About CASP

The Clondalkin Addiction Support Programme (CASP) was established in 1995 by community members, and workers in local voluntary and youth organisations, as a response to increasing numbers of young heroin users in the Clondalkin area.

CASP is a community service for people who use substances, over 18 years of age, and their families from the North Clondalkin area.
