Building starts on €4.8m alcoholism recovery facility

Building work has started on a €4.8m step-down facility in Cork for men recovering from alcohol addiction.

The Tabor Group’s major expansion of its Fellowship House facility on the outskirts of Cork City will provide 15 accommodation units for men who have completed Tabor’s three-month alcohol addiction treatment programme but who need ongoing support as they move to independent living.

The project will also increase from 10 to 16 the number of residential spaces available on Tabor’s treatment programme. The expanded facilities are due to open in summer 2018.
