Merchant's Quay says it's seen an increase of nearly 10% in its annual report.
There has been an increase in the number of people accessing drug-addiction treatment services in the midlands.
Merchant's Quay Ireland reported a 9% increase nationally, with over 12,000 people seeking their help.
Currently, there are no in-care facilities in the midlands, with the closest being in Carlow and Dublin, but MQI says it wants to see that gap filled.
Head of Services and Operations at Merchant's Quay, Geoff Corcoran says almost every family has been touched directly or indirectly by addiction:
