Question

Are there any limits integrating home treatment and treatment in a residential setting, for example, when it comes to specific expertise?

Problem description

In the near future people will choose to deal with, for instance, an alcohol addiction at home (detox in the home situation).   Such as for other problems.  This type of expertise is usually located in a residential treatment setting and it is unclear how the expertise of a residential treatment settings can be applied in the home situation by mobile teams, and how employees of a residential settings can learn to work in the home context, etc.

Impact - effect

The mobile treatment team founds itself opposed to the psychiatric setting. Function 2 opposite function 4. The mobile team risks to get the label "non-specialist", when the network partners will continue to see function 4 as the one to rely on when it comes to specific problems.  In this way a transmural approach, where function 4 facilitates the mobile teams, is not possible

To do

To do: argue for a basic training for members of the mobile teams, and possibly for specific post-trainings, unless expertise of a residential treatment setting can be integrated by, for example, by working with reference staff (external to the mobile team) for a specific problem
