Rehabilitation in a few statements  Patient centered  Clients make their own treatment plan  Minimally 1 conversation a week  Each program has his own weekly group  Groups on indication and voluntary like Social Juridical Groups, STEPPS, relapse prevention groups.  (re)entry to work (every client works for 20 hours a week)  Reintegration to work  Coaching instead of treatment  Relapse prevention and relapse management  Every client joins a self-help group like the A.A or create their own  Multidisciplinary team ( psychiatrist, systemic therapist, psycho therapist, reintegration worker, social juridical worker, coaches)

The don'ts in attitude 1.Do not advice ( they have to choose themselves) 2.Do not judge (they have to be there own judge) 3.Don’t take over the responsibility (they can en may make mistakes)
