Bushypark Addiction Treatment Centre

A thought for now…

The first time I heard about meditation, it sounded like a foreign concept to me. I could understand prayer – that was talking to God. It made sense. But people said meditation was important too. Someone told me, “That’s when you’re being quiet, so God can talk to you.”

What is the first step I need to take to get help?

You just need to call us on 065-6840944 or e-mail us at bushyparkhouse@clarecare.ie and we will offer support in relation to your problem. We will set up an assessment appointment for you and a concerned person with an addiction counsellor to fully assess the extent of the alcohol, drug or gambling addiction. A fee of €60 is charged for this assessment, which is of an hour’s duration.

We recommend that you bring a family member or friend to this assessment as a source of information and also for support.

Following this we will make plans for admission where appropriate as soon as a bed is available. Alternatively we will recommend the person to come to our weekly pre-treatment programme. For anyone who is not ready for treatment or wants more time to sort out issues or get detoxed we will set up a plan to assist the client and family member.

All plans and decisions will be made by both the client and the counsellor so no pressure will be applied or no decisions made without the agreement of the client.
