It has been many years in the making: now there is finally an addiction help center in Salzburg in the entrance area to the Doppler Clinic with all services in one location. The association, clinic and state are moving in. Moving in was the order of the day on Friday. 

It is a quantum leap for the team and patients of the Salzburg Addiction Help Center: "We are leaving a building that is almost a hundred years old and can now finally offer a friendly environment at the highest therapeutic level," says a delighted Gottfried Jakober, head of the Addiction Help Center.

37 beds in the addiction help center
Friday was moving day: the team and patients moved into the new premises in the former parking lot area of the Doppler Clinic. 37 beds are available for addiction treatment. In addition, the state's psychosocial service for counseling and the addiction therapy ward of the Doppler Clinic, where withdrawal therapies take place, are moving into the building complex directly connected to the clinic.

Director Jakober: "Above all, it was important for us to create a pleasant atmosphere." What will happen to the former building on the opposite side of Ignaz-Harrer-Straße has not yet been finally decided. A location for assisted living is being considered.
