Gaïa-Paris

Gaïa-Paris is a French nonprofit association established under the 1901 law, focused on improving the overall health of people who use drugs, particularly those experiencing poverty or facing barriers to care. It develops specialist expertise and practical support designed to make health services more accessible and to promote harm reduction.

Its activities include a CSAPA service and a CAARUD, as well as the Halte Soins Addictions – Espace Jean-Pierre Lhomme. The association also operates SPIDH, a mobile screening service, and provides the Espace de Repos at Porte de La Chapelle. Other services listed include hotel accommodation, CARE (Centre Ambulatoire de Rétablissement), and LaboFabrik and Lab’Expair. Gaïa-Paris offers training in harm reduction and addiction care through its training organisation, with a catalogue of courses available. Its website also provides information for people seeking harm-reduction equipment or substitution treatment. Through this range of services, the association supports people affected by drug use and connects them with health, screening, accommodation, recovery, and educational resources.
