As we prepare for the next Connections group - a 12-week stabilisation programme - it’s nice to take a moment to reflect on a previous client’s positive experience and the progress they made. The programme is aimed at individuals in recovery from substance misuse, or those who are motivated to change their substance use.

It focuses on four key areas of development: Stabilisation; Health (Personal & Mental); Personal Development; and Progression & Choices.

Participants have weekly one-to-one check-ins to support them throughout the 12 weeks and to help identify their next steps upon completion of the programme. This may involve starting a CE programme, returning to education or employment, or a referral into treatment.

The Connections Programme is based in our Bluebell office, Dublin 12, and can be accessed by anyone living in the Dublin area. If you are interested in taking part, please call us on 01 473 6502.

The Christmas season can be tough for people in recovery. Routines that usually provide structure and support can get disrupted, social events may bring added pressure or temptation, and certain situations or interactions can stir up strong emotions. For those who are new to recovery, this time of year can feel especially overwhelming.

To help, Frontline has put together some helpful tips for navigating Christmas while staying grounded in your recovery:

The Christmas and New Year period can stir up a lot of emotions - hope, pressure, pride, sadness, excitement, and sometimes fear. For people in recovery, this time of year often feels like holding all these feelings at once. As the New Year approaches, remember this: you don’t need to transform yourself to deserve support, love, or hope. You don’t need a perfect plan. You don’t need to impress anyone, including yourself.

Frontline Make Change

We are here to help Make Change. If you or your loved ones are struggling from alcohol or drug use, we can help.

We understand that it takes bravery to walk through our doors. We are open, non judgemental and always respectful.

Frontline Make Change is a value driven organisation. We are committed to change, quality, honesty, innovation and integrity. These strong values are at the heart of all we do, because we believe in people’s capacity to change.

We believe in making an impact that not only improves the health of the individual, but has a lasting positive impact on the wellbeing of their families, friends and the communities in which they live. People who use our services are not just people with drug and alcohol problems, they are partners, fathers, mothers, sisters, grandmothers, children, brothers, friends, work colleagues and carers.
