Polo de Valongo – Valongo
About Polo de Valongo
Polo de Valongo is a public outpatient addiction treatment team of ICAD, I.P., attached to the Centro de Respostas Integradas do Porto Oriental and based at the Ermesinde health centre in the municipality of Valongo, Porto district. The team offers consultation, assessment and treatment for drug, alcohol and other dependencies free of charge on weekdays from 08:30 to 16:30.
Little is published about this polo beyond its address, phone number and hours. Its parent CRI covers Castelo de Paiva, Felgueiras, Gondomar, Lousada, Paços de Ferreira, Paredes, Penafiel and Valongo together with the Porto parishes of Bonfim and Campanhã, and keeps its head office at Praça Rainha D. Amélia in Porto. Youth consultations for the CRI are held in Porto at the IPDJ and in Campanhã rather than in Valongo. No email is published for the Ermesinde team, so a phone call to 229 735 790 is the way to ask about a first appointment, and the team can explain referral on to detox or a therapeutic community where outpatient care alone is not enough.

Polo de Valongo Alcohol and Drug Services
Polo de Valongo provides outpatient addiction treatment only: consultation, assessment and ongoing treatment for drug, alcohol and other dependencies, delivered by the Ermesinde treatment team of CRI Porto Oriental. Care is non-residential, so you or a loved one attends appointments at the health centre and returns home, with referral to public detox or a therapeutic community available where needed.
The material available for this polo does not set out specific therapies, medications, assessment tools or the substances most often treated, which is common for the public treatment teams, whose work normally combines medical, psychological, nursing and social support. Adolescents and young adults from the Porto Oriental area are directed to the CRI’s youth consultations in Porto. Ask the team directly what a first consultation involves and how long the wait is.

Where Is Polo de Valongo?
Polo de Valongo is at Travessa Dr. Egas Moniz, s/n, within the Ermesinde health centre in the Gandra area, Ermesinde, municipality of Valongo, district of Porto, postcode 4445-401. The team works from the health centre rather than from a building of its own.
The polo opens Monday to Friday from 08:30 to 16:30. No email address or online booking is published, so phone 229 735 790 to ask about a first appointment or a referral. Because the team shares a health-centre building, ask at reception where to go, and check the day’s hours before travelling.

How Much Does Treatment at Polo de Valongo Cost?

No private fee, insurance or ADSE arrangement is described for this polo.

Polo de Valongo Reviews
Online reviews of Polo de Valongo are limited, which is common for a small public treatment team working inside a health centre without a website of its own. RehabSeekers hosts reviews for this service, and anyone who has attended the Ermesinde team is invited to share their experience for others in the Valongo area.
Because the polo is one of several teams under CRI Porto Oriental, any feedback found online tends to describe the wider service rather than this site. An account of how quickly an appointment was offered, what the first consultation covered and how the team supported someone through treatment would give you or a loved one a clearer picture than the official details alone.
