Affect2U

From their cosy location in Vosselaar, Affect2U offers a residential programme for addiction and mental health that helps clients take back control of their power and go from survival to truly living. With a fast intake process and intentionally small groups, clients begin receiving the emotional attention and safety they need for sustainable recovery from substance use, process addictions, and underlying trauma. Treatment is available in both English and Dutch.

Build a Foundation for Recovery in 28 Days

Affect2U’s 28-day programme helps clients stabilise and begin recovery, often starting with detox to support physical withdrawal. Clients explore root causes and build skills in communication, relapse prevention, and emotional regulation. Care draws on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), and trauma-focused approaches, delivered through small groups, weekly one-to-one sessions, and family involvement, equipping clients with practical tools, relational safety, and momentum that carries into everyday life.

Heal on a Charming Domain

While easily accessible from larger cities, Affect2U’s centre in Vosselaar is remote and discreet. The elegant, 3-storey home accommodates 13 clients with shared bedrooms and nutritious, chef-prepared meals. Clients can relax with streaming TV services, guided yoga sessions, walks in the nearby forest or by the lake, or time with the on-site therapy dog, donkey, or Shetland pony. Clients decide together on weekend outings, whether bowling or visiting a cultural festival.

Smoothly Transition from Treatment to Daily Life

Affect2U customises a discharge plan with each client to guide their transition from residential treatment to living independently. For clients living abroad, the aftercare package can include remote individual, family, and/or group sessions at an hourly rate. For clients living in Antwerp or South Africa, Affect2U also offers in-person outpatient services that focus on applying tools gained in residential treatment.
