EuroNPUD recognises the different contexts, cultures, and legal environments surrounding drug use in Europe.

This impacts on traditions and histories of drug user organising in each country. Drug user organising can either be a fully autonomous process run by independent drug user self-organisations or it can be part of a peer work or community development process with a harm reduction or drug treatment provider. 

There are currently three different levels of engagement from drug user activists and organisations with EuroNPUD. 8 countries have a national drug user network whose member groups are local drug user groups. 13 have one or more drug user organisations that may be self-organisations or peer projects. 5 countries have drug user activists who are working to advocate for people who use drugs and/or develop drug user groups in their countries.
