Drug centre sees doubling in clients treated for crack cocaine addiction
The Croi Nua project in the Addiction Response Crumlin team also expressed concern that a growing number of families are being threatened by drug dealers over unpaid debts.
Croi Nua is the country’s main treatment facility for crack cocaine and cocaine addicts. Co-ordinator Susan Collins said the past year witnessed the number of clients presenting with crack cocaine addiction increase from 20 in January last year to 50 people.
