Drug Counselling Centre Receives Means for Online Documentation

Since 2013, online documentation of drug counselling activities is mandatory. Otherwise government subsidies will be cut. The drug-counselling centre of the parish Caritas Foundation in Kechkemét, Hungary could obtain the necessary technical requirements with help from the Diaconia Christi Internationalis Foundation.

For several years now, the parish Caritas Foundation in Kechkemét has been sponsoring the outpatient treatment of addicts. In the year 2000, the addict ambulance was initiated as a “diaconal model project for Kechkemét”. The “Renovabis” charity made this possible at that time with start-up funds. At this very moment, the centre provides help to 220 persons with addiction problems or psychiatric diseases. Fifteen specialists from various professions provide complex services to patients. The manager of the drug-counselling centre is Deacon Ferenc Molnár who, with his work, embodies the diaconal action of the local Church. In this way, the social-diaconal activity of the addict ambulance became an authentic ecclesial witness for the diakonia of the Church far beyond the local ecclesial structures. In many places, this project serves the initial as well as the permanent formation of deacons.
