Safe medical withdrawal
Withdrawal clinic for alcohol and drug addiction
At our withdrawal clinic in Belgium, we guide you through stopping with alcohol, drugs or other addictive behaviour in a safe, medically grounded way. Physical withdrawal symptoms are closely monitored, so your body can settle before we work together on the deeper underlying causes.
Alongside medical support while you come off substances, we also offer psychological and therapeutic care, so recovery does not stop the moment your body is stable. Together we build a solid foundation for lasting change.
A safe start
What happens during withdrawal?
When your body has become used to alcohol or drugs, stopping abruptly can trigger withdrawal symptoms: from restlessness and sleeplessness to, in more serious cases, genuine medical risks. That is why every programme at our withdrawal clinic starts with a thorough medical assessment, followed by a stabilisation phase in which you can safely taper off under the supervision of doctors and nursing staff.
Only once you are physically stable do we move on together to the underlying causes of your addiction. That way you build recovery on a safe foundation, instead of simply removing the symptoms.
What you can expect from our medical detox:
- Medical intake and risk assessment at the start
- Monitoring of physical withdrawal symptoms by experienced care professionals
- Gradual tapering, tailored to your situation
- A direct transition to psychological and therapeutic support after the stabilisation phase
- The option of immediate admission in Belgium, Portugal or South Africa

Which addictions call for medical withdrawal?
Not every addiction requires medical withdrawal. With behavioural addictions such as gambling or gaming, there is no physical dependence. With alcohol and certain drugs, the body can become physically dependent, which makes stopping without support risky. This medical withdrawal phase is therefore mainly central to:
- Alcohol addiction
- Drug addiction
- Dual diagnosis, when addiction goes hand in hand with other mental health difficulties
Are you dealing with another form of addiction, such as gambling, gaming or work? You are welcome at Affect2U for that too, in our rehab clinic.
