Abstract

The NIK-Ambulanz in Bremen is the first German solution focused model project in outpatient addiction treatment to be financed by the insurances. The Bremen therapeutic concept is based on solution focused assumptions and techniques and the Bruges Model's approach in alcohol-addiction treatment aiming to restore the clients' ability to choose and allowing controlled drinking as a possible goal. The Bremen concept fits the German insurances recent development to favour shorter therapies, outpatient treatment and to make treatment programs more attractive in order to reach more people with alcohol problems. The article includes a case example of a client who chose controlled drinking and first results of the project.
