From Addiction to Employment.
Sponsor: Oslo University Hospital
Summary
Patients with substance use disorders have low employment rates and are to a large extent on the outside of the ordinary labor market. Individual Placement and Support (IPS) is an evidence based method developed to aid persons with severe mental disorders in obtaining ordinary work. IPS has been used clinically in the addiction field, but has been subject to little research. The trial "From addiction to employment" is a randomized controlled trial to investigate the effect of an IPS intervention on employment outcome among substance use disorder patients in specialized health care treatment in Oslo, Norway. The study is conducted at the Department for Substance Use Disorder Treatment at Oslo University Hospital. The trial begins to include patients March 1st 2020 and will include for two years, until February 28th 2022.
