Further support

Counselling by email has many advantages, but it also has limitations. Addictive behaviour in particular can be traced back to deeper causes. These can only be explored and treated with long-term therapeutic measures. Often, addictions and addictive behaviour lead to other problems (debts, unemployment, etc.).

Outpatient and inpatient therapy and life support

Psychotherapeutic treatment:
In psychotherapy, current problems, but also long-standing stresses are discussed. The treatment can be short-term or last longer. Often it is about behaviour patterns that repeat themselves in everyday life.

Social work support:
If you have problems with your work, teaching or school situation, debt, unemployment or other difficulties, we offer support and guidance. We can offer you this kind of support at our counselling office. You can find out more here.

Drug treatment:
There are drugs with specific effects that can help to cope with substance problems (e.g. cocaine and alcohol). But treatment of comorbidities can also be useful for substance problems.

Who pays the costs?

Many social counselling centres are free of charge. Therapeutic or medical treatments, however, are subject to a fee. The assessment and treatment of substance problems in a medically oriented counselling centre is covered by the basic health insurance. If you would like to have the assessment done anonymously, this is usually possible. Ask for a self-pay tariff.

The professionals are bound by professional secrecy and may not pass on any data to third parties without your express consent.
