WESTERN REGION DRUGS TASK FORCE COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE

Western Region Drugs Task Force Company Limited By Guarantee is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to addressing drug-related issues across the western part of Ireland. Drawing on the latest research and public health guidance, the Task Force provides clear, up-to-date information on prescription medicines such as benzodiazepines, which are commonly used to treat anxiety and depression. By highlighting the risks associated with these drugs and collaborating with the Health Service Executive, the group aims to support safer prescribing practices and raise awareness of potential harms.

In addition to its informational role, the Task Force shares news and opportunities relevant to the sector, such as the current recruitment of counsellors and therapists at Hope House in Foxford, Co. Mayo. Through these activities, it serves health-care professionals, service users and the wider community, fostering a more informed and resilient approach to drug use in the region.
