As a very long term alcoholic and drug user I never thought any rehab would work for me but at Ocean I realised there was so much more to life than drinking and getting high.

I had 28 days in Ocean and after my detox I started to really take in their ideas of living a sober drug free life. All the staff were experienced, friendly and very knowledgeable about the world of addiction and helped me focus on changing my lifestyle.

I knew, they knew it was not going to be easy making such a big decision but they guided me through a new thought process and a new way of thinking.

I am living a new happy exuberant life now and I thank the Ocean team for that. Its early days for me, 5 months sober but I will never forget the Ocean way.

The residency is in a very positive prominent position with lovely sea views, the accommodation excellent and the food menu very healthy, variable and delicious.

I would strongly recommend the Ocean Recovery Centre in Blackpool to anyone who wants to make a change and experience a bright new healthy focus on life.
