Tietu ry

Tietu ry is an independent Finnish association that provides information and support related to substance dependence. Active since 2001, it helps people who use substances work toward stopping, and supports former users in maintaining a substance-free life. The association is independent of political parties and religions, and its approach centers on building and sustaining contact with people affected by substance dependence.

Tietu’s activities include creating support networks, coordinating volunteer support people, and arranging peer groups. Its website also lists recovery coaching and FC-Tietu among its services. The association aims to develop practical ways of working so it can better serve clients and support their efforts to live without substances. Its services are free of charge to clients.

Based in Turku, Finland, Tietu asks visitors to arrange an appointment in advance by phone, text message, or email. Through ongoing personal and peer-based support, the association seeks to offer accessible help to people navigating substance-related challenges.
