Exchange of best practice guaranteeing health, safety and stability
The health of clients and the health of employees are paramount. In the TC, it is essential to follow the restrictions. This is a very dynamic demand when we consider the psychological burdens of the clients and their willingness to cooperate:
– How does management ensure security witin the TC?
– How can structural hygiene conditions be produced?
– Can the quality and basic principles of treatment be protected throughout the restrictions? – Can the fundamental right of treatment for addicts be further provided and ensured in this difficult period?

Challenges tackling the crises: Financing the extra costs and protecting staff from Burn Out
Enormous financing challenges are arising from the Corona crisis: facilities have to tackle limited admission or strict admission regulations. Very clearly the number of clients in treatment is going down while the requirement for treatment, addiction and mental health problems are increasing. Staff is confronted with situation of rising responsibility in this situation of general insecurity. What can facilities do to protect staff and to protect the facility from financial breakdown. Is there also a motivational impact of the crisis leading back to realize basic values, reconsidering the original strength and dynamic aspects of the TC?
