Under the Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2010 the Drug Treatment Centre Board was dissolved and our assets and liabilities were transferred to the Health Service Executive (HSE) on the 1st January 2013.
Originally located at the 'Charitable Infirmary', Jervis Street Hospital, Dublin 1, which was established in 1718, it was known as The National Drug Advisory and Treatment Centre and later as The Drug Treatment Centre Board (DTCB). The first treatment service in the country, it will now be known as the HSE National Drug Treatment Centre and will continue to provide effective, high quality and client focused treatment. It offers guidance and training to other professionals working in the area of substance misuse and contributes to policy development in drug and addiction management.
