Parklandplace Reviews

Beautiful place and staff I came here precisely 12 months ago today and I am coming back on the 14th due to a relapse after 4 months soba from alcohol, I know wot to expect this time, but the staff are so lovely and extremely good good at monitoring patients no matter why your there l, the on site chef is brilliant as he cooks all meals 3 times a day in the mansion if you ever end up going in to Parkland place be rest assured you will be fine, good luck and stay blessed to anyone who comes to this centre you will leave with a massive smile, you can do this there is still hope to escape addiction and parkland place is where to start after leaving it's all aboit you take care everyone

Some of the staff are lovely. Mark, Alex and Lorraine come to mind. Unfortunately, some of the others are on power trips. The manager doesn't seem to care about any patients opinions and they enforce rules which don't exist. There is no gym. Just a filthy garage with 3 cycling machines and a rowing machine, all of which are in awful condition. Someone who I became close friends with while I was there, has currently been waiting to see a doctor since Sunday. His ankles are so swollen he can barely walk, and he's in a lot of pain. He still hasn't been informed when he will be seen. If you enjoy being sent to bed like a child, and not being allowed to play a card game for no apparent reason. Then this is the place for you. I was forced to leave early simply because I challenged the power-tripping staff on their "rules" (which aren't actually rules), and for discussing the situation that led me to alcohol. If you have ANY other choice of detox, I would make it a priority to avoid this place.

I was only at parklands place for a week but learned alot from that week. All the staff were so welcoming and all the residents loved all the groups and recovery walk and especially loved the box off and outdoor walks. The tools and knowledge you learn from the staff and residents is incredible I just need to now put the action and work in on the outside I've done it before with the alcohol but never the gambling so got loads in place for been out so will hopefully be ok with the gambling aswell. I really loved the connection and feel good safety network you got and there was one staff member I clicked to more than others which was cat I really enjoyed our one to ones and the box off and what I've learned from her I'm good to use on the outside would recommend this place to anyone that needs the help to fight addiction and even though my time was short it was worth it I just hope I get my counciling calls and my calls from parkland to keep in touch.

Best decision I made going here to get the help I need, the staff are lovely and the chefs make really good food, haven’t got a bad word t say about the place, thank you again for all the help

Hello, I have been home from parkland 3 weeks tomorrow & I was there for 6 weeks, its hard for me to put into words just how much coming to parkland has changed My whole life, I walked in broken & I left a happy & confident women with so much love and excitement for my future that I didn't think or believe was possible. If you are ready to change then go for it, and put your heart and soul into taking advantage of everything that is on offer, it's not easy but it's worth it to get your life back...if you want to live instead of exist then I hope you make the best decision of your life because it really was mine oh and the food is amazing and the rooms and grounds are beautiful.....wish anyone reading this strength, love and success in recovery xxx🥰❤️😘😆

Im home sweet home from parklands detox now the fun begins i like to say the people and staff i met were amazng sorry im not great with names love lee davey

My stay at parkland was like staying at 5 star hotel and having great food going for days out with nice people the staff at parkland helped me get into a healthy routine , eating at regular meal times , meditation , exercise and councelling all things I never in a million years thought would help and how wrong I was ,I was a person in denial with my addiction and didn’t think words could change the way I was but was so wrong, I’m very happy I stepped through that door and got the help I very much needed staff at parkland helped me work through my demons whilst I was there and have continued to help me since I’ve come out , and now being over 9weeks clean from cocaine and counting has made me a better person. I would strongly recommend people to take that step into the place that changed my life.

Literally saved my life then gave me a life worth living If your reading this review and looking for a way out, a place to get better then I know exactly where your at. The good times ended years ago and now your left just mentally and physically self harming. My primary substances where herion and Crack cocaine, my mental health was at such a low point I was self harming and looking at bridges thinking that, that was the only way out. From the very beginning parkland place was there for me when I honestly didn't care no more. When you first get to parklands place your overwhelmed but the surrounding and comfort/luxury of the place and the kindness from staff put you instantly at ease. You have your own spacious double room equipped with TV and on-suite. Food is prepared for you by the chef and the menu is restaurant quality, you even have your room and clothes cleaned for you, so you can completed concentrate on the work you need to do to get better. ( tbf i enjoyed doing my own cleaning ). So how does the program work ? Once my care plan was discussed it was split between cbt groups, one to one's, counseling and mindfulness activities. Each part working together to create all i needed to address thoughts, feelings and beliefs that affected me so negatively. On a personal level i can not express how amazing the professional staff team were, from the manager visiting me in detox to get an idea of what my care plan was going to be, to a staff member that introduced me to boxing and constant talks about positive affirmations, the power of a positive mindset and the confidence to try anything. To the current managers one to one and aftercare talks, that gave me a safe space to discuss my progress I can honestly say I was blessed. The rest of the staff team were all incredible with their own set of skills and experience to guide you through the process. My main advise is to get honest, be willing and open minded to change, and challenge yourself everyday to thinking differently about how you view yourself and other around you. Lastly I've been told on many occasions that people like me don't get better, but honestly, if you work your butt off and take the opportunities given at parklands place, you will leave a better person that's able to live clean and sober.

