Procedure details
Description
Withdrawal treatment is the first essential step towards a life free of addiction. In Bavaria, it takes place in general care hospitals of all care levels, (district) hospitals and university clinics. Detoxification is offered according to different concepts (e.g. withdrawal with strong motivational components). Detoxification falls under acute treatment. The costs are therefore covered by the statutory health insurance providers. Further information on the treatment chain for addiction can be found on the website of the German Centre for Addiction Issues (DHS) (see "Related links").
You can find an overview of the addiction support facilities available in Bavaria at the Coordination Office for Bavarian Addiction Support (KBS) (see "Related links").
Please bring the necessary documents with you to therapy in consultation with the counseling center and detoxification facility.
Requirements
Clarification of insurance-related questions by the selected addiction counseling center or, if applicable, the referring physician or the treating hospital.
