One Size Fits All? : - Addiction counsellors work with clients with intellectual disabilities (English)
Abstract [sv]

Individanpassat missbruksarbete är grundläggande inom svensk missbruk- och beroendevård. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur missbrukshandläggare inom socialtjänsten arbetar med personer som har intellektuell funktionsnedsättning i kombination med alkoholmissbruk. Sex kvalitativa intervjuer genomfördes med missbrukshandläggare inom socialtjänsten. Intervjuerna analyserades genom en tematisk analys. Studien visade att missbrukshandläggare upplever arbetet med målgruppen som svårt och utmanande då de inte har stöd i de nationella riktlinjerna samt att bedömningsinstrument och insatser inte är anpassade för denna målgrupp. Bristerna gör att missbrukshandläggares egna erfarenheter samt individuella kunskaper om målgruppen avgör hur utformade insatserna blir för den enskilde klienten. Resultatet har diskuterats i relation till tidigare forskning, systemteori och stigmateorin. Studien indikerar att det finns behov av ytterligare forskning kring denna målgrupp.

Abstract [en]

Individualized addiction work is fundamental in Swedish addiction treatment. The purpose of the study was to investigate how addiction counsellors in the social services work with people with intellectual disabilities in combination with alcohol abuse. Six qualitative interviews were conducted with addiction counsellors in the social service. The interviews were analysed through a thematic analysis. The study showed that addiction counsellors experience working with the target group as difficult and challenging as they don´t have support in the national guidelines and that assessment instruments and interventions are not adapted for this target group. The shortcomings mean that addiction counsellors own experiences as well as individual knowledge of the target group determine how the interventions are designed for the individual client. The results have been discussed in relation to previous research, system theory and stigma theory. The study indicates that there is a need for further research on this target group.
