Who we are

Teaghlach is an Irish word used to describe the family unit and the people sharing a home.

Teaghlach is a community based service that delivers high quality therapeutic supports to families impacted by addiction.

Our Approach

Our multi-disciplinary team deliver the following interventions to families:

  • Art Therapy
  • Play Therapy
  • Parents Under Pressure

We provide a whole family approach whereby families attend as a unit together, where each individual member receives their own therapeutic support at the same time.

What does it cost?

The bulk of our services are free of charge to people accessing them, however, there is a client contribution for our residential programmes that is used towards the cost of running the programme (this is based on ability to pay).  If you are in receipt of a social welfare payment, you will be provided with a weekly allowance to spend out of this payment and the remainder is used towards your client contribution.

What is treatment in Coolmine like?

Whether you choose a residential or day/community service, there is a standard set of programmes and interventions.

A behavioural approach to treatment is supported by a therapeutic programme which provides emotional management, life skills and educational workshops to support behavioural changes in thoughts, feelings and behaviours that feed your drug and alcohol use.  The idea behind these interventions is to allow you to see any your self-destructive behaviours and how they negatively impact your life.

These interventions come in the form of Group and One to One therapy sessions, addiction and behavioural educational workshops, and learning to practice mindfulness and relaxation techniques

You will be welcomed into our programme and will have the support of a Big Brother/Sister to help you settle in and answer any questions you may have about your programme or the community.

We offer assurance to all of our clients that our community is a safe, caring, and positive recovery environment that works to provide you with peace of mind during your treatment and recovery.
