Adapted Physical Activity at the heart of the addiction treatment pathway

Health-focused sport offers a unique complement to traditional addiction treatment and prevention strategies . It promotes the physical and mental health of individuals struggling with addiction and helps prevent relapse. It is within this context that the addiction services department and the Orne-Odon Tennis Club have established a Health-Focused Tennis agreement.
