Supported housing for mental health and substance abuse clients
We organise assisted housing for adults, who are mental health and substance abuse clients and need support for living independently.
Assisted housing is intended for adults who, due to mental health or substance abuse problems, need regular support for living independently or for transitioning to independent living. The content of the service and the amount of support varies according to the client's needs.
We can arrange assisted housing in your own apartment, so you do not need to move. If you move to a assisted housing unit, your service includes not only support but also housing. You will enter into a lease for the assisted housing apartment with the service provider.
The service provides guidance and support through pre-agreed home visits and meetings. Your service may include group or day activities. In assisted housing, staff have special expertise in mental health and substance abuse problems. You are usually responsible for taking your medication.
You will be provided support and guidance as needed, in the following:
- managing everyday life
- use of services outside the home
- in the use of authorities' services
- acting in social situations.
The aim of the service is to promote your functional capacity and independent everyday activities. Assisted housing is voluntary, but requires that you want to accept the service and to act in accordance with your service plan.
We will regularly assess your service needs with you.
Assisted housing is provided for a fixed period.
