Help with addiction and trauma
Affect2U is a healthcare institution specialising in addiction and trauma. From our locations in Belgium and South Africa, we offer intensive, residential programmes for those who are stuck in substance use, behavioural addiction, or emotional pain.
Our approach combines expert guidance with a warm, human approach. This is how we create a safe environment where recovery can really begin.

Whether you are looking for a care institution for addiction in Flanders or specifically for a care institution in Antwerp, Affect2U helps without waiting times and with personal attention.
We believe that any form of addiction - such as alcohol, drugs, gaming, work or sex - is a signal of underlying pain. That is why we not only work on the behavior, but also on the causes that underlie it.
A combined approach
In our residential care facility, therapists, psychologists, doctors and experience experts work closely together. Our programs are intensive and timely, so that clients can quickly get back to grips with their lives.
We start with a thorough intake, followed by a personal treatment plan that can include individual conversations, group therapy, sports and creative sessions, mindfulness and family counseling.

After an intake conversation, we decide together what the most appropriate step is. The admission starts with a stabilisation phase (with detox if substances are involved), followed by therapeutic sessions and self-reflection. Afterwards, the programme continues with aftercare and follow-up, so that recovery holds over time.
Because Affect2U is not a public facility but a private care provider. An admission therefore falls outside the reimbursement system. In return, there is no waiting list, you stay in a small group and your programme remains confidential. Budget several thousand euros for three to four weeks.
Yes, aftercare is an important part of our approach. After a stay at our treatment centre, we provide regular follow-up, individual therapy and group sessions. That guidance helps to prevent relapse and to make recovery last.
What sets us apart is our person-centred approach and our close-knit team of experienced therapists. We do not believe in a standard programme, but in a personal care plan that pays attention to body, mind and circumstances. For many people, that is what makes Affect2U one of the best care institutions for addiction in Belgium.
Yes, Affect2U is an addiction care facility in Flanders that welcomes clients from all over Belgium. Many of our clients come from regions such as Antwerp, Limburg and East Flanders. We offer both residential programmes and outpatient follow-up, depending on what you need.
An admission to a healthcare institution in Belgium always starts with an intake interview. Together we look at which treatment best suits your situation. The length of the process depends on the nature of the addiction and your personal goals. We work discreetly, we put the person first, and everything is fully tailored to you.
