An Important Internet-Portal to Addiction Help in Switzerland
Infoset Direct is one of the most important portals for addiction help in Switzerland.
Infoset Direct provides extensive actual information and interesting links to the diversified services for addiction help in Switzerland. It also provides information to relevant international themes and web-sites.
The contents, in both German and French, are processed by two editorial offices.
The most important Information-Blocks are:
- Fundamental material and background information concerning Switzerland's politics towards addiction categorised under Prevention, Harm Reduction, Therapy and Repression.
- Information about actual themes (Dossiers).
- Addresses and Links to out-patient services, treatment centres, organisations and committees, which are active in the field of addiction at the local, regional, national and international levels.
- Infodrog Database Addiction Aid Facilities in Switzerland. Database of outpatient, low-threshold, residential and semi-residential facilities in addiction aid (alcohol, illegal drugs, (non-)prescription drugs and addictive behaviours).
as well as interesting Links and numerous additional contents listed thematically.
Presently there is little information concerning national issues
available in English. An important page to addiction work in Switzerland,
offered in English, is the homepage of the Swiss Federal Office of Public
Health (BAG: Bundesamt für Gesundheit):
