Ireland lags behind when it comes to the number of people with alcohol dependency who are getting treatment.
Today we publish a new report: ‘Alcohol Treatment Services: A snapshot survey. 2021’ exploring the prevailing issues related to services in Ireland and propose a series of recommendations to ensure the possible services are available.

AAI estimates there are around 250,000 people with alcohol addiction here.
However new research shows there were just 3500 new cases referred to some sort of treatment.
Concerns are being raised about the lack of services for the children of people with alcohol addiction.
Alcohol Action Ireland says around half of those in treatment are fathers or mothers.
A HIQA type inspection regime must be established for all residential treatment services providing uniform outcome measurements and monitoring of services. #AlcoholTreatment
