Overview

The course has a number of unique strengths:

The Addiction Recovery programme of Trinity College Dublin is the first of its kind in Ireland with no identical course offered internationally.

The interdisciplinary collective strengths of the School of Medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences regarding lecture provision from the Schools of Pharmacy and Health Service Executive, as well as other leading addiction practitioners within non-statutory services are unprecedented.

The course content will be underpinned by the integration of pioneering research in the field of Addiction Recovery to ensure the focus of the material delivered is current evidenced based research, which will, in turn, inform evidenced based best practice.

The teaching staff includes clinicians and service providers who are at the forefront of Addiction Recovery treatment, research and policy in Ireland.

The course curriculum corresponds directly with the actions set out in the National Drug Strategy (NDS) ‘Reducing Harm, Supporting Recovery 2017 – 2025’ as well as the principle for recovery as set out by the Recovery Academies of Ireland, UK, Scotland, Australia and the United States.
