Can’t begin to explain how thankful I am for brightside. I was a 3 year heroin addict and was running out of options when I found brightside. They treat you like a hunan being, not like a junkie. They’re helpful, not condescending. And they actually care. Haven’t had a single hiccup of a problem here since I started months ago. 10/10 would recommend to anyone. - P.D.
