Cocaine Service – recent article
The article was printed in Metro Herald “Metro Life” section on 27th April 2011.
Cocaine is one of those hidden problems. The development of problematic use can often go unnoticed by the user and others around them for a long time. Many people using a lot of cocaine on a regular basis manage to continue to hold down their jobs and maintain relationships, albeit with some difficulty. However, as with all drugs, there may be repercussions to extended cocaine use for which a person could need support. Experience has taught us that some of the issues arising from prolonged cocaine use can be difficulties with relationships; employment; education; finances; the law; mental and physical health.
Dun Laoghaire Rathdown Outreach Project Cocaine Service was established in 2007. Our ethos is to provide a confidential space in a relaxed, non-judgemental atmosphere. Our aim is to help people regain control of their lives and to provide them with a clearer insight into their cocaine use and the impact it is having on their bodies and their lives.
We have morning and afternoon appointments on Mondays and Wednesdays. On a Thursday we run from 10am until 9pm. All our services are free of charge and are on a one-to-one basis
