Children of addicted parents

It is possible for you to take your child(ren) with you when you are admitted to De Hoop's clinical care. When you apply for treatment, intake officers will go through every possibility with you. For example, your children can live with you while you take care of them yourself.

The living groups as well as Therapeutic Centre De Brug can accommodate parents and their children. Two hours a week, you can follow a parental course, in which you will deal with the basic principles of parenting and you will be able to share experiences with other parents.

Care
We will make arrangements with you about the care and accommodation for your children. During the day, children can go to Bambino children's day care center. Children from the age of four go to primary school and can go to Bambino after school.

Parents
Because you can be admitted with your child(ren), you get the chance to work on restoring the relationship with your child(ren) during treatment. Please note, however, that treatment is primarily aimed at the parents instead of the children. When your children are admitted with you, you are expected to learn how to take care of them and to take responsibility for them. Naturally, you will receive guidance and advice in this.

Co-admitting children of addicted parents is not subsidized by the Dutch government. In order to be able to maintain this project, therefore, De Hoop depends on financial support. For more information, please contact Friends of De Hoop Foundation: info@vriendenvandehoop.nl or
