Parkland Place Lancashire

I attended Salus in October 2021 and stayed for two weeks. All the staff were fantastic, professional, hard working and dedicated. They helped me get off prescription pain medication which I’d been on for 13 years. It’s now been a year free of them for which I’m thrilled. I couldn’t have done it without their help. I’ll always be grateful.

Having seeing a recent promotional advertisement regarding Salus Hall, I feel the need to express my experience whilst staying there. My experience at Salus Hall was far from pleasant. I feIt like it was totally unmanaged, relying on random nurses to keep the place going by just giving out drugs 4 times a day for a routine detox program. There was no counselling provided, no therapy given and no guidance from any professional staff during my stay, from which I gained nothing from it at all. It felt to me like just being in a prison. I felt isolated at most times of the day with no form of direction on what was going on with the day to day routine and what was expected of me. I paid £2500.00 for a week just to let a random nurse hand me a few detox tablets 4 times a day. I would personally avoid it like the plague. And In reflection, it did me more harm than good. I tried to voice my opinion which only fell on deaf ears. I felt this company exploits the disadvantaged at their time of need. Upon completing their detox treatment. I felt like they just thrown you a few tablets, sent you home with no aftercare or any information on future support. I feel that Salus group is a money making business that puts money over client’s needs. Since completing my time at Salus, I have heard from other Health Care providers that don’t recommend Salus as a reliable rehabilitation centre. So if you are struggling with any form of addiction, look for alternative roots in coping with your long rehabilitation needs. In my opinion this place will not help you in your long term recovery. This is my personal review of Salus, and only states my opinions and my personal experience whilst staying there. I honestly can say that I would not recommend them to anyone for any alcohol rehabilitation needs.

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

I came to salus for the second time just under a year ago as I know I would be looked after. I was broken and very poorly and had a heroin and crack addiction. The staff were amazing and tailored to my individual needs. I was very thin weighing 5st 9 so the chef would go out of his way to make me fattening smoothies and fattening food to help build me up. The manager Debra is a wonderful caring compassionate lady. All the staff were amazing and cared without judgement. I would highly recommend this place if you need to detox before going to rehab or if you aren't going to rehab. I must stress salus is a detox centre not a rehab and the staff are trained to medically detox patients from substances they do try to have group therapy but not everyone is well enough to take part but they do try to encourage that with patients. I noticed a review complaining there was no therapy etc salus is a detox that detoxes patients before rehab! If you aren't able to go rehab after leaving then I suggest you attend Narcotics Anonymous or Alcoholics Anonymous meetings regularly which I do and I am still clean almost a year later and plan on staying clean. Would highly recommend salus to anyone who needs this service!

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.
