The Community Based Drugs Initiative (CBDI) is a project in Carlow Regional Youth Services that works from Ardu Substance Misuse Services at St Dympna’s and a number of other venues in Carlow town and county. We provide support to individuals, families and communities to overcome issues related to substance misuse use through provision of information and education, referral, group and individual supports. The community based drugs worker service (CBDI) works with young people and adults affected by substance misuse. CBDI works with Young People aged 12 – 18 years and adults over 18.
