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.
Where your support is needed:
The Arud Patient Fund
Many of our patients live at the subsistence level. Der Arud-Patient:innen-fonds ermöglicht rasche und unbürokratische Unterstützung, wenn das Netz der sozialen Absicherung zu reissen droht.
Our Peer Project
Peers share the same space of experience with those affected. They form a bridge to our patients and help us to make our treatment offering even more tailored to their needs.
Research for practice
From the beginning, Arud has evaluated its offerings to measure benefits and impact. Today, we continue to conduct research in order to constantly expand and develop our offerings.
Thank you very much for your commitment!
