Tyrili Foundation, a non-profit organization providing addiction treatment, faces potential closure of four centers after losing contracts with Helse Sør-Øst, affecting over 90 patients and 100 employees.

The centers in Skien, Arendal, Lillehammer, and Folldal are at risk, while Tyrili retains agreements for operations in Oslo.

Helse Sør-Øst has signed new contracts with 14 private entities to enhance treatment quality, emphasizing geographic distribution and collaboration with local services.

Tyrili's leader, Jonas Finnby, expressed shock and disappointment, questioning the decision despite the foundation's high-quality scores.

The new agreements, effective January 2025, aim to maintain patient numbers and improve service quality across the region.
