==Basta spreads its wings== [[Image:Basta Väst.jpg|500px|right]]Basta’s example has now inspired a second group, across the country near the port city of Göteborg, to set up a similar enterprise. It came about as the answer to a heartfelt need. Thomas Fröberg ran his own taxi company till he lapsed into drug abuse. He managed to get himself off drugs without the support of the social services – but he had lost his business and family. He heard about Basta in Stockholm, felt that he would like to create something similar, and got in touch. For two years he worked with Basta to start ‘Basta-Väst’. During this time he took a group of policy-makers from Göteborg on a study visit to Basta: they were so impressed that they undertook to support a new ‘Basta-Väst’ for its first three years. It is now recognised by the social services departments in western Sweden, who recommend it to drug users wanting to reform. The new social enterprise is housed in a yellow-painted 100-year-old farmhouse in the middle of the woods at Tubbekulla, in the municipality of Fristad, some 80 kilometres inland from Göteborg. It has now been running for two years and is already economically self-sufficient. Sixteen people, all ex-drug users, are working within the company, mainly in building trades. Its main source of income is public works contracts with municipalities in western Sweden, which it bids for, and wins, in open competition. The co-operative is also bidding for long-term construction contracts and for maintenance jobs in parks and other green areas in the municipalities.
