What RESPADD does

RESPADD (Réseau de Prévention des Addictions) is a French non-profit association (association loi 1901) headquartered in Villejuif, in the southern suburbs of Paris, that federates more than 600 healthcare facilities including hospitals, clinics, maisons de santé, and medico-social establishments. Founded in 1996 by AP-HP and MNH following the Evin Law (1991), it originally operated as 'Réseau Hôpital Sans Tabac' focused on tobacco cessation, and progressively expanded to cover all addictive practices and, since 2017, broader health promotion in healthcare settings.

The organization's core offering is a portfolio of certified programs (Lieu de santé sans tabac, École de santé sans tabac, Lieu de santé promoteur de santé, Consultation alcool post-urgence), evidence-based training modules (RPIB early intervention, motivational interviewing), specialized publications (La Lettre du RESPADD quarterly journal, Agir Addictions biannual bulletin, thematic newsletters, and a publications catalog), and the annual Rencontres du RESPADD professional conference. Rather than a technology product, RESPADD's value is built on accumulated content, methodology, certification frameworks, and a community-of-practice network of member facilities supported by regional delegates.

RESPADD's business model is based on recurring annual membership fees paid by healthcare facilities, which grants access to publications, training materials, events, methodological support, and the ability to order printed resources. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and the organization invites facilities to join through an adhesion process. With 1-10 employees, RESPADD operates as a lean membership association, supplemented by institutional partnerships with major French healthcare and addictionology bodies, including the Fédération française d'addictologie, Société francophone de tabacologie, and OFDT, with revenue concentrated in a single country (France) and no disclosed geographic expansion beyond it.
