Since 1978, MEDIAN has offered a wide range of services at multiple sites in Germany to support people with mental health and/or addictions to reintegrate into society.
The people we support are men and women with long-term addictions - some of whom experience considerable mental and physical impairment as a result of substance misuse.
MEDIAN offers specialist residential care within therapy centres for people who are temporarily, or permanently, unable to live independently due to physical, mental or psychological challenges or social challenges. Individuals' needs and goals play a significant role in designing the support we provide which is focussed on overcoming social difficulties and living independently. As part of this service, the people we support have the opportunity to practise skills they might have forgotten and develop new perspectives on life.
