Invest in yourself. A new beginning starts with just one conversation.
Affect2U is a private residential treatment centre specialising in trauma, addiction, depression, burnout and anxiety. We offer care in Belgium, South Africa and Portugal.
We support people who feel stuck in patterns they can no longer manage on their own, whether this involves alcohol, drugs, medication, gambling, gaming, sex, pornography, work, emotional shutdown, or other forms of avoidance.
At Affect2U, we do not only look at the behaviour or the symptoms. We look at what lies underneath. Addiction, anxiety, depression and burnout are often signs that something deeper needs attention.
Our team offers intensive, discreet and personal care in a warm, safe environment, with no unnecessary waiting time.

What we cover:
Addiction and trauma can show up through substances, behaviours, or both. These patterns are often ways of coping with pain, stress, shame or overwhelm. At Affect2U, we help you look beneath the behaviour and begin working with what is driving it.
Alcohol rarely starts out as a problem. For many people, it begins as a way to relax, reduce stress or make social situations easier. Over time, however, drinking can begin to take up more and more space in your life.
Drug use may begin as a way to relax, escape stress, feel more confident or make social situations easier. Over time, however, use can become harder to control and begin to affect your health, relationships, work and sense of self.
A dual diagnosis involves both an addiction and another psychological vulnerability.
Gambling often starts innocently. But for some people, gambling is slowly growing into something that takes up more and more space. What is gambling addiction and what are the consequences?
Games are everywhere today. For many people, they are a way to relax, maintain social contacts or escape from stress. For some, however, gaming becomes more than just a hobby.
Sometimes addiction doesn't go alone. For some people, there is a combination of different forms of dependent behavior.
Sometimes, sexual behavior can become a way to avoid difficult feelings or regulate inner tension.
For some people, work can slowly turn into something they find difficult to distance themselves from.
