Victory Village

Located in eastern Drachten, Victory Village offers treatment for substance use and process addictions from a Christian perspective, implementing a 12-Step model and evidence-based therapies. Victory Village strives to ensure their outpatient day treatment program is a good fit for clients, requiring a phone screening, medical referral, and intake interview prior to treatment. However, interviews are scheduled quickly and wait times for treatment are low once admitted. With convenient access to highways A7 and N31, Victory Village offers accessible care for residents of Friesland, Groningen, and Drenthe provinces. Victory Village is a 5 minute walk from the Drachten East Transfer point, providing accessibility for those using public transportation.

Treatment Methods

Day treatment meets all day twice per week for 12 weeks, including group therapy and several individual sessions with therapists. Victory Village combines a 12-Step Minnesota model, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and motivational interviewing (MI) in their treatment plan. Clients also walk through an 8-phase model as part of a holistic approach, focusing on the following areas of life: meaning, housing, finances, social relations, work and activity, mental health, physical health, and activities of daily living. Victory Village integrates Christian belief and practice into treatment, but clients of all faith backgrounds are welcome. Family members may be present during some of the individual treatment to unify support and help determine their role in recovery. Victory Village also provides family members with psychoeducation about their loved one’s addiction upon intake.

Aftercare

Victory Village offers aftercare, helping clients practice skills learned during treatment and transition from structured treatment to long-term recovery. Outpatient aftercare includes group therapy and individual therapy based on continuing need. As part of their 8-phase model, they provide discharge planning, including for the areas of housing, finances, social life, work, and more. Family members also receive aftercare support and are part of ongoing care.
