Counselling centres are facilities that provide services especially to problematic drug users. To achieve the highest possible effectiveness it is necessary to include also social surroundings (parents, partners or school) of the problematic drug user into the overall treatment. The fundamental prerequisite of existence of these centres is their accessibility without booking in advance and without waiting times for everyone who needs to deal with his or her emergency situation immediately. That is why these centres are called mentally and socially barrier-free, so called low-threshold facilities. I have chosen the qualitative method to conduct the research. As a technique for data gathering I selected secondary data analysis and semi-structured interviews with drug users who visit counselling centres. For the research I used data from annual reports from counselling centres in Písek and České Budějovice. The results of my research could be useful for workers in helping professions, for workers dealing with the issue of illegal drug abuse, to improve the effectiveness of services in the counselling centres or as groundwork for further research or training.
