Aftercare
Additional support for long-term recovery
You’re ready to return to normal life, but once you’re on your own, it can be more challenging than you might expect. Old habits may resurface quickly. To help ensure you don’t fall back into these habits, you can continue to rely on online support after your treatment.
Immediately after completing your day treatment or inpatient stay, you will begin (online) aftercare. Aftercare is an important period where you apply what you’ve learned under professional guidance. It provides additional support and supervision, significantly increasing the chances of sustainable recovery.

Aftercare is intended for anyone who has completed inpatient care and is returning to normal life.

Preventing relapse
Aftercare lasts a maximum of 10 weeks and consists of weekly group sessions over the course of a day. You will also have several individual conversations. During these sessions, there is space for open input, further exploration, and application of ‘your life in recovery.’ Aftercare focuses on learning to manage triggers and pitfalls to prevent relapse. With professional guidance, we ensure that you can resume your life.
"A turning point in my life"
“My time in the clinical mental health facility in South Africa was a turning point in my life. The support from the team and fellow patients gave me the strength to face my challenges. I learned valuable skills to manage my emotions and felt hopeful again. Thanks to this experience, I can now work on my recovery with confidence.”
