Résumé : |
There are now (as of July 2011) 25 drug consumption rooms operating in 16 cities and six German states (Berlin, Hamburg, Hesse, Lower Saxony, North Rhine-Westphalia and the Saarland). While Hamburg operates five and Frankfurt am Main four drug consumption rooms, many other cities have to manage with fewer facilities and also with considerably restricted opening hours. As such, two ambulatory consumption rooms each are operated in Berlin and Cologne. All of the other cities such as Aachen, Bielefeld, Bochum, Bonn, Dortmund, Dusseldorf, Essen, Hannover, Münster, Saarbrücken Troisdorf and Wuppertal are limited to one drug consumption room each.
Berlin responded to the increasing decentralisation and fragmentation of the scene with the introduction of a mobile drug consumption room that stops at various meeting points of the Berlin scene. The results achieved by the drug consumption rooms so far are impressive. Good results were achieved for all of the intended objectives, despite the fact that some developmental tasks still lie ahead: - DCRs make a decisive contribution for survival assistance and risk minimisation when consuming illegalised drugs. - DCRs provide a bridge function towards further medical and psychosocial support with their low-threshold and acceptance-oriented contact opportunities. - DCRs make a significant contribution towards the reduction of problems related to the open drug scene in the cities. - DCRs significantly contribute to limiting the spread of infectious diseases such hepatitis and HIV, in addition to individual health protection.
