Addiction is recognised as one of the chronic illnesses, often leading to
medical, psychological, economic, and social problems,
making multi-dimensional care for these people within the existing system a
challenge. This loads an already loaded primary and secondary care system. The Verslavingskoepel
Kempen (VKK) is an initiative to answer this challenge as it aims to integrate
the care provided by the zeroth to third-line care around addiction treatment.
Zeroth refers to the care and support provided by the human context of the
patients, such as family and peers. This extends the integrated care model that
is suggested by the WHO.The aim
of the dissertation is firstly, to identify the organizational aspects crucial for the success of the
network. The Findings show that success is confirmed by participating local
communities when highlighting the importance of the intramural connection
between their community social services and professionals, hospitals, and
experience holders. All interviewees recognize collateral and process leadership with resources
emerging from different partners and without hierarchical management. The
second aim considers whether success must be attributed to the instrumental
organizational
aspects of the collaboration or the values of the different caregivers. The
Findings show that in this network the organizational aspects and the caregivers’ values are
complementary. The third aim is to develop conclusions on the transferability
of the network model. This is confirmed; however, the governmental policy is
not accompanied by a funding system within the institutionalized remuneration and
reimbursement structure. It makes the initiative dependent on the motivation of
partner organizations to
participate financially, raises doubt about the sustainability of the
initiative, and sets conditions for
