Basic program

De Hoop's basic program has a duration of eight weeks. The program is suitable for men and women aged 18 and over that have substance abuse problems. Treatment consists of 24-hour care. After finishing the basic program, clients move on to an in-depth treatment program at one of our clinics.

Please note that the basic program is an integral part of a clinical treatment program. The basic program cannot be followed separately. Admission to just our basic program is therefore impossible.

Aim
The basic program's aim is breaking with addiction. During the basic program, clients will follow therapy and participate in training sessions. They will also be advised on further treatment and social and/or vocational rehabilitation.
