Going into the weekend, remember that recovery doesn’t stop at Friday.

Addiction can affect anyone, but recovery is possible for anyone too.

If you’re struggling, thinking about making a change, or simply need someone to talk to, you don’t have to do it alone.

Dungiven Addiction Support Group is here to support people and families affected by addiction — with understanding, compassion and no judgement.

Take care of yourself this weekend. Reach out. Talk to someone. Take the next step.
There is always a way forward. 🙏

Sometimes the breaking point is actually the beginning.

Recovery asks us to surrender what no longer serves us, walk through the unfamiliar, and trust that even when we feel completely lost, we are being rebuilt—stronger, wiser, and closer to who we were always meant to be.

One step. One day. One choice at a time. 🤍

🌳 White Oaks – A Journey of Recovery

Today I want to shine a light on White Oaks Addiction Treatment Centre, situated in the Donegal countryside just outside Derry.

Founded in 2001, White Oaks provides residential treatment for people whose lives have been affected by alcohol, drugs or gambling addiction.

Their approach recognises that recovery isn’t simply about stopping an addictive behaviour — it’s about understanding addiction, beginning to heal and learning a different way to live.

Support at White Oaks includes:

🌳 Residential addiction treatment
🌳 One-to-one counselling
🌳 Group therapy
🌳 A 12-step approach to recovery
🌳 Family involvement and support
🌳 Meditation, mindfulness and therapeutic activities
🌳 Step-down and long-term aftercare support

One thing that stands out about White Oaks is the understanding that recovery doesn’t end when residential treatment finishes.

People can receive continued support through step-down sessions and an aftercare programme designed to help them maintain their recovery as they return to everyday life.

Addiction can take so much from a person — but with the right support, people can begin rebuilding their lives, relationships, self-worth and hope for the future.

Recovery is a journey, and nobody should have to make that journey alone. 🌳

If you or someone you care about is struggling with addiction, White Oaks is another local service worth knowing about.
