De Hoop's front door: intake

If you wish to follow treatment or counseling at De Hoop, you need to call the central intake office: +31 (0)78 6111 222. The central intake office is located in De Hoop's outpatients' clinic. You also need to do this when you have been referred to De Hoop by another institution. Every client comes through De Hoop's outpatients' clinic. In other words, the outpatient's clinic is De Hoop's front door.

When you contact the central intake office, you need to have the following data at hand:
  • The policy number of your health insurance
  • Your tax and social insurance number (sofinummer)
  • The name and address of your general practitioner


During the first phone conversation, you will make an appointment for an intake session. This session and all subsequent sessions during the intake procedure will also take place at De Hoop's outpatients' clinic.

Becoming acquainted
During the first intake session, you and staff members of De Hoop become acquainted. Together, you will determine which treatment is best suited for you. Further sessions could help you to receive more information about the admission procedure. The intake procedure can also include a psychological and/or psychiatric examination.

Waiting list
You could be placed at De Hoop's waiting list before being admitted. This means that you could have to wait for several weeks to months before you can actually follow treatment or counseling at De Hoop. Throughout the period between intake and admission, clients on the waiting list will receive support by means of monthly waiting list meetings.
