Drug addiction service units (SerDs)


Explanation:
Not sure about officiality, but the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction at https://www.emcdda.europa.eu/node/2624 says:

The Italian drug treatment system includes two complementary sub-systems: in 2014 there were 620 public drug addiction service units (SerDs) and 808 social-rehabilitative facilities (mainly residential or semi-residential). SerDs mainly carry out outpatient treatment, and are part of the national health system.

addiction services/units


Explanation:
Not just drug addiction:

I Servizi per le Tossicodipendenze (SerT), o Servizi per le Dipendenze patologiche (SerD), sono i servizi pubblici del Sistema Sanitario Nazionale italiano (SSN), dedicati alla cura, alla prevenzione e alla riabilitazione delle persone che hanno problemi conseguenti all'abuso ed alla dipendenza di sostanze psicoattive come droghe ***o comportamenti compulsivi come il gioco d'azzardo patologico***.

There's no reason why part of the Italian health service should have an official translation - it's not an international body like the European Union or the United Nations.
