Implementing the project organization provided almost double amount of individual consultations than in was initially planned, also more than planned people were reached and lectures read. Consultations took place in different places, but most often in Klaipeda Centre for Addictive Disorders or in Anonymous Consultation Cabinet. Consultations were confidential and if needed or requested - anonymous. Clients were also consulted at home and in public places (cafeterias, parks, waiting for a visit to the doctor or during the walk in the street).
