SANANIM z.ú.

SANANIM z.ú. is a Czech non-governmental non-profit organization (z.ú., zápisová ústav) that has worked in the field of drug addiction since its founding in 1990. Its stated mission is to provide help to people at risk of drug addiction and to their loved ones through a network of programmes and services that together form a comprehensive system of prevention, care, treatment and resocialization. Rather than a single clinic, SANANIM operates a broad portfolio of facilities and projects across the Czech Republic, ranging from street-level outreach to residential therapeutic communities and aftercare. The organization's facilities include outreach (terénní) programmes, a Roma outreach programme, a contact centre (Kontaktní centrum), specialized outpatient services known as CADAS, the Karlov therapeutic community, the Němčice therapeutic community (which inspired the film Pravidla lži / Rules of Lies), a day stacionář, an aftercare centre, an aftercare centre for mothers with children, a parents' counselling service, a work and social agency, a centre for people in conflict with the law, and a drug information centre. Beyond direct services, SANANIM runs primary prevention, telematics counselling and information services, a programme for mothers with children, and educational and research projects, and it participates in international development projects. SANANIM also operates social enterprises, notably Café Therapy (a restaurant and café) and a sheltered ceramics workshop linked to a charity shop. It engages in advocacy and public education, cooperating at both local and central levels in the planning and implementation of drug policy, including international cooperation and efforts to change public attitudes toward drug addiction. It also educates laypeople, professionals and paraprofessionals in the field of drug addiction. The organization maintains a public profile through its website, an online drug counselling service (Drogová poradna), a drug information server, primary prevention pages, publications, and an original podcast. Its homepage highlights current news items, open job positions, and ways for the public to support its work, including a campaign to fund art therapy supplies. SANANIM is supported by a range of well-known Czech public figures listed on its website, including musicians, athletes, actors, journalists and others. It is a private, non-state non-profit entity rather than a commercial company, and it remains active in the Czech Republic.
