In order to protect victims of trafficking and to give them concrete assistance, a State center was created in Albania called the National Reception Center for Victims of Trafficking (NRCVT). Based on the action plan and the national strategy for the fight against trafficking of human beings 2005-2007, this center pays special attention to rehabilitation. The center offers services for three principal groups:

• Women and girls who are trafficked or risk being trafficked
• Unaccompanied children in risk of trafficking,
• Irregular migrants.

For specific needs (technical and financial assistance, training, etc.) NRCVT cooperates with other donors, such as the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), USAID and the Soros Foundation.

In addition to NRCVT, there are other specialized centers managed by non-profit organizations, which besides housing, offer various services to help the women and girls, victims of trafficking, or those who risk trafficking. These centers offer the following services: temporary housing, covering all emergency needs that the beneficiary presents, like food, clothing, psycho-social assistance (given by the qualified staff of social workers, Legal Clinic For Minors), medical assistance (offered by IOM Center, Institute of Public Health, University Hospital Center “Mother Teresa”, etc.), to legal assistance (the staff trained in legal field, legal clinic for minors, etc.), guaranteed security and protection of witnesses (Ministry of Interior, State Police), professional, rehabilitating and integrating activities, union with the family and, when it is possible, follow up of victims even when they leave the center.
