Our social work is based on treatment and peer-support among former addicts and their relatives. We work through our treatment centre Dagöholm and through self-help groups all over Sweden.

Alcohol and other drugs are serious obstacles for the individual as well as for society. Therefore we target our work equally toward people, substance abuse and the social environment.

The goals for our social work
We want to improve life conditions for people who are addicted to alcohol and drugs, and we do that by engaging more and more former addicts and their relatives into our work. A “Social forum” is also to be started.

Target groups for our social work
Through our work we reach:

  • Addicted people and their relatives
  • Ex addicts and their relatives
  • Other organisations that are engaged in social work


Our social work is based on networking, education and seminars. Our treatment centre Dagöholm and our folk high schools Tollare and Wendelsberg play important roles in this work. All over the country, we have different kind of peer-supporting self-help clubs for addicted people.
