The Association Addictions France has a public health remit. Its aim is to work towards preventing risky behaviour by highlighting the consequences of addictive practices.

This approach coordinates :

Prevention and the reduction of risks and harm, with the aim of thinking about our practices with full knowledge and awareness (information/awareness/training in all environments and at all stages of life).
Support and care to help people in difficulty with addictive practices and behaviours. Help is also offered to family and friends on how to think and act to reduce risks and harm. Three addiction centres (CSAPA: Centre de soins d'accompagnement et de prévention en addictologie) are run by the Association Addictions France in the Bouches-du-Rhône, spread over 6 locations:

Aix en Provence, La Ciotat, Martigues, Marseille, Salon, Tarascon + 3 local consultations (Port St Louis, St Rémy, Vitrolles)
