Our 8 week Addiction Support Programme is aimed at individuals who want to make change around their addiction. Through a series of psycho-educational workshops focusing on addiction and its related complications, a safe space is created for participants to form a support group. Through this, participants share their experiences and allow self-development through the use of art as a therapeutic approach.

The level of change is dependent on the individual; such as wanting to stabilise or focus on harm reduction; to engaging in a community detox or residential treatment. Others might be looking to move into recovery or to make progression in their professional and personal lives.

The programme is based in our Bluebell, Dublin 12 office and runs once a year on Tuesday afternoons and Thursday mornings. It can be accessed by anybody living in the Dublin area. If you are interested in taking part please fill in our online contact form.
