MAAD Digital is a French scientific information platform focused on addiction and designed primarily for people aged 13 to 25. It explains the mechanisms behind addictions involving both substances and behaviors, sharing accessible educational content on topics such as alcohol, cannabis, cocaine, nicotine, gaming, and gambling. Its aim is to help young people and the professionals who support them better understand psychoactive substances, health, and addictive behaviors through evidence-based information.

The platform offers articles and themed dossiers, alongside infographics that explain subjects such as how substances are processed in the body and how the brain’s reward system works. Visitors can also explore quizzes on topics including cannabis, cocaine, addiction treatment, and synthetic drugs, as well as short videos covering prevention, public health, mental health, and sexuality. MAAD Digital invites users to ask questions and submit content, and provides account access to additional material. Its site also includes dedicated resources for education, prevention, health, social work, and research professionals. The project is presented as being carried by L’Arbre des Connaissances.
