SPORT IN THE FIGHT AGAINST ADDICTIONS

Overcoming addictions

It is a project that aims to help people with different addictions (drugs, alcohol, gambling, etc.) to confront and overcome them.

PEOPLE SUPPORTED EACH YEAR, TRAINING EVERY WEEK AGAINST ADDICTIONS.

Sports training sessions are an essential tool in the process of recovery and social inclusion of people with addictions

This project is aimed at supporting these people, helping them to overcome their challenges through regular sports practice, which not only improves their physical health, but also their emotional and social well-being, creating solidarity groups.

Project carried out together with:

Weekly training sessions promoting mutual support

The weekly training sessions organised by the Foundation’s (Fundazioa) technicians are designed to encourage participation in sporting activities in an atmosphere of mutual support.

These sessions, held in Gordexola and Deusto, are divided into five groups, including football and multi-sports. In addition to the physical benefits, these activities help to combat loneliness, foster emotional relationships and create moments of companionship essential for recovery. The sporting experience incorporates habits and values that complement the therapies at the Gizakia centres, offering a holistic approach to combat addictions and promote a healthy and connected life.
