Substance abuse services in Pirkanmaa region

With us, everyone is met with respect and without fear of being excluded from the service. The treatment path is built individually and flexibly, taking into account the client’s situation and changes in their motivation for treatment.

Outpatient drug Treatment at two clinics

Suunta – an outpatient drug treatment clinic for adults of all ages.
Satelliitti – an outpatient drug treatment clinic for young adults under 25.

At both units, we offer a variety of support and treatment:

Community and group activities – peer support and doing things together.
Individual counseling support – unrushed meetings and walking alongside the client through their journey.
Support with social and health services – help with applying for benefits and services.
Opioid substitution therapy and detoxification – safely and according to a plan.
Home-based care – support in special situations, such as during illness.
Low-threshold care – no one is left behind.

Treatment is based on each patient’s individual needs

Treatment is built upon a multidisciplinary care plan, and the client’s progress is actively monitored.

As part of the treatment, psychosocial support, community-based activities, and medication may be included to help manage substance use and alleviate the related psychological and social challenges.

Clients receive services tailored to their needs in a timely manner, and we offer support during changes in treatment as well as transitions to other services.
