If you use drugs

The guide Living on the Streets of Barcelona compiles the public and private resources in the city that homeless individuals can access directly, without needing a referral from social services.

This page lists specific resources for people who use drugs. These spaces usually offer a place to rest and access to hygienic services, in addition to providing a safe environment for drug use and harm reduction practices. You can visit the CAS (Centre for Attention and Follow-up on Drug Dependencies) in the area where you are.

Last update: 23/10/2024

You can learn about possible treatment options by calling Generalitat’s free hotline: 900 900 540. If you are actively using drugs, harm reduction centres offer syringe exchange points, supervised injection spaces, and social support.
