Interaction and Imaginative Interplay
In Delmenhorst, Germany, the community is remembering those who have lost their lives to illegal drug consumption. Last year, 5 drug-related deaths were reported in the city, adding to the over 50,000 lives lost nationwide since 1990 due to illegal drug use.
To combat this crisis, it's crucial to have access to Substitution Therapy services. These services, provided by specialized doctors known as Substitution Doctors (Ärzte für Substitutionsbehandlung), play a vital role in treating addiction. In Delmenhorst, however, the lack of such doctors is causing a shortage of services.
Currently, there are only three practices offering Substitution Therapy in the area. The Anonymous Drug Counseling (drob) Delmenhorst, part of the AWO District Association Weser-Ems, is one such facility. Unfortunately, they are unable to take on new clients due to the lack of doctors for Substitution Therapy.
To find these essential medical professionals, there are several practical steps to follow:
- Utilize the official registry for Substitution Doctors: In Germany, these doctors are often listed in regional or federal medical directories due to the special permissions needed. The German Federal Narcotics Office (Bundesopiumstelle) or the regional medical association (Ärztekammer) may provide lists of authorized Substitution Doctors.
- Check local addiction treatment centers or clinics: Facilities focused on addiction treatment typically have contacts or referrals to Substitution Doctors.
- Contact your health insurance provider: They often have information on Substitution Treatment providers in specific areas.
- Search online with specific keywords: Use terms like "Substitutionsarzt Delmenhorst," "Substitutionstherapie Delmenhorst," or "Ärztliche Suchtbehandlung Delmenhorst."
The drob Delmenhorst is actively seeking doctors for Substitution Therapy and is encouraging more to join their ranks. They emphasize the importance of local offers for physically impaired individuals and are currently unable to take on new clients due to the lack of doctors.
In an effort to raise awareness about the need for more Substitution Therapy doctors, drob Delmenhorst is organizing a stone-painting event in Delmenhorst's town hall square. This event aims to provide an opportunity for people to talk and exchange ideas about drug-related issues. Materials for painting stones will be provided during the event, and music requests can be sent in advance.
