Clients participate in individual or group therapy sessions in one of our outpatient clinics. A therapy may include a course, training or structured conversations within a therapeutic setting.

Daytime Therapy
Two or three days a week clients participate in various therapy, training and activity programs. Afterwards they return to their own abodes, wherever they may reside at that moment.
