TRP is a dedicated specialist rehabilitation project in the Tallaght area providing a community based day-programme for people in recovery with addiction problems. The programme is specifically designed to provide a safe and confidential environment where participants can actively engage in a therapeutic process of recovery. The overall objective of the programme is to assist and support the rehabilitation and recovery process and realistic progression of people who have become stable in treatment on prescribed methadone or who have achieved drug free status. Our mission statement comes from a community development ethos, which believes in the benefits of rehabilitation within a community setting and where participants can be supported in their recovery, by their own community. TRP contributes to local development through providing this necessary service for people with addiction problems. TRP is represented on a range of community and voluntary organisations/ bodies within the area and is also actively involved in promoting and adhering to the National Drugs Strategy: Reducing harm, supporting recovery 2017 – 2025, under the umbrella of rehabilitation. We are committed to ongoing staff training, skills development, education and personal development; we also provide training and supervision for students and volunteers. We liaise and network with local agencies/organisations who work with our target groups and we have a genuine commitment to the contribution of positively influencing rehabilitation services in the Tallaght area.
As a specialist rehabilitation programme, the primary focus and engagement for participants is on the therapeutic process of recovery. The programme offers a period of structured development work, which is essential to empower and enable participants to address addiction, self-esteem, and self-confidence and facilitate personal growth and development.
