Therapeutic
programme is essentially educational and rehabilitative. The person involved is
not considered “ill”, thus no pharmaceutical treatment for addiction is
employed. While we do resort to psychotherapy or psychiatric methods, if they
are deemed necessary to treat problems of a specific and individual nature. San
Patrignano is completely free of charge for the young people in rehabilitation
and their families. What is more, admission into the Community and board and
lodging require no public funding. The fact that the service is free, allows
each young person to feel responsible for, and in control of, his or her
programme. The services and products that we create according to a philosophy
of self-sufficiency provide for about 50 per cent of the requirements of the
community. The remaining funds come from donations which, in keeping with the
community’s articles of association, do not come from our guests or their
families.
