Struggles with health, social isolation or criminal records: people who use drugs like crack cocaine or (meth)amphetamines find themselves in very similar situations to heroin users. But what types of services can you offer people who don’t inject?
The tone of voice and contents of the articles are geared to the level of knowledge and living environment of substance users. Mainline never uses a pedantic tone and the articles are based on outreach work.
The idea behind the magazine is to strengthen the self-image of users. Experience has shown that subjects discussed in the magazine form an important starting point for outreach workers to discuss issues with substance users.
We produce 12,000 copies that are sent to users and various drug treatment centres throughout the Netherlands. Every year Mainline also produces a special publication in English, in which a subject that is featured in the magazine is further explored. In our webshops you'll find an overview of our English editions, which you can order.
