We offer individual support and treatment for any dependence as well as for hepatitis C – open-minded and unbiased. Professionals from different specialist fields will work with you to improve your physical and mental health.

In a first meeting, we will be discussing your situation and inform you of the possible ways forward. Whether you would like to consume less, want to stop consumption temporarily or permanently, or whether you don’t know if your habit is at all problematic: We are here for you. We will support you to reach your goals – in a respectful collaboration with you.

We give advice to physicians and other specialists and conduct assessments on their behalf. In case of a referral, we will discuss and coordinate the extent of our services with you.
