General Information - Schweizer Haus Hadersdorf

Schweizer Haus Hadersdorf (SHH) is a non-profit facility for inpatient and outpatient therapy for addiction disorders. Utilising short- to medium-term therapies, medical-psychiatric treatment, and social work support to help addicted people along their way to a stable, self-determined life.

The SHH is the only inpatient therapy facility in Vienna. From the beginning, it has pursued innovative approaches based on the needs of those affected. The location is a concept, constant accessibility maintains contact with the family, and outings enable the testing of therapeutic progress. In addition, there is the low-threshold approach of also taking in those who were not or no longer accepted in other facilities. For a long time, it was the only facility in Austria where substitution was also offered on an inpatient basis, which was an opportunity for many drug addicts to access intensive treatment.
