Chrysalis staff visited Medicos de Mundo Consumption Van, which operates in various locations from Monday to Sunday. This service permits clients to inject safely from the local neighbourhoods.

The team consists of 2 nurses, 2 psychologists, one peer support worker and one social worker per van.

This service takes a harm reduction approach, providing toiletries and sexual health products along with tea, coffee, and biscuits, and, most importantly, a friendly welcome.

The van holds space for 2 clients. While people wait, it gives the team time to build relationships with individuals, and some would require a needle exchange.

Staff had a chance to chat with clients & experience the environment!

Chrysalis staff visited Comunidade Vida e Paz a male-only residential service located on the outskirts of Lisbon.

The service has the capacity to accommodate 65 males who arrive directly following medical detox. The residential programme typically runs for 18 months to two years, with the possibility of extension depending on the individual’s circumstances.

Family intervention is considered an important part of the programme, supporting service users in rebuilding and strengthening relationships with their families.

The service collaborates with Housing First initiatives to support service users with reintegration into the community. In addition, the organisation provides supported accommodation on site, consisting of seven apartments.

This residential unit is unique in that it also works with individuals who have mental health difficulties or other vulnerabilities, including some who are not experiencing addiction issues.

The organisation also delivers various outreach services throughout Lisbon and surrounding areas, providing basic necessities such as toiletries, clothing, and food to people in need.

Chrysalis are exploring addiction services in Portugal!

CDP

Since 2001, Portugal has implemented a pioneering, health-focused drug policy that decriminalized the personal possession of all illicit substances. Lisbon, as the capital, is the central hub for this policy, including the headquarters of the European Union Drugs Agency.

When service users are caught with up to a 10-day supply of substances, users are referred to panels (Commissions for the Dissuasion of Drug Addiction) rather than through the court system. These panels focus on treatment and counselling rather than punishment.
