A Wirral man who numbed his pain with cocaine and alcohol said a specialist support 'village' saved his life.
Michael Quinn, 29, from Eastham, was at ‘rock bottom’ after years of struggling with drug and alcohol addiction. But Birkenhead’s ‘recovery village’, which has received national acclaim for its ground-breaking approach to addiction support, has helped him to turn things around.
The ‘village’, comprising of a number of local charities and organisations, has been commended by senior government advisor Dame Carol Black, who visited Wirral after her report into national addiction support services deemed the current infrastructure "not fit for purpose".
