About Polo de Peniche
Polo de Peniche is a public outpatient addiction treatment team of ICAD, I.P., belonging to the Centro de Respostas Integradas do Oeste and based on Rua General Humberto Delgado in Peniche, Leiria district. The team offers free consultations for dependence on alcohol and illicit drugs such as heroin and cocaine, and for behavioural addictions including gambling and problematic internet use.
Opening four weekdays with a Tuesday evening public session, the polo sees adolescents and young adults within the adult service rather than in a separate youth clinic, with the head of the CRI’s prevention team as the named contact. Community intervention sits alongside the consultations, as it does at the CRI’s other polos in Caldas da Rainha and Torres Vedras. The parent CRI do Oeste has a partnership with the Psychiatry and Mental Health Department of ULS do Oeste that gives its patients access to psychiatry consultations. Its territory runs from Alcobaça and Nazaré down through Óbidos, Lourinhã and Torres Vedras to Mafra and Sobral de Monte Agraço. Contact is by phone or email, and the team refers on to public detox or a therapeutic community where outpatient care alone is not enough.

Polo de Peniche Alcohol and Drug Services
Polo de Peniche provides outpatient consultation and treatment for alcohol dependence, illicit drugs such as heroin and cocaine, and behavioural addictions including gambling and problematic internet use, with community intervention alongside. Care is non-residential, so you or a loved one attends appointments in Peniche and returns home, with referral to a public detox unit or therapeutic community where needed.
Adolescents and young adults are seen within the adult service, so no separate youth clinic exists at this site. Through the parent CRI do Oeste, patients can be referred for psychiatry consultations under its partnership with ULS do Oeste. Specific therapies, medications and assessment tools are not set out in the available material, which is usual for the public treatment teams, whose care normally combines medical, psychological, nursing and social support. Ask the team what a first consultation involves.

Polo de Peniche Reviews
Reviews of Polo de Peniche from around the web are limited, which is typical of a public treatment team working beside a health centre without a website of its own. RehabSeekers hosts reviews for this service, and anyone who has attended the Peniche team, including through the Tuesday evening session, is welcome to share their experience.
Regional press has covered the parent CRI do Oeste and its psychiatry partnership, but little first-hand feedback about the Peniche polo itself exists online. An account of how quickly an appointment came through, what the first consultation covered and how the team supported someone through treatment would help you or a loved one judge whether to make contact.
I want to give a very special compliment to Dr. Patrícia Teixeira Pinto, who assisted me at the Peniche Health Center in Marés. ❤️ I had a truly wonderful experience! Excellent service, marked by kindness, humanity,… attention, and the caring way she treats her patients. It's so good to find healthcare professionals who, in addition to competence, know how to welcome, listen, and transmit confidence and tranquility. Dr. Patrícia is, without a doubt, the best experience I've had in medical care to date. 🩺🌷 Thank you so much, Dr. Patrícia, for practicing your profession with such humanity and kindness! May you never lack the recognition you deserve. The world needs more professionals like you! ❤️👏
I live in northern Portugal and was on holiday in Peniche. I hit my head on a rusty object. I hadn't had a tetanus shot in 10 years. I went without an appointment on a weekday and managed to get the tetanus and… diphtheria vaccine in a single injection, free of charge, in 20 minutes. The staff who attended to me (the security guard at the entrance, the lady at reception, the nurse who administered the vaccine) were all very polite and attentive. Thank you very much to everyone.
They state one set of operating hours, but when you arrive at the location it's completely different from what's on the website, and the lack of courtesy in answering a simple question is excellent for state employees.
Such a shame this place. I had been denied several times the BASIC medical assistant and on top of that, never had assigned a family doctor. The ladies "working" in this center don't even know their own name. Shame on… you, many people don't even have a job and people with zero competences stay with a stable job and don't even know the most important rules. For example SNS24 confirmed to me that the center has to give an alternative if doesn't have other doctors instead, I just received hundreds NO. I will do all in my power to denounce this place
I went to the emergency room several times with severe pain. On my last visit, I happened to be seen by Dr. Manel Correia. Instead of valuing my history and complaints, he said the pain was "all in my head" and… suggested I have a psychiatric evaluation. I felt disrespected and uncomforted at a time when I was seeking serious medical help. An emergency room doctor should listen to the patient and try to alleviate, not downplay, the symptoms.
I already have a user number, my two children have them too, and we haven't been able to get an appointment. I need to get an appointment for a women's health and prevention consultation. They were supposed to call me.… I've been waiting for months.
Very efficient and professional.
They're asking people to call the 24-hour health hotline here in Peniche, but it's out of service; we could die.
They force us to pay NISS every month and they don't even answer the phone. Nothing different from any other disservice provided by the government. Thank you, communists! 👏👏👏👏
Centro de Saúde com boas dimensões, sempre limpo, e pessoal altamente educado e bem treinado para tratarem e atenderem eficientemente os utentes.
Nao atendi o telefone,para uma simples questao tem que deslocar ate o centro de saude! Um absurdo
Eu acho bem desorganizado pelos que trabalham porque nem telefone eles atendem a pessoa e obrigada a se deslocar - se até o posto para conseguir informações acho muito falta de profissionalismo e empatia. Pra quer ter… telefone se não utilizado para atender e informar utentes. Enfim oque acho. A respeito dos médico e enfermeiras acho profissionais e bom no que fazem dispostos a ajudar e a prestarem informações como devem ser.
É um centro de saúde nada mais 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hoje necessitei de fazer uma chamada para o centro de saúde, após algumas tentativas falhadas desisti, entendo que quem quem lá está a trabalhar tenha outras coisas para fazer mas como contribuinte tenho de reclamar,… pois se existe um telefone para contatar porque não está lá ninguem que o queira atender. Solução ou põem lá uma pessoa competente que faça o serviço de atendimento ou desistam do telefone pois já não é a primeira vez que acontece.
