Summary of project results

There was no survey in Esztergom to assess drug consumption in the city and its neighbourhood. The city did not have drug ambulance or other assistances, such as community based or low-threshold services. The aim of the project was to fill this gap at least partly, and provide addiction consultancy services in Esztergom. In the project they reached 800 people (addict person, relatives, and professionals) with the services.
