We serve young people up to the age of 21 who have questions or concerns regarding alcohol, drugs, or gambling. At the clinic, social workers, social pedagogues, nurses, doctors, and psychologists work together in interdisciplinary teams with the goal of providing qualified support, counseling, and treatment to both young people and their relatives. Our main clinic is located in central Borås, and we are also easily accessible through several satellite clinics in surrounding municipalities, allowing us to meet young people and families where it suits them best.
