"Horrible Policies "

As someone who is currently in the process of coming off medication and getting horrific withdrawals, I was appalled to find out that Union House discharge you if you don’t keep making changes to your medications.

There is apparently no help for managing on going withdrawals, or any kind of therapy offered for any issues made worse by the medications.

I also suffer with binge eating disorder, and I found from the GP (Union House did not tell me) that one of my medications for stress management, which I had been prescribed and taking for years, had be removed. The last thing I need is even less ways to manage the withdrawals and binge eating.

That medication was helpful for managing my binge eating disorder. And they made this decision behind my back. I did not have a discussion with them on this issue.
