About us
“The psycho-social care provided in the therapeutic community “La Tempesta” is understood as the reconstruction and reclaiming of a difficult personal history and of a possible future that takes it into account. Recovering from drug addiction, through a community-based psychotherapeutic and educational experience, means being—and becoming—oneself.
A necessary premise is self-knowledge: starting from who one is today, exploring who one was yesterday, and imagining who one might become tomorrow, with the aim of enabling individuals to plan their own destiny as adults.”
Citation. Prof. Luigi Cancrini
