September is a month dedicated to celebrating the millions of people around the world living in recovery from addiction, and to recognising the families, friends and professionals who support them every step of the way.

At The Rutland Centre, we see recovery not as a single moment, but as an ongoing journey. Throughout the month, we'll be sharing stories, milestones and reflections from our community to help raise awareness and reduce the stigma that so often surrounds addiction.

Recovery is possible. Recovery is happening. And we're proud to walk alongside it every day.

Some of our favourite memories from last year's Sunrise at Sugarloaf, the early start, the climb, and that first light breaking over the summit. Moments like these stay with you.

We can't wait to create more of them this year. Sunrise at Sugarloaf returns on 20th September 2026, and there's still time to sign up.

Our Athlone outpatient programme was recently featured on RTÉ's This Week, exploring the growing impact of gambling addiction and the work still needed from Ireland's Gambling Regulator.

Treatment co-ordinator Karl Fitzharris and CEO Maebh Mullaney spoke about why we expanded our services to the midlands, and about the scale of the gambling crisis we're seeing in Ireland today. Gambling now carries a higher mortality rate than most other addictions we treat, and easy access through smartphones means the risks are only growing.

Former Offaly GAA player Niall McNamee, who completed our programme in 2011, also shared how much gambling has changed since his own recovery, from traditional sports betting to fast-paced, casino-style products designed to keep people hooked.

We were glad to add our voice to this important conversation, and to keep highlighting why services like the Social Impact Fund are so urgently needed.

That’s the message one client chose to paint onto their pot during our Nature-Based Therapy pilot, and it says everything about what this programme is for.

Getting hands in the soil, watching something grow, and creating something to be proud of, these are small moments that build real resilience.

You can't control their addiction, but you can learn how to support their recovery.

Addiction affects entire families – and recovery works best when families are informed, supported, and empowered.

Our new outpatient programme brings intensive, evidence-based treatment to communities across Athlone and surrounding counties, meaning people no longer face lengthy journeys to Dublin to access the support they need.

It's the only abstinence-based outpatient programme of its kind in Ireland, offering group therapy, one-to-one counselling and family involvement, while allowing people to stay at home and connected to work, education and family throughout their recovery.

Funded treatment places for gambling and gaming addiction are also available, addressing an issue that now affects an estimated 1 in 30 adults in Ireland.

With an 81% completion rate in 2025 and 93% of graduates still engaged in active recovery, this model is already proving its impact, and we're proud to bring it closer to home for so many more people.
