Limerick step-down house helped saved homeless man's life after addiction treatment

A step-down house helped saved Stuart Zheng’s life after addiction treatment — of that, he has no doubt.

Stuart, 28, from Limerick, had been in and out of jail, was addicted to alcohol and heroin, and was homeless, when he began a five-month residential treatment programme in Cuan Mhuire’s Bruree facility almost two years ago.

When he finished his treatment, he said he had nowhere to go, nowhere to live.
