To whom it may concern, My wife and I have written this letter as we would like to share with those concerned our experience with Remar Australia, and especially the people who run the facility at Nyora. We first met Luis and Karina when they were on, the Melbourne Water Property at Kinglake West. We want to let you know what a fantastic job they do to help people who are down and out and need help for whatever reason. In our family as in other families who have members who are suffering from substance abuse, whether it is drugs or alcohol, we struggled for many years with our son’s drug and alcohol problem not knowing what to do or who to turn to. There were places like the Salvation Armies, Bridge and Overdale, Narcanon, Crossroads (now Foundation 41) just to mention a few who could help, however some of these places are out of the reach of the average family or persons seeking help because of the huge financial commitment required in order to get help. These places are usually booked out and we found it very hard to get our son into these places, and as we found when he was at his lowest and wanted help you could not get in to rehabilitation facilities, as you had to wait months. |
