About us
Set up in 1998, by people living and working in the area, the Snug Counselling Service sought to respond to the escalating heroin crisis in the inner city of Dublin at that time. However, over the last 20 years, the context of drug use has changed considerably with a plethora of new drugs emerging and in ready supply.
This has happened alongside an unprecedented homelessness crisis in Ireland, the consequences of which are detrimental to many individuals and families availing of the Snug services. The challenge for the Snug has been to respond to emerging and complex needs such as mental health, dual diagnosis, polydrug use and drug and gang related intimidation and crime and to do so in a humane and professional way.
