Dianova Italia

What Dianova Italia does

Dianova Italia (DIANOVA COOPERATIVA SOCIALE) is an Italian non-profit social cooperative founded in 1983, operating in the country's third sector for over 40 years. The organization runs five residential Therapeutic Communities (Comunità Terapeutiche) located in Cozzo (Pavia), Garbagnate Milanese (Milan), Montefiore dell'Aso (Ascoli Piceno), Palombara Sabina (Rome), and Ortacesus (Cagliari), plus an outpatient service, Centro Diametro, in Milan. These facilities deliver individualized treatment programs for persons with substance, drug, and alcohol addiction using a biological, psychological, and social intervention model.

The organization's core product is the therapeutic community treatment program, with programs tailored to each person through detailed needs-and-resources analysis. Beyond clinical services, Dianova offers listening centers embedded in each community for initial guidance, family support, prevention activities, and increasingly, corporate/school training programs on addiction awareness. The organization also operates a Whistleblowing Channel compliant with Italian D.Lgs. 24/2023.

Dianova's revenue is derived from a mix of public healthcare contracts, individual donations, corporate partnerships, fundraising campaigns, and the Italian 5x1000 tax designation mechanism. The go-to-market is community-led: clients reach Dianova through listening centers, referral services (servizi invianti), and institutional/corporate partnerships. The organization is part of the broader Dianova International network and coordinates with related entity Fondazione Dianova on social and labor inclusion initiatives.

Broad incumbents
