Support Our Work – For Progress

Arud was founded by committed medical specialists during a time when pictures of the open drug scene in Zurich shook the world. It was a necessary and pragmatic response to these precarious circumstances. With its hands-on approach and corresponding research work, Arud has, since its beginnings 25 years ago, played a substantial role in shaping Swiss drugs policy. The goal of our work has remained the same: to guarantee treatment for everyone affected by an addiction.

Today, the treatment of addiction is one of the mandatory services provided by health insurance companies. But Arud's work encompasses much more: as a committed player in the field of addiction, we work at various levels to ensure that the situation of people affected by addiction continues to improve.

As important as they are: Not all of Arud's services can be covered by health insurance. For innovative offers and special projects we rely on the support of patrons and partners.
