The purpose of this essay was a follow-up of four female drug abusers with several mental problems ten years after my initial meeting with them at Korsaröds Behandlingshem. Using a qualitative method and interviews with the women, knowledge was obtained regarding their current vital conditions and their subjective experiences of the treatment at Korsaröd. Their perspective on the ethical as well as their desired relationship with staff within social services was also accounted for. When contacted the women lived a content and drug free life in their own flats. The women stayed at Korsaröd approximately five years, and they said that without the treatment they would not be alive today. They still needed and received support from several different authorities. The women were all of the opinion that the social worker should help those who needed help, should be honest with them, and not make decisions for the clients. It was important to respect and listen to what the person who was seeking help had to say. According to the women, social workers should not judge those who have a double diagnosis. There are always hope and possibilities even for them.
