What OŚRODEK PROFILAKTYKI I TERAPII UZALEŻNIEŃ does

Ośrodek Profilaktyki i Terapii Uzależnień is a Polish sole proprietorship (jednoosobowa działalność gospodarcza) founded on September 1, 1999, by Lech Gwiaździński, providing addiction prevention and therapy services from its Bogucin headquarters with branch offices in Płock and Poznań. The organization's core offering is a catalog of 30+ named prevention programs (e.g., 'CUKIERKI', 'DEBATA', 'NOE', 'W SIECI', 'OSWOIĆ STRES', 'E...- nałogom mówię NIE!') delivered on-site at schools and municipal facilities and via online channels (Microsoft Teams, Google Classroom, Zoom) that were institutionalized after the 2020 pandemic pivot. Programs are manual, structured curricula using multimedia presentations, drama techniques, interactive workshops, and anonymous diagnostic surveys; several are listed as 'promising' in the national Prevention Program Recommendation System co-managed by Krajowe Centrum Przeciwdziałania Uzależnieniom, PARSPA, ORE, and IPiN.

The business operates three distinct revenue streams: (1) individual therapy for addiction (alcohol, drugs, behavioral addictions), codependency, and domestic violence at its offices with guaranteed discretion and anonymity, (2) contracted prevention and training programs commissioned by schools, municipal governments, and Gminne Komisje Rozwiązywania Problemów Alkoholowych across at least 10 Polish voivodeships, and (3) corporate employee wellness programs, most notably the free helpline launched March 1, 2024 for PKN ORLEN employees delivered in partnership with Centrum Medyczne MEDICA Grupa PZU, alongside a parallel program at ANWIL S.A. Pricing is non-public, individualized by quote; the ORLEN offering is explicitly free of charge. Delivery is on-site at client facilities (schools throughout Poland, vendor points of sale) and through the post-pandemic online channel.

The center employs ~20 people and reports multi-year municipal and school partnerships, with documented program reach including 7,013 students across 63 schools (IV Edition of 'Poznań Uzależniony od Profilaktyki'), 1,443 students across 14 schools (III Edition, Grunwald), and 1,370 students across 61 classes ('W Sieci'). Its proprietary field-based alcohol vendor training methodology ('Terenowa praca ze sprzedawcami') is described as unique in Poland and combines anonymous on-site surveys, direct observation, and point-of-sale micro-education. The organization markets primarily through its website (profilaktyk.info), Facebook, municipal referrals, and earned local media, with no external investors, no public listing, and no venture capital involvement.

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Krajowe Centrum Przeciwdziałania Uzależnieniom (KCPU): Polish national government agency coordinating addiction prevention policy, program evaluation, and the recommendation system in which the subject's programs are listed. Comparable as the dominant public-sector authority in the same prevention domain, though public rather than commercial.
• Państwowa Agencja Rozwiązywania Problemów Alkoholowych (PARPA): Polish state agency that co-manages the Prevention Program Recommendation System and provides training and diagnostic methodology referenced by the subject. Comparable as a national public actor in the same substance-use prevention category, but with state-agency scale and remit.
• Stowarzyszenie MONAR: Poland's largest addiction treatment and reintegration NGO network with a national footprint of therapeutic communities and outpatient clinics. Comparable as a same-country substance use treatment and prevention provider, but operating at much larger scale and across the full continuum of care including residential.

Direct peers

• Stowarzyszenie 'Remedium': Polish prevention NGO co-authoring the 'W Sieci' program with the subject. Comparable as a same-country prevention-program provider targeting cyberbullying and youth online safety, competing for the same municipal and school commissioning budgets.
• Fundacja Praesterno: Polish prevention foundation providing school- and municipality-facing addiction prevention and family services. Comparable as a same-country, same-customer-base prevention-program provider competing for Polish municipal and school commissions.
• Gdańskie Centrum Profilaktyki Uzależnień: Municipal addiction prevention center in Gdańsk that commissioned the subject's vendor-training work and operates comparable municipal alcohol-commission programming. Direct peer because of overlapping service mix (prevention, training, vendor programs) and same Polish municipal-prevention model.
• Fundacja Homo-Homini: Polish prevention foundation that issues facilitator certificates for the 'Cukierki' program delivered by the subject. Comparable as a same-country early-childhood substance-use prevention provider with overlapping school-facing programming.

Others

• Centrum Medyczne MEDICA Grupa PZU: Healthcare provider and the subject's delivery partner on the PKN ORLEN employee helpline program. Comparable as an ecosystem partner in enterprise addiction-wellness delivery rather than a direct competitor.
