- Abstract
- The purpose with our essay was to examine which clients/patients get treatment for alcohol problems from either health care units or social service units. We also wanted to find out how staff in these units considers the importance of social background in the assessment of treatment.

To fulfil the purpose with our investigation and to get answers to our questions, we performed an explorative examination and applied a qualitative method in the form of a semi-structured interview with six persons. The investigation showed that clients/patients get in contact with the units by looking for treatment by themselves or by relatives and other organisations. The social background did not have any significant importance in the assessment of treatment. The social background is spread from homeless people with alcohol problems to well established people with alcohol problems in social service units. We also found that people with alcohol problems and psychological complications more often tend to seek treatment from health care units. (Less)
