Dear All,
I wanted to bring to your attention that the advertised links Rehab Recovery and Rehab 4 Addiction were recently featured in a huge Sunday Times article in which it was highlighted as a patient brokering scheme. This is probably not the sort of help that you would want to advertise on your site and threatens the credibility of your organization.

I have pasted the link to the article below:
https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/google-makes-millions-from-plight-of-addicts-vwkzhwtcv
These are not actual registered healthcare providers or services, but an individual named Oliver Clark who is taking advantage of people in need of help. I strongly recommend you take this recommendation down as it threatens the general population’s financial and physical welfare.
Warmest Regards
Thanks for letting me know.

I am really sorry to read this. You are trying to cope with such a lot. Can you see your GP to see if there is any help available there? Do you have a lawyer? you need someone in real life to talk to and some practical help to get repairs to your house. Is there any way you can talk to the social worker and see if there is any help available? I am sorry I can’t be of more help.
