Notdienst Berlin e.V.
The emergency service for those at risk of addiction and those already addicted to drugs and alcohol in Berlin (Notdienst Berlin e. V.) was founded in 1984 and offers help to people with addiction. We also welcome people who are not addicted and who want to reflect on or change their consumption behaviour. In addition, we provide information on the effects and risks of substance consumption.
Our teams with a total of 170 employees* inform, advise, look after and accompany people and, if necessary, provide them with further assistance. Not only abstinence, but also a controlled and responsible use of addictive substances can be a step into a healthier and more self-determined life.
Years of addiction very often lead to health, social and financial problems such as debt, homelessness, unemployment and social isolation. We are therefore absolutely convinced that only a combination of different, coordinated aid can open up a meaningful and sustainable future for those affected.
We support social reintegration, participation in social life and the development of a meaningful daily structure and task.
Our work focuses on supporting children, young people and their families. Our employees’* focus is always on child protection.
Our specialist areas are the following:
- Consultancy and rehabilitation
- Substitution and psychosocial care
- Accommodation and emergency accommodation services
- Work and employment
- Helping young people and families
If you wish to get in touch with us, please contact our drug emergency advice centre which operates throughout Berlin.
