What is the immediate impact of insufficient funding on addiction recovery centers in Wales, and how does this affect individuals struggling with substance abuse?

Penrhyn House in Bangor, Gwynedd, has helped hundreds overcome addiction, with one user achieving 90 days of cocaine sobriety and a couple remaining sober for over two years after battling amphetamine addiction for 12 years. The center, a lifeline for many, provides guidance and support for substance and alcohol addiction, but its director emphasizes the need for increased funding to prevent relapse and sustain long-term recovery. The Welsh government has invested over £67m, yet concerns persist about sufficient support.
