Abstract: Citizens of the European Union may move be tween and reside in E U member states other than that of their nationality and are entitled to social benefits on par with nationals. These conditions apply to users of illegal drugs, who in some cases require public financial support and/or health services, including drug treat ment and rehabilitation. This paper examines the forms in which such services are made available in Berlin and reports on the experi ence of EU drug users approaching (or avoid ing) them. In the light of public health means within the EU, it is suggested that Berlin's cur rent policy of allowing access to 'outsiders' is preferable to recent trends in some other parts of the EU, such as banning 'non-locals' from using services.
