KUJALLEQ SAYS STOP
Allorfik was exceptionally open in Qaqortoq on Sunday after the alcohol ban in the Municipality of Kujalleq. No citizens showed up, and since the ban, no new citizens have approached the treatment facility. Allorfik now offers group treatment in Qaqortoq and can send therapists to towns and villages in Kujataa if the need arises.
Allorfik had Sunday extraordinarily open in Qaqortoq, after the Municipality of Kujalleq decided to introduce a temporary ban on the sale and serving of alcohol. But the offer did not bring any new inquiries.
– However, no citizens showed up. Allorfik Kujalleq recently held a similar open house event in Qaqortoq, where approx. 150 citizens, the Directorate of the Health Service replies in writing to Sermitsiaq.
According to them, since the alcohol ban, Allorfik has also not received inquiries from citizens who have not previously been in contact with the treatment facility.
However, the treatment center estimates that the lack of participation on Sunday may be connected to the fact that the offer has already been visible in the area. In recent times, Allorfik has, among other things, taught groups at Majoriaq, the College and Campus Kujalleq.
One citizen experiences support from the ban
Allorfik has also not experienced an increased need for help among relatives, young people or other groups since the alcohol ban came into force.
However, a single citizen who is already undergoing treatment has experienced that the alcohol ban supports the desire to abstain from alcohol.
– A single citizen, who is already undergoing treatment, has stated that the ban supports the person concerned’s wish for abstinence, writes the Directorate of the Health Service.
Allorfik is ready with treatment
Although there have been no new inquiries since the alcohol ban, Allorfik is ready with several options for citizens who need help.
– In addition, with a few days’ notice, a therapist can be sent for daily group treatment of 4-6 weeks’ duration to the smaller towns and settlements in the Kujataa region, if there are a minimum of 8 citizens who sign up for this intensive treatment course.
– In addition, there is the option of online interviews or, if necessary, traveling to Nuuk for a treatment stay of 4-6 weeks duration, if local treatment is not possible, writes the Directorate of the Health Service.
Citizens who want help with substance abuse problems can seek treatment through Sullissivik.gl or get help filling in a paper form from their case manager or at the village office.
Allorfik Kujalleq can also be contacted directly on phone 34 14 51.
