Kompassen's outpatient care is also part of the Adult and Dependency Unit, where we have gathered Kompassen's outpatient reception, the Dependency Support Team Fenix, and authority exercise in the area. This means that the entire chain is gathered under the same unit with one and the same manager. Furthermore, Kompassen is an outpatient reception with specialist competence in addiction and dependency issues and is aimed at individuals registered in Uddevalla municipality. At Kompassen, three curators work, and the task is to provide advice and support conversations to adults with their own addiction and, based on the new Social Services Act, work more preventively and be out in the community.
