Jason - Alcoholic / Addict (Dubai) - June 2018

I had a problem with cocaine which turned into a full-blown addiction. Being in a high-pressure job in marketing and having to socialise lunchtimes and most evenings it quickly became a way of life and I was taking cocaine just to get the day started. Physically I had nose bleeds all the time and I was mentally confused. I started experiencing paranoia, which in turn made me seek medication for the fear, so eventually I was on tranquilisers and cocaine just get me through the day.

I was offered a job working in Dubai and I jumped at the opportunity. Many of my friends already working there said cocaine was difficult to get, hugely expensive and rare to find. I made the decision to start afresh with no drugs and I stopped taking the tranquilisers I had been prescribed. It was hard to stop but not as bad as I thought.

The job went well, and I started working out a gym with a personal trainer, I started to get fit again and even started to meditate. The job was going so well - we were out having lunch at beautiful restaurants and in hotel bars - it was the natural thing to do, have a few drinks over lunch and then cocktails before going home.

I knew I was a cocaine addict, but I had never had a problem with alcohol. Within three months my drinking was out of control and I found it difficult to wait for lunchtime to have a drink. I was threatened dismissal if I did not control my drinking, and I received a warning letter stating I would be fired if my breath smelt of alcohol.
Jason - Alcoholic / Addict (Dubai) - June 2018
I knew I needed help, I was close to losing everything – I searched the internet for a solution to my problems with alcohol and my addiction to drugs. I had an idea of what I wanted, a well-established treatment place, in a warm country, English speaking, with fully experienced staff. After studying different websites and varying price structures I chose Phoenix Programs, it ticked all the boxes for me.

After having an assessment over Skype, I was impressed with their professionalism and knowledge of the treatment I would need, and I made the appointment to go into rehab in their residential treatment centre in Spain.

It is difficult to explain in detail how much they helped me, but it was in the details that I found what I needed. After working through a full 12 step program, and then completing the aftercare program, I have not had a drink or a drug in over two years and I now live life to the full. I am now working back in Dubai and enjoying every moment of it.

Thank you to all the staff at Phoenix.

Other Testimonials

  • Jo – Alcoholic (Spain) - Jul 2020

    I had always used alcohol as a way to relax and deal with anxious feelings, but a combination of boredom and uncertainty saw my alcohol consumption increase substantially to the point where I was getting through several bottles of wine a day. I had lost all interest in my appearance, the apartment… even my partner and was spending my days on the sofa with a glass in hand. My partner, who had seen his own father fall victim to alcoholism was becoming increasingly worried.
