As an interventionist and addiction counsellor, she has not only professional experience but also a personal history that inspired her to develop a unique formula for the recovery process. In this blog, we explore the extensive scope and process of the treatments, which provide support and hope, both nationally and internationally, to those struggling with addiction.<\/p>\n<p>Peggy-Sue supports clients in the Netherlands and internationally. Appointments can take place online or at an agreed location. Where appropriate treatment is required, she works with carefully selected care providers when necessary. Private options are also available for discussion with clients who value privacy and flexibility.<\/p><p>But the support extends beyond the borders of the Netherlands. Through the clinic in South Africa, Peggy-Sue Addiction Care provides an opportunity to distance yourself, both literally and figuratively, from the environment that negatively affects the recovery process.<\/p>\n<p>Undergoing addiction treatment abroad, such as in South Africa, provides a unique opportunity to escape daily triggers and distractions. The physical distance creates an environment in which clients can focus completely on the high-quality addiction treatment provided. Temporarily breaking away from friends, family and environmental factors increases the likelihood of successful recovery, giving clients the space to focus on their own wellbeing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The intake procedure<\/strong><br>Once you have found the courage to begin your journey towards recovery, the process at Peggy-Sue Addiction Care starts with a brief telephone screening. During this call, pre-intake questions are asked to gain a better understanding of your situation. You will then receive documents which must be returned together with a referral letter to begin the intake procedure. This procedure comprises three individual consultations, for example with a social worker\/lived-experience specialist, a psychologist and an addiction physician or psychiatrist.<\/p><p><strong>The treatment plan<\/strong><br>Once the authorisation request has been approved, we may begin the actual treatment. The type of care you receive depends on your situation. The initial focus may be on detoxification, after which treatment continues in the form of outpatient care, day treatment or residential treatment.<\/p><p>The treatment plan is carried out over six weeks, based on the evidence-based methodology developed by Peggy-Sue and the team.<\/p><p><strong>Aftercare<\/strong><br>After these six weeks, aftercare begins. Clients return to the Netherlands and receive 24 weeks of outpatient aftercare. In some cases, returning home is not an option. We assess this at the beginning of your treatment programme and arrange a Safehouse (supported accommodation). This provides a structured environment that supports recovery. After this period, the process will continue with interim evaluations and consultations to minimise the risk of relapse.<\/p>\n<p>Peggy-Sue&#8217;s clinic represents not only a place of healing, but also a source of empowerment for those seeking their own path to recovery. Whether through outpatient care in the Netherlands or residential treatment in South Africa, the clinic offers a comprehensive range of services using an innovative approach, guided by Peggy-Sue&#8217;s own dedication and experience. Taking the first step towards recovery with Peggy-Sue Addiction Care is not only a courageous decision, but also a journey towards a new beginning.<\/p>\n<p>Use the central intake page to submit your request. This keeps the intake process in one place and ensures that your request comes through the correct route.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-495a90c
