Providing a place to live and receive treatment for drug users released from prison:
The Pierre Nicole Center (French Red Cross) provides to released drug users a place to live where they can receive care and a complete follow-up soon after leaving jail. Thanks to this specific program, they benefit from a hotel room or a place in the inpatient unit, free of charge. They are provided psychological support, physical or medical treatment in accordance with their addiction.
This program aims to prevent any relapse, since many drug users do not have any place to stay when they are discharged from jail that often leads them to repeat their delinquent behaviour and consequently go to jail again.
When they are homeless, they can not have access to HIV, tuberculosis or hepatitis treatment. People, attended by the Pierre Nicole Center (more than 100 in 2010), can receive full treatment of their infectious diseases and drug addiction. It is important to note that crime rates have fallen.
