The department has a well-developed outpatient care for children, young people, and their families, as well as for adults.

The Adult Unit is the municipality's addiction care. More than 20 people work within the unit. The core of the operation is the social worker group. The unit also includes a HVB home; Örtagården, outpatient care, our high-tolerance accommodation Stallgatan, and Housing First.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

Responsibilities of Treatment Assistants:

As a treatment assistant, you provide support to individuals with addiction problems. We have around-the-clock staffing with sleeping on-call. We work with CBT-based treatment methods; Relapse Prevention (according to Väckarklockan), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and CRA treatment. Some support and treatment activities take place in groups. We place great emphasis on individual social planning with tailored support to build a sustainable life even after the stay ends. Some joint activities for residents are carried out, both inside the house and outside. Sometimes Örtagården's interventions are combined with psychosocial treatment in our outpatient care; or with counseling contact in primary care or psychiatry. The individual's needs determine the length of stay, which is why follow-up of the placement is important, as well as good discharge planning.

Responsibilities of Housing Support Workers:

Practical support related to the participant's housing and daily living is also included.

Oral communication and written documentation requirements are part of the job.
