Origin and history
The association was founded under the name “Drug Aid Tübingen in Berlin eV” and was the first such facility to be entered in the Berlin register of associations on June 13, 1979. The initiators, above all doctors, psychologists, social workers and affected parents from what was then the western part of Berlin, reacted to the change in the city's drug scene. At this time, heroin came onto the Berlin drug market for the first time , associated with the drug death of young people. Since then, the association has built up a network of advice, support, therapy and educational offers to offer therapies for addicts and to prepare them for a drug-free life. In addition, the association offers various social and care services for children and young people in socially or psychologically difficult situations. In 1985 the association was transformed into “Drug Aid Tannenhof Berlin e. V. "renamed, 2003 in" Tannenhof Berlin-Brandenburg e. V. "
A restructuring was implemented at the beginning of 2015 and certain areas of the overall sponsor were transferred to the new Tannenhof Berlin-Brandenburg gGmbH (this includes the addiction rehabilitation facilities (with inpatient and outpatient therapy as well as aftercare) and addiction counseling centers in Berlin and Brandenburg), all other offers (Tannenhof school, the children's area (day and residential groups for children) as well as the areas of prevention and advanced training) remained with Tannenhof Berlin-Brandenburg eV
Fields of activity
Addiction support
Addiction therapy and addiction rehabilitation are offered to drug addicts under medical supervision. This is followed by aftercare treatments such as adaptation and assisted living . The site in Berlin-Lichtenrade , on which Therapy Center 1 is located today, is the founding location of the overall sponsor. The first addiction support facility was opened there in 1979. Today there is not only a therapy facility for about 40 people, but also the attached children's house with currently 16 places for children of parents in therapy. In Berlin-Wilmersdorf, the association has been operating the “Die Pfalzburger” therapy center for around 60 addicts since 2009. In the building of a former hospital, an addiction therapy facility was built in the middle of the city for the first time. In Schönbirken near Neuruppin there are 32 therapy places for alcohol addicts . After a successful withdrawal treatment, the so-called adaptation phase follows for people in therapy as a transition to a self-organized everyday life. The association currently offers these in Berlin-Buckow and in Neuruppin, Brandenburg. The outpatient center in Berlin-Wilmersdorf organizes aftercare and assisted living for people who have already completed therapy; the day clinic's range of therapies is aimed at addicts who still have an intact social environment that supports them during abstinence . The offers are therefore usually referred to as outpatient addiction therapy treatment. In addition, the association operates a number of addiction counseling centers that serve as the first point of contact in the state of Brandenburg .

timeline
The association has developed into one of the largest providers in the Berlin region over the course of three decades and is now doing its work with a two-digit million budget.
The early years
The story begins with the move of the therapeutic community into the area of the so-called Tannenhof in Berlin-Lichtenrade and the reception of the first residents in 1979. In 1983 the children's home opened on the grounds of the Tannenhof. In the same year, apprenticeship training for office clerks in Tannenhof and for metal workers in the locksmith's shop "Altes Pumpwerk" began. In addition, the first outdoor living group was set up in Berlin-Lichtenrade. The Tannenhof School was founded five years later.
recognition
In 1989 the Tannenhof was recognized by the Federal Insurance Institute for Salaried Employees (BfA). Just one year later, the association took over the Landhaus Oppenheim in Berlin-Wannsee as a second therapy center and achieved recognition of the concept by the state insurance institute and the BfA. The work of the outpatient center in Berlin-Wilmersdorf began in 1992 and the first day group for children in Lichtenrade (TALI) was founded. Further day groups were created in 1995, 1998, 2004 and 2005. From 1993 the alcohol cessation treatment was carried out in the Schönbirken house near Lindow and a year later the Neuruppin adaptation was set up and the Königs Wusterhausen addiction counseling service opened in cooperation with the Dahme-Spreewald district (LDS). This was followed in 1995 by the opening of the integrated addiction counseling service in Neuruppin and in 1997 by the founding of the Adaptation House in Berlin-Buckow.
2000 until today
In 2002, the association opened the all-day outpatient facility “Die Tagesklinik” in Berlin-Wilmersdorf and took over the Cottbus addiction counseling service following a tender by the city of Cottbus . In 2005, the supraregional addiction prevention center Brandenburg, based in Lübben, was opened . Four years later, the first inner-city addiction therapy center "Die Pfalzburger" opened in Berlin-Wilmersdorf and the certification according to DIN EN ISO 9001: 2008 ( quality management ). In 2010 the Tannenhof School was recognized as an official school experiment. In the following year, the stationary children's residential group "House on the Hill" was opened. In 2012 the day clinic for addiction disorders, the outpatient center and the central admission department moved to the new location “Center for Health and Rehabilitation”. From 2013, the Psychosomatic Rehabilitation division was operated in Berlin-Wilmersdorf. A year later, the renovation and opening of the children's farm in Berlin-Lichtenrade followed with a new residential group and the move of the day-care groups to Dorfteich. In 2015, the sponsor was divided into an eV and a gGmbH, both of which continue to bear the old name Tannenhof Berlin-Brandenburg. In the association and above all the business areas child aid, prevention, school are located, in the gGmbH mainly the therapy offers for adults. In 2019 the carrier will celebrate its 40th anniversary.
criticism
The association mainly offers abstinence-oriented addiction therapy. Contrary to this concept is the approach of a substitution therapy in which, under professional control, methadone, for example, is given to severely addicts as a substitute. There were also critical voices from the addiction rehabilitation industry, which, however, now seems out of date, as the provider now runs its own PSB program in Cottbus, for example, and has been cooperating with substitute bodies in Berlin for some time.
In the 1990s, the association repeatedly hit the headlines because it was generously funded by the German Class Lottery Foundation under its then chairman Klaus-Rüdiger Landowsky , and the suspicion of favoritism arose. However, the lottery money from the DKLB Foundation was applied for, approved, used and accounted for on a project basis in accordance with the General Management Principles for Foundation donations.
There are also critical voices about the size of the network as a whole, which is now spread across Berlin and Brandenburg with its facilities. The individual institutions work under the overall name of the provider, but overlaps and main tasks are sometimes not easy to recognize for outsiders.
