CGL Manchester. Wow, what a shocking service overall for alcohol addiction. Now saying Mcr is a large city I am shocked at the lack of support, involvement & family support. In comparison to Salford alcohol support.
A family member was referred via GP. Initial meeting was good, they took on board our family concerns that we presented. However counselling was not offer & no support for the family members struggling. Despite on numerous times they said they would refer us to family support it has never happened despite our desperate plea & pur family member has been discharged from the service.
I totally appreciate that as a professional you go off what the client/patients tells you & if they are not being honest then there isn't much that can be done. But when clearly the family are concerned, aware of continuous denial, lying, hiding & causing many problems for us to the point that we only see darkness, and want to help & share our concern. They turn around & tell us to back off, because that ia stressing them out more. Oh well ok sorry for trying to prevent an accident with the car, or losing their job or other fatalities. So we should just back off and let them destroy their life & ours....ok thank you very much for you "help". So when the worst happens, I will be personally blaming the individual & the service for the shocking & disgusting lack of support. No wonder this country is so messed up

CGL is an amazing organisation. I attend STAR in Hastings and as a recovering alcoholic and addict I struggle with anxiety and depression. When I go to STAR, those fears disappear. Everyone is welcoming and friendly. The counselling and support workers are helpful and knowledgeable. There is a wide range of direct support or help to get the support you need at any point in your recovery. I am so very grateful for this service.

I was just recently forced out of a job with change grow live, I was working for an incompitent team leader who was trying to force me to close clients who still had alcohol problems, unfortunatley this did result in what I regarded as preventable deaths of two clients, He was a bully and had no compassion and after I lost my fiance to cancer it effected me badly and on the aniversary of her death he decided to take diciplinary action against me, I had asked him to stop as this was just out and out bullying as I had far more expierience then he did, he had been an admin worker at the company that had got promoted and the power had gone to his head, but this was at the expense of clients and staff welfare, I am still annoyed that he was the perpitrator of these action yet it was me that had to resign as I got no support from CGL Human Resourses team, I did take them to court but the lies they told in court was unbelievable.

Certainly within West Lothian and Edinburgh, they are a horrendous organisation who put huge `tick-box` quantity before manageable and realistic quality. Treat their staff and customers with contempt and are ruthless in their manipulation and micro-managing of staff with passive aggressive bullying. Management are tyrants. If you do have someone with addiction issues then try WLDAS who are very professional and do treat their customers with respect.
