Overview
- Officials published and presented a 29‑page update of the long‑running Frankfurter Weg, focusing its next phase on crack dependence while retaining proven harm‑reduction pillars.
- A new addiction help center at Niddastraße 76 will bundle medical care, supervised use and social services under one roof, with Voitl indicating it could be ready for occupancy by year’s end.
- The plan seeks to lower admission criteria for diamorphine treatment and to launch model studies for crack therapies using cannabinoids, off‑label medications or cocaine as a substitute.
- Housing measures include transitional micro‑apartments near the hub, alongside a security concept and a planned roundtable with residents and businesses once the center opens.
- Implementation requires legal changes and funding from Hesse and the federal government, with requests already filed, and it adds a clearing office for non‑residents plus legal certainty for staff regarding very small peer sales.
