Ringgården

What Ringgården does

Ringgården is a Danish non-profit residential addiction treatment center founded in 1972 in Middelfart, Funen, operating under KFUM's Sociale Arbejde i Danmark. It runs a 32-bed facility providing 6-12 week residential treatment for adults with alcohol, cocaine, and opioid addiction, with a particular specialization in dual-focused treatment that addresses co-occurring psychiatric conditions such as personality disorders, anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma/PTSD, and bipolar disorder. The clinical model combines cognitive addiction therapy in groups, psychoeducation, emotion regulation training, mindfulness, exercise, and yoga, supported by psychiatrists, PhD-level psychologists, social workers, and nurses, with proprietary methods including the ALF (Alcohol and Life Focusing) manual and personality-guided contact strategies.

Since 2011, Ringgården has held the status of National Competence Center for Dual-Focused Addiction Treatment under the Danish Ministry of Health, and extends beyond clinical care into a national knowledge dissemination function. The organization generates revenue through a mix of municipal funding (Health Act §141 for alcohol treatment, Service Act §101/107 for cocaine/opioid treatment), private self-pay, employer-funded treatment, health insurance reimbursement, and modest consulting, training, and publication sales. Distribution is referral-based, anchored in Danish municipalities, with aftercare group locations in Copenhagen and Aarhus extending the treatment chain beyond the Middelfart headquarters. The primary customers are Danish municipal substance abuse centers and the adults they refer, alongside self-paying private clients and municipalities engaging Ringgården for clinical assessments, supervision, hotline support, and professional education.
