Treatment & Rehabilitation
ARC - Addiction Response Crumlin
Addiction Response Crumlin (ARC) is a community-based organisation. Set up in 1996 to respond to the drugs crisis in the Crumlin area of Dublin. Over the years, ARC has developed a comprehensive and integrated set of treatment, support and rehabilitation programmes working from the bio-psycho-social model.
Current services include access to:
-
Methadone Maintenance
-
Stabilisation and Detoxification programmes
-
Cocaine & Poly-drug use/ Alcohol misuse programmes
-
Under 18’s programme
-
Recovery and Aftercare services,
-
Family Support,
-
Counselling
-
Holistic Therapies.
ARC also provides a major rehabilitation programme aiming to facilitate the progression of recovering substance misusers through rehabilitation into mainstream employment or further education.
Through this wide spectrum of services, ARC delivers holistic person-centred addiction recovery programmes, which are appropriate to the needs and circumstances of each individual service user.
Keenly aware of the destructive impacts an individual’s substance misuse can have on their family and on their community, ARC engages directly with families through our Family Support Services and the Strengthening Families programme. ARC remains closely rooted in and connected with the community we are part of. We work to build strong networks and partnerships through all our activities.
The experience of ARC demonstrates the vital contribution a local community can make to respond to the problems of substance misuse. The organisation is widely acknowledged as one of the strongest and most effective community addiction projects in the country

About Us
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
We are a community-based initiative providing information, support and counselling for those affected by substance misuse, gambling harm, and mental health difficulties.
​
Our mission is to continue to provide the highest standard of Addiction and Mental Health Support to the people of Walkinstown and Greenhills. We believe that people possess great strength and capacity within themselves to cope with and overcome the problems facing them in their lives and that through fostering a belief in the person’s potential for change and focusing on the value they have as people, we have witnessed individuals emerging from isolation and despair into able, confident people realising their ability to participate in their families and their communities. Our Vision is to provide a community-based resource to the people of Walkinstown and Greenhills that is accepting, empowering, and inclusive to all. To provide highly professional services that reflect the qualities of equality, solidarity, and inclusion. The services we provide are confidential and low cost.

Youth Services
Clay Youth Project
CLAY facilitates a wide range of programmes and activities for young people
in the Lower Crumlin Area, aged from 10 to 21 years.
​
Based in Lower Crumlin, we're a community based Youth Project. CLAY provides a range of services to enhance life skills and opportunities for young people in the area. The set of values which will guide the organisation in carrying out its mission statement are:
​
Young people-centered
This encompasses the idea of empowering young people by giving them skills and opportunities to make decisions and choices about themselves and their lives.
And that all decisions made in CLAY will have the young people at their centre.
Integrity
This is based on a commitment to the principles of Youth Work.
And linked to the ideas of respect, understanding and openness.
Working together
This is related to the concepts of co-operation, solidarity, integration and cohesion - in terms of providing a service and working in unison for and with young people.
Purposeful
This is related to the point that the organisation has a purpose as described in the Mission Statement and that when work is being done it needs to be mindful of that purpose.
It is working against the idea of activities for activities sake.

The Bosco - Youth Centre
Now in existence over 70 years the centre strives to be relevant to the needs of young people in Drimnagh and their families. We like to think of the Bosco as being a vibrant, fun and busy place where the views of young people in particular are valued and utilised in the development of activities and services.
Although primarily a youth centre we also provide activities for all age groups with an ever changing range of activities.
Since being divested from the Catholic Church in 1996 the centre has been managed by a voluntary board of directors. The centre is supported financially by a range of government funding which allows it to employ staff, run activities and maintain the building.
The building is open 7 days a week, 51 weeks a year.

​
Our Values
We believe that …
-
Nobody deserves to be abused
-
No person should ever have to experience the torture of being abused by a ‘loved one’
-
No one should be alone in carrying the burden of blame, shame and judgment perpetrated upon them
-
Early educational interventions with young people entering intimate relationships are key to combating domestic violence in future generations and breaking the cycle of violence
We acknowledge that …
-
Domestic violence is a serious and life destroying crime for which the client is never responsible
-
Is a cycle of abuse that only escalates with time
-
Occurs in all walks of life – all classes, creeds, ages and races
-
Is an unequal balance of power and control that an individual holds over another in any intimate or close family relationship – husband and wife, same sex partners or adult children and an elder parent
-
Takes many forms including physical, sexual, emotional, psychological, financial abuse and coercive control
We commit to …
-
Empowering our clients and facilitating them in having a voice
-
Listening, hearing, believing and respecting those who contact us for help whether they plan to leave an abusive relationship or seek support in staying safe in the relationship
-
Working in a non-judgmental environment supporting clients – only they know the reality of their abuse
-
Maintaining a confidential service for all our clients and ensuring that we always work according to Children First
