Treatment Provider at Sollentuna Addiction Reception

The Social Office in Sollentuna is a leading social service in terms of development and innovation.

We work to develop a knowledge-based social service where follow-up and quality issues are in focus. Monitoring the external environment, collaboration, user participation, and development are prioritized areas. Approximately 230 people work at the social office.

The administration is divided into four departments: the adult department, the children and youth department, the support and development department, and FoU Nordväst. The adult department has six units, one of which is the Addiction Reception.

The Sollentuna Addiction Reception is a co-located reception with Region Stockholm. Here, unit managers, group leaders, treatment providers, and treatment assistants work closely with medical staff from the Addiction Center and Maria Youth. The reception serves residents of the municipality who have problems with alcohol, drugs, and/or gambling. The reception also offers support to relatives and those who want to leave a criminal lifestyle. We work based on assignments from social workers and in an open service area where we offer up to 10 assessment and motivational conversations without a support decision.
