Partners & Collaborations

Through years of practical work and scientific research, Arud has accumulated substantial knowledge over a wide range of areas. We bring this know-how to various collaborative projects. Together with our partners we combine knowledge and experience of different fields.

Family counselling for friends and relatives of people with an addictive disorder

minus
minus

A collaboration of Arud with ada-zh (family counselling in the field of addiction), which offers

  • counselling in person or over the phone as well as help with everyday problems or specific questions regarding living situations, finances, treatment, boundary setting or detachment for relatives or people close to someone affected
  • individual, family, or couples counselling
  • crisis interventions
  • information about addictive substances and their effects, and insights into the thinking and acting of people suffering from dependencies

The many years of experience of ada-zh in counselling relatives and the extensive knowledge of Arud in medical and psychiatric treatment and care of people suffering from addiction complement each other perfectly.

This cooperation enables us to better coordinate the different needs and demands of relatives and consumers, to resolve misunderstandings and to promote a mutual understanding.
