Changes UK Drug & Alcohol Rehabiliation Centre

Donation protected
My name is Scott. I’m a recovering addict. 12 months ago I had hit rock bottom; felt alone, broken and didn’t feel I could go on; the disease of addiction to alcohol and drugs had completely consumed me. Overtime, the disease was progressively getting worse but I was in complete denial and unaware what was happening. Thankfully, I found Changes UK and spent 4 weeks in the treatment centre. The qualified team have lived experience of addiction so were able to support me in the right way. I had to do a lot of work on myself E.g. addiction/support groups. It wasn’t always easy but it was exactly what I needed and gave me the solid foundation to continue my recovery in the outside world.
I am now over 10 months sober and EVERYTHING in my life is better - E.g. relationships, health, my view on life, self esteem.
The disease of alcoholism & addiction does not discriminate.
  • In England there are an estimated 602,391 dependent drinkers. Only 18% are receiving treatment.
  • Nearly 1.5 million adults will be significantly affected by a relative’s drug use
  • In 2021, there were 20,970 deaths that were related to alcohol in England, equating to a rate of 38.5 per 100,000 population.
Without Changes UK I would not be here.
I wrote and recorded a Christmas song with my band as it's a way for me to give something back as I’m truly grateful to Changes UK and to be alive. All proceeds will be going to Changes UK.
The song is called “Christmas Songs (Like They Used To) - the song is a reminder of the special times we have with our loved ones. Your donation could save someone's life. Thank you.
The song to raise awareness of addiction and to raise money for Changes UK is out now on iTunes, Spotify, Apple Music & all other platforms.

This was me about 18 months ago.

This photo was taken a only a few months after I came out of treatment.
