Social services in substance abuse treatment, Part 1

This is the first sub-report in a series of reports about social services in substance abuse treatment in Denmark. The series is based on a comprehensive survey carried out in the period December 2007 to May 2009.
This sub-report deals with the role of the social services in substance abuse treatment from the perspective of the voluntary organisations.
The other sub-reports cover the following areas: the perspective of users and their relatives (part 2); treatment programmes and methods (part 3); improving quality and quality standards (part 4); assessment and case work (part 5); and results of the treatment (part 6). The main conclusions from these sub-reports are pooled in the main report.
The survey was commissioned and funded by the National Board of Social Services.
