About this trial

Objectives: The main objective of the study is to investigate

1. How many patients will attend and complete dental care if they are offered it for free during the stay at "The department of substance abuse treatment, University Hospital North Norway (UNN) in Narvik". 2. Explore whether a parallel dental treatment in addition to the other treatment at the department has a beneficial effect on the abuse treatment, or whether it can be disruptive to offer dental treatment in combination with admission for drug rehabilitation?
