinely say that is not a true reflection of the place at all.It provdes a hugely important service ,available for free. If some think they are better than that, they are perfectly able to go to the the priory. To say you don't know who you are in there with shows the kind of attitude that is definitely going to rub people up the wrong way. That shouldn't cause you to subject this facility to a poor and unjustified review.

I was in hafan wen a few years ago I've been in there a good few times I found the place too be fantastic I relapsed a good few times but it's been nearly 4 years now and and am sobo off everythin ectext the subbtex I might just do it out hear nit sure yet but every time I've been in there they have treated me with respect they no me very well and recommended it too anybody who has a problem it's a detox unit not a playground so for the people sayin harsh word's about it they just didn't wanna do it but am proud too say like I sed am clean and soba and doin fantastic the groups are really good soild bace u have too want too do it thanks agen too the staff as they no me pretty well mell and all the staff do there best so best wishes Paul

I still have nightmares of how I was treated here even though it’s 3 years on now.Horrible people! Horrible.

What a place, absolutely incredible, all the staff were so friendly and helpful, Zoe who takes the group meetings was such an inspiration as was the majority of the staff. Life saving place, thank you so much for all your help Ashley Taylor

I have been to 2 detox units in my life this was the worst , I found the staff to be completely unhelpful and on there Web page they say about flexible treatment which turns out to be lies , for coming off herion I was given 1 sleeping tablet at night and nothing else to treat the symptoms of withdrawal, they seem to treat alcoholics much better it seems, there is nothing to do except watch tv or go outside to smoke neither of which I do , on top of that picture hospital food and you end up with a detox I would send a dog to , hope this helps

Well I’m totally disgusted with how they have handled the fact a member of staff took advantage of my vulnerability….. they were so great at first but then after Katie Louise ….. took advantage of me and now I can’t go back because they are scared that I will tell other residents what happened and I wouldn’t have but now I have no choice and yes it’s disgusting.

If you can wait for another detox place, do so!I’ve just been to one in Lancaster and what a comparison!Rude doctors who don’t care and likewise for the nurses and all staff working there.Absolutely diabolical place!

Avoid Avoid Avoid. Unfortunately, the staff are so unaware and the residents are left unsupervised for most of the time, therefore drugs, mainly weed, are easily taken into the unit and used. The external grounds have stashes of paraphernalia including foil.It has also been a hostile environment, with scenes of aggression racism and bullying. Theiving is done at every opportunity, so you have to watch your back at all times. If you become a victim of any of these crimes, you are likely to also be targeted by the staff and dismissed from the Unit because as the staff will aim for the person who is the most upset. (obviosly the victim). The staff have been very friendly but have also shown that they can switch when you least expect it.Family members are not allowed visits and with all of this going on, they are left sat at home worried at all times. There are no updates or communication from Hafan Wen, so it can be a very stressful and unsettled timeIt is very sad, but this is my true experience of Hafan Wen. Only go there if you are very desperate and its a last resort. It's pot luck who you are in there with!

The ONLY way I can describe my stay in Hafan Wen Detox Clinic is - lifechanging. After being an inpatient here for 2 weeks I am no longer dependant on Alcohol and thanks to the staff that organised it, I will be continuing my rehabilitation at Penrhyn House in Bangor for 6 months.I now understand my destructive behaviours that led to my addiction and can recognise and deal with cravings and urges. Every member of staff has been unbelievable to help me to get to this stage, I am motivated and for the first time positive about my future all thanks to the nurses / volunteers at Hafan Wen.I am not exaggerating to say I owe my life to Hafan Wen as my addiction was only going to lead to one thing. I can walk out hold my head up high and proudly say I am sober and with continued help go forth with my recovery leading to the best possible life for me and my children.From the bottom of my heart thank you so much to all the staff they are truly incredible and if anyone is lucky enough to get the opportunity to stay if they are unfortunate enough to need to, then speaking from experience grab the opportunity with both hands as if you want it and engage with the program it will change your life.Conor MathiesonPatient from 21/03/19 - 04/0419
