Interdisciplinary co‐operation is relevant both at a community level and within a multidisciplinary team specializing in the treatment of drug‐related problems. Examples of co‐operation between a community drug advisory service with hospitals, the legal system, professional disciplines, government and community agencies are described. The problems of burnout within a team and the importance of role flexibility, training in alcohol and drug‐related problems, role support from colleagues, clinical supervision and organization support as remedies to burnout are also discussed.
