Substance Abuse Counselor

Are you interested and experienced in the substance use field?

The Center for Alcohol and Drug Treatment (CAS) is an interdisciplinary treatment center with its own statutory authority. We offer a wide range of treatment options within both Health Act § 141 and 142 as well as the Social Services Act § 101.

We see ourselves as a service in development and it is important that you thrive in development and changes. We are facing a relocation expected in the first half of 2027, and we are also continuously working to adjust and optimize our treatment pathways and our organization.

Organizationally, we are in a process of establishing new interdisciplinary teams. So far our treatment efforts have been organized in a health care team and two social care teams. In connection with the planned relocation, we will create two interdisciplinary teams across health and social care professionals with social workers attached to each team.

This is a major organizational change, of which you will be a part, just as you will play an active role in creating even better holistic and interdisciplinary treatment paths and interventions for our citizens. Until we have established the interdisciplinary teams, you will be part of our substance use team.

Interdisciplinarity and collaboration between health care interventions and social care interventions in CAS regarding the individual citizen and our treatment offerings are generally something we would like to become even better at. Therefore, it is important to us that you see collaboration and the use of others’ professional backgrounds as a natural part of your work.
