Rehab Centre of Excellence

The BAC O’Connor Centre was founded in 1998 by Noreen Oliver MBE, following her own experience of being severely dependent upon alcohol. “you spend years and years in a revolving door, lost in a system and culture that supports your own emotions of guilt, shame, anger and resentment . It was by luck, destiny, whatever it may have been , shown a way out and that is what our centres offer today – an exit route out of addiction to a journey that leads to freedom from addiction, a chance of recovery , a life for all who want it instead of a daily
existence. A programme that does not just treat the symptoms but deals with the past, present and future.” BAC O’Connor is a centre of excellence with some of the highest outcomes in the Country, all of our therapists are qualified or qualifying to degree and masters level and a number are in recovery themselves, however being in recovery itself is not a qualification and we believe that therapists should be qualified to a minimum of degree level with regular supervision.

We are not the glitz, we are not the glamour but we produce some of the highest outcomes in the country because our evidence-based programme works. So if you are serious about real recovery and improving your quality of life choose the right road to recovery, choose The BAC O’Connor Centre.
