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 illness and substance dependence. We work from cognitive behavioral therapy, value an equal collaboration 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 programs last around 3 months. The patient course is described and recently revised. As part of the treatment, most patients are on home leave on weekends where they practice skills learned in the 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 inpatient stay.

“We become the fixed point of contact for the patient. We show the patient that there are people who care about them and do not look at them sideways, even if the plan didn’t hold, or if they stumbled.”

• Nurse on M20

Your daily life on the ward

You will have a diverse daily life where, in addition to your nursing tasks, you support the patients in maintaining a stable daily life with meaningful activities for them. You assist, for example, the patients with homework for group programs, fill out relevant forms, plan weekend leave, find strategies for substance withdrawal, and train alternative thoughts and actions. Once you are introduced to cognitive therapy, you will also participate in group therapy programs and psychoeducation.

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

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