The study is a follow-up study of close relatives (> 16 years) of patients in treatment for SUDs who participated in a group-based 4-day psychoeducational program. The investigators will examine whether the family intervention in the specialized treatment services has benefits in terms of typical patient reported outcomes; physical complaints, psychological functioning, family functioning and QoL. The data collection has been finalized in 2017.
