Turas launches new Recovery Cafe in Carlingford

Turas, a Dundalk based community addiction service, has expanded on its Dundalk Recovery Café to now offer support in Carlingford as well.

The concept of the Recovery Café is founded on the idea that people in recovery need a support network of people around them, who understand the challenges of addiction, and are there to support each other during good times and bad without substances.

The Carlingford Recovery Café meets every Monday from 10am-12:30pm in the Foy Centre in Carlingford, where staff and volunteers from Turas are in attendance to welcome those seeking support in relation to addiction.  

It is an opportunity for people in recovery from substances to meet other people overcoming the same challenges, get support on their journey, make some new friends and enjoy themselves.

“Recovery is a long road, with many twists and turns and our hope is that the Recovery Café will offer another opportunity to people to stay on track.  We are delighted to be involved in it and look forward to helping people in the Carlingford area” said Nicki Jordan, Turas Manager.

The café attracts people in recovery and those on their way to recovery, and it is that space between the two which is appealing to everyone – those starting out get the support of others who are further along, and those with a number of years of sobriety enjoy sharing the wisdom they have learned on their own journeys.

The Dundalk Café meets in Crème and Gusto in Williamsons Mall every Wednesday from 5-7pm and all are welcome. For further information please see turascounselling.ie or FB @TurasSupport