Really appreciate your help and support at parklands lovely staff food amazing can't thank them enough supp support at my stay

I've only had a few days here but Parkland Place Lancashire is beautiful. All the staff are amazing and can't do enough for you at any time of day or night. The food is great and thanks to both Pete and Haydn the chefs. Also a special thank you to Nicki the nurse and Jason one of the support workers who both spent time with me and really helped me. Thanks RW

I have been through the salus/parkland detox and rehabilitation twice once in 2019 and again in 2020/21 I would highly recommend this place I was a paying customer and could not fault any of the nursing staff they were all extremely caring and compassionate to my needs as i ws heavily addicted to alcohol at the time and if you know you know how bad it can be this place has saved my life I am now 2yrs addiction free and have a new lease of life I cannot repay my gratitude enough thankyou to all staff members past and present. Kind regards David Owen

The staff, nurses and chef are brilliant here. They checked on me regular 24/7 and if I was struggling they were there for me. The medication was on time everytime. The group work was very helpful. Me giving my story and listening to others. I definitely think Pete the chef should get a pay rise. He was consistently good at his job. Great food everytime. Added note. The rooms you get when you first arrive need updating. They do the job but they need some work. The rooms you move onto however when you do not need so much monitoring are very good. This is the second time I've been to this detox. I was a paying customer so that im guessing says it all because i could have gone elsewhere but didnt. Hopefully this is the last time i ever have to go there. Obviously for my own health. The staff here are the best! Except a couple of moody staff members but on a whole the rest were great.

Well what can I say wow!! This place changed my life and my total way of thinking. My personal story is an analogy of the film the Wizard of Oz For over 30 years I was stuck in a whirlwind of anxiety, stress, low self esteem and always looking over my shoulder. The whirlwind grew stronger and reached cyclone proportions due to my addiction. I was stuck in this cycle and could see the destruction happening around me . The relationships being destroyed, the homes wrecked, my life was chaos. Enough was enough….. I landed on the yellow brick road which was my first big step to starting recovery. My journey to see the wizards/staff at Parkland Place/Emerald City was my destination. As I walked along the yellow brick road I came across a scarecrow. He stated he had no brain and wanted the wizards to give him one. As we walked the wicked witch kept tormenting, the wicked witch being the addiction. Further along the way we met the Tin-Man . He stated he had no heart and wanted to join the journey to see the wizards at Parkland Place. Again we all joined the brick road and again the wicked witch would torment. The 3rd person we met was the lion . He said he didn’t have any courage and wanted to join us to get this from the wizards at Parkland Place. We eventually arrived at Parklands Place. We explained out story and requested a brain a heart and courage. The wizards said we can’t give you that because you already have them you just need to learn how to use them . Over the next 4 weeks I learned about intrusive thoughts and my core beliefs. I learned about over thinking and worry . I was given the tools to start re-training my brain and started to remember I had a great brain I just did not know how to use it properly. The same for my heart . I did not know how to love myself and lost all self worth. How could I love others if I could not love myself. Again I learned I had a big heart full of love and I remembered how to love myself again. I always had a heart but never told myself that . As for courage I had lost all of that until I told my story and described my feelings. again with the helpful wizards of Parkland Place I rediscovered my inner strength and motivation. I had plenty of courage I just needed the support and tools to use it . By the time I left I wasn’t scared of anything. With all the help of the wizards at Parkland Place along with the other guests/munchkins I defeated the Wicked Witch and returned home to a peaceful environment where I can use everything I have learned to my advantage and use any coping strategies I require in my daily life . The decision to take the yellow brick road to Parkland Place was the best I had ever made . I would encourage anyone with an addiction to follow it and with the Wizards help I’m sure you can return to peace .
