We are the largest provider of addiction treatment services in Ireland and we supplied in excess of 200,000 bed nights per annum into the Irish healthcare system pre Covid. In 2019, In response to the escalation we witnessed in gambling related cases and harm, we were delighted to get the opportunity to develop a “ gambling specific” treatment programme at Cuan Mhuire, Athy in partnership with GAT. We are no strangers to the development of bespoke client centered solutions for particular client cohort groups and this initiative has enabled us to reach out to those in crisis because of gambling related harm and their families.
