Project Manager for the Co-Morbidity Reform

Region Västerbotten works to ensure that good health and sustainable development strengthen each other. We take responsibility for equitable welfare and ensure that research and innovation yield results.

The Co-Morbidity Reform aims to improve care and support for individuals with harmful use or dependence combined with another psychiatric diagnosis. The reform clarifies the division of responsibilities between healthcare and social services. Regions will be responsible for integrated care and treatment, while social services will continue to provide support in daily life, such as housing and employment. Additionally, the legislation on compulsory care will change. The goal of the reform is to create more coordinated, needs-based, and person-centered interventions, so that every patient is reached and receives the support they need. The first parts of the reform are expected to be in place by early 2027.
