The Ana Liffey Drug Project is a national addiction service with a ‘Low Threshold – Harm Reduction’ ethos. We provide direct services to people who use drugs in the Dublin and Mid West Regions of Ireland. We also play an active role in drug policy, advocating for policy choices which will improve the lives of people who use our services.
