About the ‘Druglijn’

You can contact the “Druglijn” by telephone, e-mail and online chat in full confidentiality. The helpline is operated by seven staff members and a group of about twenty duely trained volunteers.

Next to helping out people, The “Druglijn” also has a secondary role to play. Apart from giving information to the individual questions, tailor made and anonymous, it is also a source of anonymous data monitoring: it collects new trends in drug use, keeps track of changes in public attitudes towards alcohol and drug use, etc.

The “Druglijn” is part of VAD, the Dutch acronym for “Association for Alcohol and other Drug problems”. All studies, prevention and treatment associated with drug, medication and alcohol related abuse is channelled in the right direction by VAD. VAD is an NGO and recognised by the Flemish government.

The “Druglijn” is an active member of FESAT, the European Foundation of Drug Helplines.
