I came in here very, very unwell and they have done everything to make sure I had a comfortable stay, they attended to all my needs and there was no issue at all with any staff – they were so welcoming!
The food is great too, BIG LOVE.”
Bryn Cragg said: “Nova has literally saved my life. The staff are insanely friendly and helpful.
I learned so much about addiction and about myself, that’s given me the tools to handle my problem on the outside world.
They made me believe in myself and taught me to put myself FIRST.
I have battled cocaine addiction for over 6 years, I wish I found this place sooner.
I felt a family member and loved by all in Nova.
I HIGHLY recommend Nova for anyone who struggles with addiction. You will NOT be disappointed. The setting around this place is perfect for recovery, with a beach, hills, and things to make you find clarity.
I highly recommend this miracle place.”
