Polo de Lamego – Lamego
About Polo de Lamego
Polo de Lamego is a public outpatient addiction treatment team of ICAD, I.P., belonging to the Centro de Respostas Integradas de Vila Real and working from the former dispensary building on Avenida das Acácias in Lamego, Viseu district. The team treats drug, alcohol and other dependencies free of charge on weekdays and serves the Douro Sul area.
The polo opened in December 2013 after years of requests from the municipality, which pointed to rising alcohol-related problems in the Douro Sul region, and was announced as offering medical, psychology and nursing consultations alongside social support. A youth consultation, CAJ Lamego, runs on Fridays from a separate unit on Rua D. Dinis for adolescents and young adults from Lamego, Armamar, Sernancelhe, Tarouca, Tabuaço, São João da Pesqueira, Moimenta da Beira and Penedono. Adults contact the team by phone or email to arrange a first appointment, and the team refers on to a public detox unit or a therapeutic community where outpatient care alone is not enough.

Polo de Lamego Alcohol and Drug Services
Polo de Lamego offers outpatient treatment for drug, alcohol and other dependencies, with medical consultations, psychology consultations, nursing and social support described when the service opened, plus a Friday youth consultation for eight municipalities of the Douro Sul. Care is non-residential, so you or a loved one attends appointments in Lamego and returns home.
The CAJ Lamego youth consultation is held at Rua D. Dinis, Edifício Multiusos, Loja 1, on Fridays from 09:00 to 12:00 and 13:00 to 16:15, and is booked through the polo’s phone or email. Specific therapies, medications and assessment tools are not set out in the available material, so ask the team what a first consultation involves. Where someone needs detox or a therapeutic community, the team refers into the public network rather than providing those services itself.

Polo de Lamego Reviews
Reviews of Polo de Lamego from around the web are limited, as is common for a public treatment team in a small inland city with no website of its own. RehabSeekers hosts reviews for this service, and anyone who has attended the Lamego team or the CAJ Lamego youth consultation is welcome to share their experience.
What has been written about the polo is mostly local news from its opening, when the municipality welcomed a service it had long requested. A first-hand account of how long an appointment took to arrange, what the first consultation covered and how the team supported someone over time would give you or a loved one a far better sense of the service today.
