MQI Community Recovery and Integration Support (CRIS)

Merchants Quay Ireland’s CRIS Project is a community-based drug and alcohol recovery support service for the East Coast Region. CRIS offers a one-to-one service aswell as the option of a family support group, to provide you with support and practical information on how to navigate the challenges you are facing. Services are available for adults over 18 and their families across Wicklow (excluding Bray and Blessington) and South Dublin (between Grand Canal and Dun Laoghaire). With offices in Wicklow Town, Arklow and Dublin as well as treatment centres in Carlow and Dublin the CRIS project provides a range of supports for people struggling with addiction and their families.

The CRIS project has two Community Integration Workers responsible for the co-ordination of assessment, case management and care planning of clients and their families, who have been affected by drugs and/or alcohol use.

This is a free, confidential and holistic service that works with all relevant agencies to ensure the best possible outcomes for clients. Each Community Integration Worker engages with a range of community, voluntary and statutory service providers, to provide a wide range of interventions:

Engagement with clients through an appointment-based assessment and ongoing case management service
Rehabilitation and aftercare group work
Information, advocacy and individualised supports to help clients reach their goals.
People can self-refer to the CRIS Project, or can be referred from any other agency.
The CRIS project provides Brief Intervention Councilling and has an outreach programme if required.
