Taoiseach Launches New Report On Wicklow Based Addiction Charity

The LIFE.RESTORED report hears of positive impact of recovery programmes by addiction charity Tiglin.

Tiglin, a leading addiction treatment charity, has launched its new longitudinal research report, LIFE. RESTORED.

The study, conducted by renowned social researcher Janet Robinson, offers compelling evidence of Tiglin's successful approach to addiction recovery.

The study was launched by Taoiseach Simon Harris T.D. at Government Buildings on Wednesday December 4th.

LIFE. RESTORED. introduces a powerful equation: Engagement = Change + Control.

This formula encapsulates Tiglin's effectiveness in empowering service users and developing recovery capital.

Key components of recovery identified by service users include:
● Tools for emotional regulation and relapse prevention
● Increased self-awareness
● Development of supportive relationships with service providers, peers,
and spirituality

These elements help individuals identify necessary changes and gain control over their addiction.

The Tiglin LIFE. RESTORED report, based on 2,375 evaluations across 289 groups from 2019 to 2023, reveals high satisfaction rates among service users:
● 74% to 92% satisfaction with key group components
● Highest satisfaction reported in Aftercare programmes
● Group components enhanced engagement, supported treatment progression, and fostered the development of recovery capital.
