New Psychoactive Substances in Europe
Handle it! is an Erasmus+ strategic partnership funded by the European Union. Within a professional European exchange of good practice between professionals, the project analyzes, connects and develope inpatient and outpatient treatment- and care-approaches and strategies for clients, who are using New Psychoactive Substances (NPS).
NPS are synthetically produced designer drugs. Their psychoactive effect is similar to that of other illegal drugs, but often much stronger, so there is a higher risk for a heavy damage of the individual health (cardiovascular arrest, psychosis, longterm brain damage). However, the manufacturers take meticulous care to ensure that the individual ingredients are not explicitly prohibited – hence the misleading synonym “legal highs”.
Handle it! involves institutions from Croatia, Portugal, Hungary, Germany, Italy and Austria.

Best practice
The methods are expert lectures, topicrelated workshops and working groups, research work, good-practice visits, case studies and case reviews and the development of treatment concepts for example.
Social Media Dokumentation
The project activities are accompanied by a mobile reporting, which allows an easier knowledge transfer to the treatment centers of the project partners and increases significantly the distribution and transparency to the public community, too.
