About the ActivityThe LARO clinic is part of specialist psychiatry and belongs to the Addiction Center. At LARO, substitution treatment is provided to people with opioid dependence based on the National Board of Health and Welfare's regulations and general advice on medication-assisted treatment for opioid dependence (HSLF 2016:1). The goal of LARO is to, through pharmacological treatment, psychological or psychosocial treatments, or social support, increase the opportunities for people with opioid dependence to achieve drug freedom as well as increased physical and mental health and social functioning. This takes place in interdisciplinary teams and a large part of the work involves collaboration with external actors, such as social services and the prison and probation service. At the LARO clinic, nurses, counselors, and doctors work together with the patient in focus.
