Since 2016, the addiction support Basel has been offering an innovative prevention and harm reduction service for recreational users with Safer Dance Basel. Central elements are outreach work in clubs and at festivals as well as mobile drug checking directly on site. Since 2019, the service has been complemented by the outpatient Drug Checking DIBS (Drug Information Basel) at the counseling center of the addiction support region Basel, which allows the handing over of psychoactive substances every Monday from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm. Together, these services provide factual and well-founded information on the effects, risks, and possible consequences of the consumption of psychoactive substances. An accepting attitude is central, risk competence is strengthened, and users are supported in making informed and self-determined decisions—for more health and safety in the recreational context.
