Self-help

Not only for the abuser or the

depending

Within the Rikslänkarna, we help addicts

seeking help, who want to make an honest

attempt to get away from abuse through

peer support activities, talks and Community

in combination with a cognitive activity.

We also help by the work already established

members to maintain won sobriety

and freedom from drugs.

In a family where there is an addict, it is

not only the addict who is sick. The abuse

also affects wife, husband, children, other

relatives and friends.

Within Rikslänkarna, we give support and

care for abuse related. We give them opportunities

to meet, socialize and talk with

others who are or have been in the same

situation as themselves. With some training

and information about addiction and

the consequences of this and how to get

back to normal life, we can give families

help and support, on the way back to good,

decent life.

Friends, colleagues and employers are

also affected negatively by having an addict

close to them. Rikslänkarna may be

through interaction with these and with

health care, helping both the Addict as

those in his vicinity indirectly affected by

druguse.
