Cork Drugs Info is the official website of the Cork Local Drugs Task Force. In May 1997, the Cork Local Drugs Task Force was formed and its brief was to develop a strategic, locally based response to the drug problem in Cork. Today, the Cork Local Drugs Task Force funds over thirty-five projects. These projects are spread across local communities and voluntary agencies throughout Cork city.

 

Each project offers a range of the following services:

One to One Confidential Support; for individuals at risk of addiction, in addiction or in recovery from addiction

 

Assessment Service; enabling project workers to make appropriate referrals to other relevant services e.g. residential treatment

 

Family Support; for family members, carers and friends of alcohol and/or drug misusers

 

Outreach; meeting people in their own home or in other local facilities e.g. local cafe if requested

 

Personal Development; on an individual basis or in a group setting

 

Holistic Therapies; Auricular acupuncture is available in some projects

 

Drug & Alcohol Awareness Raising; provision of information about drug and alcohol use
