Villa Maraini foundation

The Villa Maraini Foundation is the National Agency for Drug Addiction of the Italian Red Cross. Founded by Massimo Barra in 1976, it consists of a set of services based on different threshold levels: low, medium and high, depending on the user’s motivation. The Foundation is open 24 hours a day 365 days per year, and provides treatment and rehabilitation of drug addiction, alcohol abuse and gambling basing its work on the 7 Fundamental Principles of the Red Cross, first of all the principle of Humanity.

The Agency’s therapeutic strategy is to adapt therapy to the subject and not vice versa.

As early as 1979, Massimo Barra talked about what would become the three objectives that are currently politically defined as harm reduction:

“There are three objectives of therapy: avoiding the irreparable; improving the quality of life; catalyzing the rediscovery of alternatives ”

DAILY DROP-IN CENTRE The Drop-in Centre offers a protected space for the entire day to people who have not yet reached the decision to undertake a therapeutic program, despite seeking for an alternative to drugs.

Besides the solving of practical problems, such as the possibility of having a meal or a shower, clients receive from the staff a prejudicefree reception.

Clients are able to satisfy both their immediate needs, as the therapeutic work starts from the needs, and establish a relationship of trust and confidence with the staff, which can be useful in case they should decide to begin a therapeutic programme, to which they will be accompanied and oriented.

THERAPEUTIC COMMUNITY It is an environment in which the various therapeutic, educational and rehabilitation activities are carried out during dynamic and organized days; clients have the possibility to empower themselves and face their own difficulties and resources. It is open every weekday from 8.30am to 7.30pm and Saturday until 2.30pm.

The multidimensional therapeutic approach takes into account each person in his uniqueness, and as the protagonist of his own past and relationship history. Each activity provides precious opportunities for clients to activate their own resources in order to focus and modify their problematic aspects.

The Group is the main element: the intensity of the relationships built in the Community among the group members, the emotional impact of daily exchanges, the irreplaceable strength of mutual support ensure that people can

18

develop step by step a solid sense of belonging, often undermined by one’s own experiences of deviance and marginality. The programme is based around individualized projects and is structured in a semiresidential phase of a duration of about 24 months, and in an outpatient external verification phase, aimed at the complex process of social reintegration, lasting about one year.

Villa Maraini foundation / High-threshold services

The role of operators, who facilitate this evolutionary process, is fundamental, supporting, helping and stimulating clients to confront each other and to give value to their resources.

The model we use is the biopsycho-social one, that places addiction within a complex evolutionary process of multifactorial nature. In particular, our therapeutic programme uses

various types of clinical tools as well as integrating different approaches.

ALTERNATIVE CENTRE TO DETENTION The centre offers assistance to drug addicted inmates sent by magistrates to follow an alternative to detention therapeutic programme. At their arrival, clients are welcomed through an individual interview and a first hypothesis of diagnosis and therapeutic path is established, which will be confirmed or not in the following phases. The first period is aimed at personal knowledge, evaluation of the motivation and observation of relational dynamics.

The group becomes the everyday life key element and the various ergo-therapy and recreational and socializing activities are included in this context, as well as the gradual increase of responsibilities in the management of various tasks.

A personal psychologist is assigned to each client and an individual therapeutic project is

20

set, based on the specific needs and resources of the client. The clinical diagnosis is studied in depth, and the importance of the group as a greater social and therapeutic transformation resource is increased. In addition, the family is also involved in the therapeutic path, fundamental to foster the common therapeutic process.

The last phase is aimed at the social and employment reintegration of the patient.

Work activities as part of the therapeutic path include: restructuring and maintenance of the Foundation’s internal and external spaces; maintenance and cultivation of the garden; maintenance and cleaning of the park.

Re-socializing activities:

TRAINING, VOLUNTEERING AND INTERNSHIP These important services are aimed at training both volunteers and interns on drug addiction, alcoholism, gambling and all issues related to youth hardship and marginalization, in order to involve them in our daily work. During the year, the services organize conferences, seminars and training courses also for volunteers of the Italian RC, sector operators, school and prisons workers, as well as information courses at companies and workplaces, with the commitment of the most qualified Italian experts on drug addiction, including external to the Foundation.

Courses are modulated for specific professional categories (doctors, psychologists, nurses, etc.) and for former drug addicted operators.

According to the methodology common to all the services of the Foundation, even with different

32

therapeutic and operational intentions, the training courses are planned not only as simple learning intervention, but as tools for practical use. Even the training develops following the evolution of intervention strategies used by the Villa Maraini Foundation, with a progressive differentiation of therapeutic programs based on changes of the user and his history of drug addiction.
