Resistance to a new crack aid center: Tenants are shocked!

Niddastraße 76, 60329 Frankfurt, Deutschland - In Frankfurt, a new addiction aid center for crack-dependent is planned at Niddastraße 76, which meets considerable resistance. With this project, the city administration pursues the goal of getting the drug addicts from public space and offering support at a central point. However, critics fear that the center could attract more drug addicts and that the situation in the Bahnhofsviertel could further tighten without valid alternatives. This is reported by the FAZ .

The tenants of the planned location, including the office community of Paal Lüdcke and Tobias Friedberg, were not informed in advance. They only learned about the project through a press release that a friend forwarded them. Both have invested around 100,000 euros in renovation work in the past six years and are now concerned about the effects of the planned facility on their business. Other users of the property, such as a yoga studio, were only attentive to the plans for the plans .

rapidly increasing crack consumption

Crack consumption in Germany has increased significantly in recent years. According to the current figures, the number of consumption processes in Dortmund rose from 61 in 2015 to almost 50,000 last year. Crack, which is made by mixing cocaine with baking powder or soda, leads to intensive feelings of happiness, followed by a dramatic crash. Consumers are forced to adapt their daily processes accordingly by often reaching for the pipe, up to 30 times a day.

Critics who speak out against drug use exacerbates the problem by not offering any sustainable alternatives. In addition, they lead to a further loss of identity in the dependent and an increase in the visible drug problem in public .

planned central drug help

The city's social department plans to concentrate the crack scene at a location in order to contain drug use and adequately supply the dependent. A decision on the rental or the purchase of the building is aimed at before the summer holidays, whereby the northeast end of Niddastraße as an epicenter of the crack epidemic is . After the building was taken over, the magistrate wants to cancel the remaining tenant. The notice period is three months, which could lead to existential difficulties for some tenants.

The demand for adequate help is urgent in order to meet the needs of a clientele affected. While there is a glimmer of hope that a substitute for crack addicts will be developed, the question remains whether this can be realized in the foreseeable future. The breakthrough in the substitute for heroin addicts (methadone) could serve as a positive example, but a similar progress for crack addicts is still made up of .
