The facility, which offers a range of courses and programmes for individuals dependent on alcohol or narcotics, also noted an increase in reported addiction to the Class A drug, heroin.
According to figures, half of all men admitted to the facility cite an addiction to heroin while a whopping 70% of women report the same.
The centre, which is located near Blanchardstown in west Dublin, is the only service in the country which provides support to both mothers and their children, offering créche facilities as well as therapy for children impacted by a parent's substance abuse.
Annual statistics indicate that the centre, which believes everybody 'should have the opportunity, support and enabling environment to overcome addiction and lead a fulfilled and productive life, has seen an increase in the number of women seeking support for addiction since just last year.
While 2014 saw the admittance of 18 mothers and their children in addition to four pregnant women, this year the centre has increased its capacity in order to provide support to 24 women.
Acknowledging the increase in numbers requiring treatment in this regard, chairman Alan Connolly explains: "We need to increase staff, sustain funding for pilot projects and increase our education, arts and career guidance services to ensure our clients have meaningful activity that supports their recovery and allows them to fulfil their real potential."
According to the report, the centre boasts an impressive success rate with 71% of clients beating their addiction after two years of therapy
