”Only one in five who have an addiction are well known and offered care and treatment. Four out of five may continue with their drinking or their pills and then down the hill very close, ”said Mr Larsson to TT last year.

Gerhard Larsson want to broaden the role of primary and occupational health services, so that more people with substance abuse problems are detected at an early stage. The ’Abuse Inquiry submitted its proposal on the Swedish drug treatment and rehabilitation clinics March 27, 2011 to the Government.
