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.
