Therapeutic centers

If you are motivated to break with your addiction, you can follow clinical care at De Hoop. De Hoop's clinic consists of seven living groups and Therapeutic Center De Brug ('brug' means 'bridge'). At De Brug, clients learn to independently run a household.

Living groups
If you need 24-hour clinical care, you can go to one of De Hoop's living groups. Every living group can accommodate ten to fourteen people. There is also room for children of clients. The communal living spaces are used for group sessions, meals, recreational activities, et cetera.

De Brug
If you are able to take care of yourself, you can go to Therapeutic Center De Brug. The main difference between De Brug and the living groups is that clients at De Brug have their own accommodation and run their own households. You do not live in a group. De Brug can also accommodate children of clients.

Program
Five days a week, you work at a work experience project within De Hoop. During these five days, you can also follow vocational education (one day a week at maximum). You have individual treatment sessions with your care worker at a regular basis. The treatment offer consists of training in character formation, social and practical skills, group sessions, sports activities and theme weeks.

Treatment
The treatment within the centers consists of different levels, each with its own degree of freedom, responsibilities and independence. Treatment is made to measure your level and needs. On admission, we will set up a treatment plan together with you.

Work
Learning how to work is also an important part of treatment. You can gain work experience at several of De Hoop's departments and companies. This way, you will work on your social rehabilitation during treatment. By means of short traineeships, you can explore all the work opportunities. After that, you can apply for a work experience position.

Education
De Hoop has a study center where you can receive guidance and advice in the area of education and training. Based on your educational and work background as well as your wish for the future, we will set up a study plan with you. The companies of De Hoop are certified educational companies where you can finish the practical part of your education.

Criterions

You are referred by your general practitioner.
