If you came here looking for addiction support in Ballymun or Dublin North, the verified routes below will get you to help today. We would rather send you somewhere that answers than to a number that rings out.
Why this listing is on hold
Being straight with you about what we do and do not know is more useful than a confident-looking entry that turns out to be stale.
- No current official page. The HSE restructured its website and retired the section that used to carry individual addiction service pages. The pages that previously described Dublin North services no longer load.
- Conflicting addresses. Directory records place Domville House on the Ballymun Road in Dublin 11, while other public records index a Domville House Clinic on the Ballymun Road in Dublin 9.
- An unmaintained source. The third-party directory carrying most of these details shows clear signs of not being kept up — including entries for at least one unit that has since moved premises.
None of that means the service has closed. It means we cannot currently stand over the details, and a directory that guesses is worse than one that says so.

What a community addiction service usually offers
Services of this kind, sometimes called community drug teams, are non-residential — you attend appointments and go home afterwards. Typical supports include:
- Addiction counselling, individually or in groups
- Methadone treatment for opioid dependence, including maintenance and detox
- Outreach into the community, prisons and hospitals
- Family therapy and support for relatives
- Blood-borne virus testing, such as HIV and hepatitis C, and related counselling
- General medical care and referral into residential treatment where needed
This describes the category of service, not a guarantee of what any one location currently provides. The helpline can tell you what is actually available near you right now.

Frequently asked questions
Is Domville House still open?
We do not know, and we will not guess. We could not confirm from a current official source that the service still operates under this name at this address. Call the HSE Drugs and Alcohol Helpline on 1800 459 459 to find out what is available in Ballymun today.
Why have you removed the phone number?
The number we held came from a directory we found to be out of date in other respects, and we could not confirm it against any current official source. A wrong number can cost someone the one call they were ready to make, so we removed it rather than republish it.

Call the HSE Drugs and Alcohol Helpline on 1800 459 459, Monday to Friday between 9.30am and 5.30pm, for free and confidential referral to your nearest service. Your GP can also refer you. In an emergency call 112 or 999.
