In 1977, I worked as a child care worker at the Hűvösvölgy Foster Home for one year.

From 1984 to 1987 I served as a substitute pastor in the Reformed parish of Fasor in Budapest Városligeti. During this time I also served as the ecumenical secretary of the Mission for the Rescue of Fallen Youth. In February 1987, the Reformed Church established a Drug Therapy Home in Ráckeresztúr during my ministry.

From 1987-1989 I was a substitute pastor in the Reformed parish of Hidas, during which time I established the Zsibriki Drug Therapy Home for young addicts.

From 1989-1998 until December 31, I was the director of the Zsibriki Drug Treatment Home in the framework of the Mission of the Hungarian Reformed Church for the Rescue of the Fallen Youth.

1999 From 1 January 1999 I am again the head of the Drug Therapy Home in Ráckeresztúr of the Reformed Church of Hungary, and I am also in charge of the Drug Prevention Service, the Alcohol and Drug-Free Café, the Further Training and Family Counselling Centre in Ráckeresztúr.

International experience:

In 1984, I was on a 10-day study trip to the then GDR, where I visited church addiction treatment facilities.

In 1985, a 2-week study trip to Switzerland gave me the opportunity to see the whole range of drug addiction work there, from street work to the therapeutic community.

In 1988, as a member of a 1-week state delegation to Verona, we were able to learn about addiction care.

In 1989, in the Netherlands, we visited therapeutic communities and drug treatment centres.

In 1990, a one-day visit to an Austrian Therapeutic Community.

In 1999, a one-day visit to 2 therapeutic communities in southern Switzerland.

In 2000, a 1-week study trip to learn about the drug treatment systems in Germany and the Netherlands.

In 2002, I spent 5 weeks as a guest of the Portage Therapeutic Community in Canada, participating in the therapeutic process and in the facilities of the Outpatient, Day Hospital, Therapeutic Community, Dual Diagnosis Therapeutic Community, Juvenile Therapeutic Community, Open Jail Therapeutic Community and Therapeutic Community in Jail.

In 2007, I participated in a professional visit to Norway's most successful Drug Treatment Home in Osterbo and we signed a cooperation agreement.
