Beschreibung der Einrichtung

The “Centro Trentino di Solidarietà” – CTS, was funded in 1984 and was dedicated exclusively with the problem of heroin addiction, opening a residential community. During the following years, there was an evolution of the problem to new kinds of addiction and a significant increase of the phenomenon of alcoholism in local area; with those complex patients, it was necessary to change and specialize the ways and means of intervention. There was then established a therapeutic project.
By redefining the objectives of treating multi-problem patients, there was established a residential project, named “Casa Giano”. This house deals specifically with people who suffer from both pathological addictions (in particular from substances), and co-existing phsicological problems. The project is divided into three modules: First reception; Supporting community; and Re-integration to society. Casa Giano is located in Vezzano (TN) - 20 minutes from Trento - and currently accommodates 30 people. To have more information about the structure, we invite you to visit the website (in Italian, with pictures): http://www.citiesse.org/casa-di-giano.html
Since the year 2000, CTS also operates a hosting house for people with AIDS (“Casa Lamar”). This structure provides assistance to guests throughout the day, offering a friendly safe and organized environment; a healthy food and comfortable accommodation besides the opportunity for healing and growth in a human, cultural and spiritual point of view.
