Alternative Therapy Treatment Programme
Following on from
the success and popularity of the Alternative Therapies programme at
Breffni Family Resource Centre, a series of Drop-In Auricular
Acupuncture sessions will be available on a weekly basis for anyone who
has experience of addiction / substance misuse.
Auricular
Acupuncture is considered particularly beneficial in the treatment of
addictions and to date, almost 100 people have availed on the
Alternative Therapies Programme in Leitrim. The programme is delivered
by experienced, professional therapists in the warm and secure
environment of Breffni Family Resource Centre in Carrick-on-Shannon.
Drop-In Auricular Acupuncture will be available every Wednesday from 1pm
to 2pm starting on Wednesday 27th October and continuing throughout
November and December subject to demand. All that is required of
clients is a commitment of 1 hour per week, a voluntary donation and a
desire to overcome addiction. Treatment will be in a small group
environment and confidentiality is paramount to the success of this
programme.
