Abstract

Addiction treatment often requires medical, psychosocial and social expertise - and benefits from collaboration. The pronounced role of social authorities in evaluation and treatment is unique to the addiction field. Unified responsibility for evaluation and treatment of addiction is under consideration. Treatment of psychiatric and physical co-morbidity benefits from a unified responsibility within the hospital system.
