George Henderson: talks addictions

On Déise Today with Damien Tiernan, addiction counsellor George Henderson, talks addictions.

There's been a significant rise in people suffering with addictions to cocaine and gambling.

According to the Annual Report from The Rutland Centre published this morning, nearly two thirds of people are now presenting with multiple addictions.

This is a 50% increase from the previous year. Following on from these findings Damien was joined by George Henderson on Déise Today this morning (Wednesday) to discuss his experience with addiction and the work he is doing to raise awareness and help those effected by it in the community.
