Helhetlige tjenestetilbud i en liten kommune
One of the three municipalities that participated in the ROPIT project was a relatively small one. In this chapter, we take a closer look at how the distinctive features of a small municipality can affect how services are provided to persons with dual diagnoses. It seems as though the work is characterized by collaboration between service providers and service recipients as well as a flexible and pragmatic approach within the services, but such flexibility is not explicit in the relation between the municipality’s other services. However, this is not a unique situation for small municipalities. There is reason to believe that larger municipalities do not necessarily provide better services for persons with dual diagnoses. Yet how they choose to organize their services according to given goals and priorities in order to achieve coordinated services will vary.
