Drug Prevention Languedoc Roussillon

This special care centre for drug addicts (C.S.S.T.), administered by the association Blannaves Logos, makes the day of the day without appointment. As part of its mission (care and support for drug users), Logos provides medical and psychological counselling for people in demand. Doctor and nurse are present to establish a diagnosis with the user, possibly respond to alternative needs and provide emergency care. An educator and other participants at the reception act more on a social slope and insertion.

A free number, always accessible, to speak, be listened to and advised, in all cases.

Founded in 1994, this association has become a reception and accompaniment centre for the reduction of risks among drug users (Caarud). The team of health and social professionals supports people who have a addiction problem, a health or law issue, linked to their use. At the acccueil, there is a constant listening time with facilitators and educators but also volunteers who participate in the action. This approach to self-support, peer education, makes the specificity of this rather atypical eda. Its missions aim to prevent the user from the risk of infection by AIDS or hepatitis viruses by providing support and information on prevention. A reception area open 4 days a week, where the informed public can learn about the risks it takes, find a programme for the exchange of sterile syringes and benefit from social support, a service of showers, washing machines and small user friendliness (tea, coffee, soft drinks).
