Detox and Diagnostics Nurse

In nine weeks, you will guide clients from medically supported detox to diagnostics and appropriate treatment advice. With your nursing observations, you help the treatment team understand what is driving the addiction.

After the detox, you investigate together with the treatment team what else is going on. How does someone function without substances? Which complaints persist and which treatment fits those? At VADIS, you get the time to truly get to know the clients.

What will you do?
Clients stay at VADIS for nine weeks. The first two weeks focus on medically supervised detox. After that, the focus lies on diagnostics and follow-up treatment. That combination makes your work varied and substantively challenging.

You look beyond daily care and, with your observations, make an important contribution to the diagnostic process. You map out what you see and notice in clients. The practitioners use this information, together with other research data, to arrive at a diagnosis and appropriate treatment advice.

• You monitor health. You perform nursing checks and signal changes in physical and mental health.
• You observe and signal. You concretely map out what you notice in, for example, mood, memory, self-care, and contact with others. You record your findings and share them with the treatment team.
• You provide input for diagnostics and treatment. You discuss your observations with the doctor and other practitioners. They weigh this information when making a diagnosis and determining the appropriate treatment.
• You guide clients. You offer structure and safety, support them during difficult moments, and help them regain confidence in themselves.

Due to the length of stay, you get to know clients better and recognize patterns. You work with a diverse target group, from young to old, with varying requests for help. No client is the same, and every treatment plan requires new considerations.

As Yitze, a nurse at VADIS, says:

"You build a bond with clients and see more and more of the person behind the addiction. It is valuable to help someone gain more self-compassion again."

You work together with nurses, addiction physicians, psychologists, a psychiatrist, ANIOs, and group leaders. By combining observations and different perspectives, you contribute to appropriate care.
