Villa Maraini’s emergency unit: a unique model of health and securityintegration in Italy to address drug problems
Since 1976, Villa Maraini Foundation has led a humanitarian approach to drug use, proving that care and safety can go hand in hand. Its 24/7 emergency unit — unique in Italy — bridges health services and law enforcement, offering immediate, person-centered support. Now, aligned with the Rome Consensus 2.0, Villa Maraini is preparing to launch a permanent task force to formalize this life-saving collaboration.
