Our Women's Centre is a residential rehabilitation centre for women (18 years and over) who struggle with drug and alcohol problems and who are in need of life skills training. Our residents receive a high standard of care at Tiglin, following a comprehensive nine-month programme that provides one-on-one professional counselling, key working and care planning sessions, life skills development, training opportunities, ongoing personal development plans and family support. The programme is a faith-based programme with a model of complete abstinence. The Women's Centre started life in a small bungalow in Newbridge, Co. Kildare, called "Shechem House". This was a safe haven for women and the predecessor to our current facility for women's rehabilitation. The residential programme lasts nine months, with these nine months taking place in Brittas Bay. As the women complete the nine-month programme, they may apply for a position in the aftercare program and transitional housing. The graphic below outlines the phases of our rehabilitation services. The phases of this particular service are shown in green.
