Addiction Medicine

Experienced addiction medicine

Addiction medicine is our primary area of focus. The practice was founded in 1997 and was the first in Berlin to cooperate with an addiction support facility under one roof in an outpatient model; the clinic became known as A.I.D. Kreuzberg.

I (Norbert E. Lyonn) joined as a medical partner in 2005, following many years of experience in the field of addiction medicine in both Berlin and the USA. I have been managing the practice myself for several years now, together with two general practitioners and a psychiatrist.

Focus on substitution treatment

The focus of our addiction medicine services is substitution treatment, which involves the administration of legal substitutes (medication) instead of illegal opiates and opioids as part of a therapeutic concept. We have experience with all substitutes available on the German market and use them in a targeted manner. In doing so, we strive to take patient preferences into account when deciding on the respective substitution medication.

Our work is shaped by the understanding that everyone seeking addiction treatment has a desire to improve their life situation.

“We are firmly convinced that change is possible. We would like to support you on this (sometimes long) journey and offer you our expertise and many years of experience.”

Substitution treatment in close cooperation

In close cooperation with Notdienst Berlin e.V. and Caritas Spandau, we currently treat more than 350 people in this outpatient substitution model, providing not only medical and addiction therapy support but also competent and dedicated assistance with your social, psychological, and other needs.
