Also, the aim was to discover if the professionals think differently about this matter depending of their professional role within the organization. To discover this, the study was based on four qualitative interviews and a participating observation at a meeting with politicians and decision makers that took place in a municipality in southern Sweden. The interviews and the participating observation focused on finding out peoples’ subjective thoughts. The findings of this study seemed to be many things, among others the fact that all participants were positive to alternative treatment methods and they claimed it to be something necessary to truly help a client to recover. The holistic perspective was something all participants advocated for. The study also showed a great variety of knowledge about and attitudes towards evidence within drug abuse care. And, furthermore the study also showed that the professionals urge for evidence based methods adjusted to meet local differences concerning values and knowledge. The analysis was based on four perspectives of the theory social constructivism and a theory of power named "pastoral power". The analysis focused on how people create knowledge depending on their environment, interests of power and the social work itself. (Less)
