Psychologists Ireland

"New Choices" is an alternative to residential or 12 step recovery programs and usually concentrates on Mothers who are struggling with alcohol dependency or having difficulties staying "off" alcohol. Evidence shows that woman and young mothers are have more emotional guilt when drinking and often the traditional methods of treatment provided in Ireland don't "fit" their needs.  The service works on the basis of Dual Diagnosis and integrated treatment. It is a home based treatment. This means that once an initial assessment is done in the office of "New Choices" then the rest of your treatment that is provided by us is done in the comfort of your own home. This includes a home based alcohol detox provided by a qualified, registered nurse and mental health facilitator, a visiting mental health facilitator will also continue to visit you at home at a time that suits you and your family schedule. Integrated treatments are a combination of methods that are evidence based and patient centered and other professional may be asked to link in with your treatment plan. The team will also work with your family members and help them to get the support, advice and education they need so you can all move forward as a family together. "New Choices" will spend more time on your mental health and what it is that you and your family need rather than offering you a "set program" to follow. The recovery plan is designed by you and around your needs.
