Do you have a child aged 12-16?

Firstly,  you can turn to the PMS/CLB of the school of your child or associations working with this issue. Infor-Drug offers information, help and advice to anyone who is closely or indirectly involved in the drug problem, anonymously.

You can also make an appointment with a professional carer who are bound by confidentiality. You can go to a Centrum Geestelijke, Gezondheidszorg (CGG) in your neighbourhood or ask your doctor..

 

Sometimes hospitalisation is necessary for recovering from an addiction. There are specialised hospitals and organisations where you can stay for as long as is needed. You can normally get professional help following hospitalisation.

You can call or email anonymously your questions about drugs, alcohol, medicines or gambling.
