Addiction


Even if you know that your own use of addictive substances is problematic or you are worried about a family member or acquaintance, it is often very difficult to take action and get help. Unfortunately, the inhibition threshold is still very high. There are now many digital services that can be used completely anonymously and directly from home. There are many counseling and exchange options for both those affected and their relatives. Here we have collected some interesting sites and offers that you are welcome to browse through.
