The system is functionally structured into primary care social services and specialised care social services; and territorially is sectored into the basic areas of social services, county sectors, regional sectors and territorial areas of Catalonia in the followings fields of activity: family, child and adolescent care; care for the disabled; care for the elderly and care for drug addicts.
