Launch of Soilse report ‘Addiction Recovery: A Contagious Paradigm’ sets out a case for a recovery-focused approach to addiction treatment.

The Lord Mayor of Dublin, Cllr. Christy Burke launched a report on behalf of Soilse, the drug rehabilitation service in HSE Dublin North City (Thursday 17 July).

The RECOVEU project is an EU Lifelong Learning Programme, which envisions developing an innovative course pack to offer an opportunity for adults in addiction recovery to locate and sustain a trajectory in Higher Education that takes into account specific barriers that socially marginalised people may encounter. This will be achieved by creating a dialogue between generic educators, people in recovery and drug treatment providers, using both face-to-face and online tools and methodologies.
