A 90-day programme, told in his own words

Not every review is short. Some clients have shared the whole arc — and we’ve collected those on the blog under “Rehab Diaries”.

Members of the Primrose team holding a 'stop stigma' message — part of the centre's ongoing public awareness work in Nairobi.

Bill’s story · 90-day programme

“They didn’t just treat my drinking. They sat with me until I understood why I drank in the first place — and that’s the part that has kept me sober.”

The family programme was the part I did not expect. We had spent years thinking the problem was just our son. We learned how we had been part of the problem too — without knowing it — and how to be part of the recovery instead. That work changed our household.

The clinical team was a different level. The psychiatrist actually treated my depression, not just the addiction. That mattered.

Calm grounds, kind staff, and a programme that takes the work seriously. My brother is two years sober.

The first two weeks were harder than I had been led to expect. By week six the work started to make sense. I wish the early days had been better explained to my family.

Aftercare was the thing I had not seen at the other rehab. A year later they still pick up the phone.

What I most appreciated was the honesty. They told us when things were hard. They told us when our son was struggling. No false reassurance, no performance. When we needed to make hard decisions about his care, they gave us the facts and let us decide.

Programme is solid, no complaints there. Communication during the first week could have been clearer for the family. They were responsive once we raised it.

Trauma-focused therapy was the difference between this rehab and the previous one. I won’t be returning to a centre again.
