Urgent Response Activated: Services in Action
In the regions of Beilngries, Dietfurt, Riedenburg, Eichstätt, Kipfenberg, and Kösching, residents and visitors can find a range of emergency numbers, mental health services, and self-help groups to support them in times of crisis.
For immediate emergencies such as police intervention, fires, or life-threatening medical situations, dial 110 for the police, 112 for the Fire Department and Emergency Medical Services, and 116117 for the Medical On-Call Service. These numbers are free and work throughout Germany or Europe, respectively [1].
For those experiencing psychological crises, including issues arising from substance abuse, the free and confidential crisis hotline 0800 / 655 3000 (Krisendienste Bayern) offers qualified counseling and support [2]. This service is available to people in Bavaria and their relatives.
If you are in need of ongoing support for alcohol, drug, or medication problems, the Self-Help Group, affiliated with Blue Cross Local Association Eichstätt/Kipfenberg/Kösching, provides assistance [2]. Their phone number is (0151) 25 39 70 63. It's important to note that the Self-Help Group is not an emergency number like 110, 112, or 116 117, nor is it an emergency pharmacy service like Mariahilf Apotheke.
Mariahilf Apotheke, located in Altmannstein, Riedenburger Straße 6, provides emergency pharmacy service for the regions of Beilngries, Dietfurt, and Riedenburg [3]. Their phone number is (09446) 10 41, which is different from the Self-Help Group's phone number.
For those seeking local self-help groups specific to alcohol, drug, or medication problems, it is best to contact the local psychiatric or addiction counseling centers in the Eichstätt district or inquire via the Krisendienste Bayern network to find groups operating near Beilngries, Dietfurt, Riedenburg, Kipfenberg, and Kösching [2][1].
In addition to the Self-Help Group and Mariahilf Apotheke, the organization HfpK e.V. provides information on mental health and crisis support, and can guide to relevant resources depending on the situation [1]. Victim support groups such as the Weisser Ring also offer assistance to affected persons, though their focus is broader and not specifically on addiction [3].
