Abstract

Individuals with substance abuse disorders experience trouble with the return to work or finding a stable workplace. At the same time, unemployment has negative effects on substance abuse. Work-related case management programs are often used to support the return to work in individuals with substance abuse disorders. This paper describes the experiences, perceived barriers, and facilitators, and their possible relations of people participating in a 12 month case management in Germany to support the return to work and to stabilize their workplace. For this purpose n = 15 interviews with the case management participants were conducted between December 2020 and September 2021. Data analysis followed a content analysis. The category system emerged is based on both the literature and the interview data. We describe several barriers and facilitators such as work motivation, experience with the case manager, and experience with the social security system. Furthermore, possible relationships between different barriers and facilitators are described. It will further be described how facilitators, especially the case manager, can help to overcome barriers, and how this might affect the intervention outcome.
