Government policy on drug and alcohol use is set out in the national drugs strategy, Reducing Harm, Supporting Recovery 2017 – 2025. The foundation for the strategy is the Healthy Ireland Framework. The strategy aims to promote healthier lifestyles within society and encourage people to make healthier choices around drug and alcohol use. 

Guidance for drug and alcohol support groups and treatment programmes

This guidance on the safe operation of drug and alcohol support groups and treatment programmes is a complement to the Government plan for living with COVID-19, in particular levels 3 and 4. It also builds on COVID-19 resources for addiction services and guidance for vulnerable and at risk groups.
