New drug consumer in Görlitzer Park: hygienic consumption under medical support

drug consummobile brings help to the Görlitzer Park

A new offer of help has started its efforts in the busy Görlitzer Park in Berlin-Kreuzberg. The drug consuming mobile offers a room for the hygienic consumption of substances brought under medical supervision. This mobile service was previously used successfully in Neukölln and now offers four places in Görlitzer Park from Monday to Friday between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. for intravenous or inhalative consumption. The accompanying advice takes place through the contact and consulting mobile, which can also be found in the park area from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The Senate Department for Science, Health and Care finances these measures to support drug -consuming people in Görlitzer Park and the surrounding area. Due to the establishment of the drug consuming mobile and the advisory vehicle in this area, which also includes the Kottbuser Tor and the Wrangelkiez, not only a safe space is offered to those affected, but also advice and contact with further help offers.

The introduction of this measure also aims to relieve the public space around Görlitzer Park and to support better integration of those affected into society. The possibility of hygienic consumption not only offers health security, but also social relief.

This new offer shows how the Senate administration actively takes measures to help people in precarious life situations and at the same time to improve the cityscape. The integration of drug use in heavily frequented public areas can help to increase the quality of life and security for all citizens.
