Nurse: Do you want to be part of Denmark's best dual diagnosis treatment?

You will become part of a staff group that has an ambitious, busy, structured and at the same time cheerful everyday life.

Welcome to ward M20

You will become part of ward M20, where we work with treatment and care of patients with a mental disorder and substance dependence. We work based on cognitive behavioral therapy, value an equal partnership with the patient, and offer a multidisciplinary approach depending on the patient’s individual needs.

The patients are voluntarily admitted and are motivated for treatment. The treatment courses last around 3 months. The patient pathway is described and recently revised. As part of the treatment, most patients are home on leave on weekends where they practice skills learned in treatment.

M20 is an integrated ward with space for 25 patients. We use minimal coercion and work intensively with de-escalation.

You will be the contact person for 3-4 patients and follow them throughout the entire admission.

”We will be the fixed anchor for the patient. We show the patient that there are people who care about them and do not look at them askance, even if the plan did not hold, or one stumbled.”

• Nurse on M20

Your daily life in the ward

You will have a varied day, where you, in addition to your nursing professional tasks, support the patients in maintaining a stable daily life with meaningful activities for them. You will, for example, assist patients with making homework for group programs, filling out relevant forms, planning weekend leave, finding strategies for substance use cessation and training alternative thoughts and actions. When you are introduced to cognitive therapy, you will also participate in group therapy programs and psychoeducation.

We actively and continually work for a good working environment and take pride in being helpful, flexible, curious and engaged. We hold ongoing staff meetings and have two annual theme days.

”We see great development while the patients are here, and it gives great joy to be part of giving the patients hope.”
