The positive work and impact of Finglas Addiction Support Team (FAST) was highlighted when the service’s new premises was officially opened by President Michael D Higgins last week.
The bright and airy facility on Wellmount Road is a far cry from the bleak and uninviting prefabs in which the community-based service has operated from for the last six years.
From the new centre drug users, recovered users and their families will be offered and provided with treatment, advice and support.
A former drug addict from the Finglas area who had been hooked on drugs from the age of 14 described how FAST helped him to get clean.
“Within a few short years I was on everything I could get my hands on from crack and heroin to all sorts of tablets,” he told Northside People.
