Drugsinfo: Know them, not to love them

The project “Establishing a Bulgarian drugs helpline and Interactive Information website” is executed by the team of

“Solidarnost” Association for rehabilitation of dependent people.

In our work with dependent people and their parents and relatives we often receive questions and opinions like “Drug addiction cannot be cured”, “Could marihuana cause an addiction?”, “What kind of detoxification could be done and where?”, “How can I test my child for drugs?”, “Is addiction a disease?”, “Are amphetamines addictive?”... These and similar questions helped us understand the need in our society of reliable information about the drugs, their effects and the risks of using, as well as actual information where to find help.

The drugs info line is the first of its kind in Bulgaria and has the following advantages:

Anonymity – each of you can call the hot telephone line or use the chat, e-mail and forum in order to contact us without risk of personality revealing and without fear of conviction;
Accessibility – the info line is accessible 24 hours a day – the work time of our team is from 9 to 17 h, during the other 12 h you can see information on our website or listen to the tapes on our “hot answering machine”;
Objectivity – we are not “for” or “against” drug use, we can only help you make your choice and answer your difficult and sometimes painful questions;
Professionalism – our team consists of professionals, who are taught at work in the field of addictions.

The project “Establishing a Bulgarian drugs helpline and Interactive Information website” is financed by the MATRA Programme of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands. The project partners are:
