'For every person caught in addiction, an average of eight people consequently suffer' – Finglas Addiction Support Centre opened by President Michael D Higgins.
The Finglas Addiction Support centre (FAST) was today officially opened by President, Michael D. Higgins. The centre works with drug users, recovered users, their families and the community in the Finglas area to provide the highest standard of addiction supports.
The centre also announced the introduction of a Recovery Coach Programme, which will be offered in partnership with Dublin City University's School of Nursing and Human Sciences. The only course of its kind in Ireland, it will train those who are in recovery from drug addiction to help others who are struggling with the process of recovery from detox through to aftercare. On completion of the course, the coaches will work on a voluntary basis with FAST. It will be a 12-month part-time programme.
