Working toward a drug-free existence
The St James Camino network is a charity dedicated to rehabilitating and supporting drug dependent men living in Ireland. Since 1997 it has run holistic residential programmes to those who have shown an initial commitment to achieving a drug free existence - without the barrier of high cost. In that time the network has delivered a new start to the lives of over 500 participants and their familes from all walks of life. As a charity the network is entirely reliant on the kindness and funding of third parties. Read more..

Camino has four goals for the primary care of persons with drug dependency.
- The recognition that drug dependency is a Bio-psychosocial disease.
- The recognition for the need for abstinence from all mind altering drugs.
- The development and use of an ongoing recovery program to maintain abstinence.
- The diagnosis and management of other problems or conditions that could interfere with recovery.
The principles underpinning this programme are empowerment, respect and support. It is our wish to empower, up skill and support individuals that are in the first stages of living a drug free lifestyle. Read more..
