The main objective of the project is improving the wellbeing and mental health of people through applying a comprehensive approach to addressing risks and harms of drug use and addictive behaviours, including in custodial settings, by placing human rights in the centre of drugs and addiction policies.

Specific Objectives:

• Professionals working on treatment and care of detained people, coping with or at risk of addictions, apply contemporary approaches and techniques in line with internationally recognised practices.
• Policy makers and specialists (law enforcement, prevention, health and social professionals) apply the acquired knowledge and tools to implement comprehensive national approaches to addressing substance use and related dependences at policy and institutional levels.
