Woodland House, Astley Ainslie Hospital edinburgh

Helped me get clean and i will forever be grateful to all the staff for that. However i do feel like there’s a serious issue with the main doctor directing things’ theory. please correct me if i’m wrong but it partly feels like he is still fine tuning a theory he has over a long term experiment. i was at few years before my eventual diagnosis with severe Aspergers and ADHD. something i highly suspected i had at the time that really made a lot of parts of the process very difficult but consistently came up against a brick wall in terms of communication / understanding / help with regards my difficulties. i feel that there is a somewhat ruthless approach taken everyone there; with people who may have pre-existing, in my case at the time as yet undiagnosed, serious cognitive difficulties which the approach the course takes (addiction being the main problem and everything else is almost dismissed) fundamentally does not seem to take into account at all. That said, they helped me to get clean and i am truly thankful to everyone there for helping with that.
