Uddevalla's Kompassen service and Family Support Centre are starting a group for residents close to someone with alcohol, drug or gambling problems. An information meeting is on 26 August.
What happened?
The information meeting is at the Family Support Centre, Österled 2. Attending does not commit anyone to joining the group. The group is due to start on 9 September and meet for seven consecutive Wednesdays from 16:00 to 18:00.
Location
Uddevalla
Impact and significance
Relatives can face considerable strain even when the person with an addiction does not seek help. The group focuses on the relative's approach and wellbeing, but does not replace urgent care or individual treatment.
Background
Sessions use the CRAFT method and are for relatives registered as residents of Uddevalla Municipality. The group will only start if enough people register.

The information meeting is on 26 August and the planned group start is 9 September. Confirm the location, registration and whether the group has enough participants. This summary is based on the cited public source and reflects the information available when WUA reviewed it on 18 August 2026. It does not replace current instructions from the responsible authority, municipality or organiser. If dates, times, conditions or implementation have changed, the latest information on the original page takes precedence. The headline and text have been editorially rewritten to separate verifiable facts from the source's own assessments. No information outside the cited material has been used to fill gaps; readers should follow the source links for full context. WUA checked the page title, date, location, amounts and status where available, but has not verified matters that the source leaves open, such as final costs, attendance, permits or future results. Time-sensitive details were checked against the source at review, but practical decisions must always rely on the responsible organisation's current notice. WUA does not accept registrations, applications, votes, payments or personal data for the services described and cannot confirm individual eligibility.
