Service description
Addiction prevention aims to prevent the health, social, and financial harms associated with the use of legal and illegal substances, as well as the consequences of addictive behavior. These services are aimed at children, adolescents, young adults, and adults in various settings.
As part of addiction prevention, various support options are available to those affected and their families. This includes measures such as counseling sessions, early prevention, and informational materials, which can be found online.
Services are available for all forms and degrees of addiction.
Through online platforms, telephone counseling, and in-person consultations, you can receive the appropriate and free support you need. In a one-on-one conversation, your situation can be addressed on an individual basis. Assistance is provided in finding suitable counseling centers nearby or anonymous counseling services. All counseling sessions are subject to confidentiality.
Procedure
There are several possible procedures. One possible procedure is:
1. Get information online
A first step can be gathering information online. For example, visit the social platform for practical information, early recognition of signs of addiction, and support options, or the online platform DigiSucht.

As a person who may be struggling with addiction or a family member, you can personally contact the counseling center by phone, email, or chat. An appointment will be scheduled, or online counseling will be arranged.

During an initial consultation, your individual needs and the type of support required in the area of addiction prevention are discussed.
