Nämndemansgården, Historical architectural structure in Sjöbo Municipality, Sweden.
Nämndemansgården is a Swedish care company founded in 1987 that treats alcohol, drug and gambling addiction. Its original residential unit is in Blentarp, Skåne, and it also runs outpatient rehab centres in Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmö, Jönköping, Norrköping, Kristianstad and Umeå. Treatment combines the twelve-step programme with cognitive behavioural therapy.
Nämndemansgården was founded in 1987 by Birgitta Crafoord, who had herself undergone addiction treatment in the United States. The original treatment unit was established in Blentarp, Skåne, and the operation later expanded to residential centres and outpatient clinics across Sweden. In 2022 the company was acquired by Feelgood Svenska AB, integrating its services into work-oriented rehabilitation.
The name Nämndemansgården refers to a lay assessor's farmstead, though the business is a care company. Founded by Birgitta Crafoord in 1987 after her own treatment in the USA, it treats alcohol, drug and gambling addiction with the twelve-step programme and cognitive behavioural therapy. The original unit is in Blentarp, Skåne.
Nämndemansgården is a care company, not a visitor site: its original residential unit is in Blentarp, Skåne, with further residential units at Karmansbo outside Köping and Idagården Ungdom outside Enköping, plus outpatient rehab centres in Stockholm, Göteborg, Malmö, Jönköping, Norrköping, Kristianstad and Umeå. Treatment is arranged through municipalities, regions, employers or private individuals, so contact the company rather than turning up.
The original residential unit was opened in Blentarp in Skåne, and the company's medical unit there handles withdrawal treatment and detox support alongside the residential programme. The business was founded by Birgitta Crafoord in 1987 after she had undergone addiction treatment in the United States.
