What Fédération Addiction does

Fédération Addiction is a French non-profit association (loi 1901) founded in 2011 and headquartered at 104 rue Oberkampf, Paris. It is the leading addictology network in France, federating approximately 850 health establishments and services, 190 associations, and more than 500 individual professionals (physicians, pharmacists, psychologists, social workers). Coverage extends to roughly 80% of French CSAPA (Care, Support and Prevention Centres in Addictology) and CAARUD (Harm Reduction Reception and Support Centres), 11 therapeutic communities, and 20% of addiction medical services. Operations run through a national coordination body and 15 regional unions spanning metropolitan France and overseas territories (Antilles-Guyane, Océan indien, etc.). Leadership includes Catherine Delorme as Présidente, Marie Öngün-Rombaldi as Directrice de la rédaction and Data Protection Officer, and Julie Douarin-Juignet on the board since 2025.

The federation's core products are professional publications and training rather than software. Its catalogue includes the Collection Repères guide series, the academic journal Addiction(s) : recherches et pratiques, and co-developed psychoeducation resources (Traum'addict program, TSPT-TUS methodological guide, Modules Psychotraumatisme et Addictions). It operates a WordPress-based website on OVH and a member/e-commerce portal at portail.federationaddiction.fr running training enrolment and a publication shop; forms run on Sendinblue. No APIs, SDKs, or proprietary technology products exist. Research and advocacy output is delivered through funded programmes such as PsychoTraumAddicto (2021-2024) and PADI (2024-2027), developed with the Centre national de ressources et de résilience (Cn2r) and CHU de Clermont-Ferrand with financial backing from the Fonds de lutte contre les addictions and MILDECA.

The business model is a hybrid of four revenue streams: recurring membership fees from individual and structural members, one-time publication sales (guides typically €5-€18, free PDFs available), fees for national training programs (Formation Unit), and project-based public grants from MILDECA, the Direction Générale de la Santé, and the Fonds de lutte contre les addictions. Distribution is direct-to-member via the website and regional unions; no third-party resellers are used. The federation holds institutional positions in French and EU drug-policy bodies, including the National Health Conference, the HAS consultative committee, the ANSM narcotics commission, and the EU Civil Society Forum on Drugs, which function as regulatory infrastructure rather than separate revenue sources.
