[Movement, play and sports in the treatment of drug addicts].

Abstract

In 1992 a campaign was initiated to bring to attention new ways for drug prevention in adolescents for health promotion in addicts and for therapy and follow-up of ex-addicts. By this broad base the Swiss Health Authority and the Federal Sports Institute at Magglingen together with partners from Swiss sport and addiction-care organizations try to contribute to a reduction of drug-related problems in Switzerland. The following article bases mainly on experiences with long-term therapy of the 'Drogenhilfe Aebihus' in Leubringen.
