The possible closure of two large community based drug treatment programmes in Ballyfermot, which has one of the highest rates of drug misuse in the country, will have devastating consequences for the area, it has been warned.
According to local activists, budgetary cutbacks have meant that the drug treatment centre at the Ballyfermot Star, which catered for almost 500 drug users last year, is in danger of closing.
The project, which is one of the largest community drug treatment schemes in the country, provides a wide range of services to help recovering drug addicts.
