Advanced home care (ASIH)
Advanced healthcare in the home is often an alternative to inpatient hospital. This includes contact with doctors and nurses possible around the clock.
We treat patients of all ages and offer an alternative for patients with multiple diagnoses or serious chronic diseases. Cancer patients at various stages of the disease can also receive assistance, including with symptom alleviation. The goal is to provide holistic care, addressing the patient’s physical, mental, social and existential needs, to achieve the best possible quality of life.
In connection with the advanced home care operations, we also run two care units offering specialist palliative inpatient care.
Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (BUP)
BUP provides specialist care for children and young people up to the age of 18 with mental health problems. BUP offers support and treatment for the whole family.
There are 14 local clinics within the county. There are also four intermediate care units that reinforce the care provided at the local clinics when more intensive care is needed. Children and young people with serious mental health problems such as severe depression, suicide attempts, serious eating disorders and psychosis come to the BUP clinic. The specialist units have expertise within specific fields such as sexual assault, family violence, migration-related problems, withdrawal symptoms and self-harming.
Research, education initiatives and systematic operational development are also carried out within BUP.
Dependency care
The Stockholm Center for Dependency Disorders investigates and treats at risk use and dependencey on alcohol, drugs or medications. The center has clinics in a number of municipalities and districts. We offer inpatient detoxification and highly specialized programs. Maria Ungdom offers treatment and motivation for lifestyle changes to young people under the age of 20 and their relatives.
Disability & Rehabilitation
Disability and rehabilitation provides advice, support and treatment for children, young people and adults with life long disabilities, such as learning difficulties, autism, Asperger syndrome, acquired brain injuries and mobility impairments.
Disability and rehabilitation also offers support to relatives and staff who come into contact with these children, young people and adults. The unit’s specialist services often complement support from other sources, such as the municipality or primary care. The goal of rehabilitation is that a person with disabilities should be as independent as possible and be able to take part in society. Disability &rehabilitation also includes an interpreting center, which provides sign language interpreters and speech-to-text assistance.
Eating disorders

Forensic Psychiatric Care Stockholm provides highly specialised psychiatry for patients who have been sentenced under the Swedish Forensic Psychiatric Care Act throughout Stockholm County. Our clinics have about 500 employees situated in our two locations.
Geriatrics
Geriatrics is care that specializes in the ageing process and its diseases. One reason why we are living longer is that more people can be treated in various ways despite their advancing years. This means that there is a growing need for geriatric care. Stockholm Health Care Services geriatrics is currently developing and expanding our geriatric care in Stockholm County. Our geriatric clinics investigate, treat and rehabilitate elderly and carry out memory tests and medical treatment in clinics and at homes. We also have dedicated resources for dealing with geriatric patients with specific needs.

The local emergency center can help you with suspected fractures, head injuries, larger wounds, suspected blood clots and acute allergic reactions. We offer drop-in consultations and you are welcome to visit us no matter where you live.
