Corporación Con Ánimo

Corporación Con Ánimo is a residential addiction and mental health center in San Antonio del Tequendama, Colombia. Dr. Jean Paul Van Der Kuyp founded it in 2012. The facility operates as a private residential finca. It offers integrated recovery for people struggling with drug and alcohol dependencies.

Addiction Rehabilitation Protocols

The clinic uses a structured system called EL MÉTODO CON ÁNIMO™. This framework targets an 80% effectiveness rate for full rehabilitation. Treatment typically lasts six months but may extend to one year. It follows five clinical phases:

• Initial Clinical Evaluation for psychological and behavioral diagnosis
• Controlled Therapeutic Isolation to minimize consumption-related triggers
• Intensive Psychological Intervention with individual and group therapy
• Mandatory Family Work to rebuild household dynamics
• Progressive Reintegration with a structured post-discharge follow-up plan

Staff follow strict protocols to maintain emotional stability and safety. Professional monitoring and deep emotional work replace improvisation.

Psychiatry and Mental Health Services

Mental health care is central to the residential program. Specialists provide continuous psychiatric support to address addiction's root causes. The team includes medical doctors, psychiatrists, psychologists, and nurses.

Dr. Jean Paul Van Der Kuyp leads the medical team. He has focused on addiction treatment and mental health since 2007. The center has a convenio with Hospital San Antonio del Tequendama for specific clinical needs. This partnership provides professional oversight for:

• Initial medical assessments and health evaluations
• Evaluation during supervised detoxification
• Monitoring and management of abstinence syndrome

Individualized treatment plans begin only after a complete medical and psychological evaluation.

Therapeutic Environment and Facilities

The program takes place in a private ranch setting for calm and clarity. This natural environment helps patients focus on routines that support physical stability. Residents stay in individual rooms for privacy and comfort during recovery. Structured meals and occupational activities are part of the daily routine.

Supervised detoxification is available early in the recovery pathway. Therapeutic isolation protects patients from triggers during stabilization. Professional evaluation and constant monitoring continue throughout the residential stay.

International Patient Support and Family Care

International families receive confidential orientation to understand addiction as an illness. The clinic guides relatives to avoid overprotection or judgment. Family sessions are mandatory because family reconstruction is vital to long-term success. Patients receive a structured reintegration plan to support life after discharge.

All recovery services begin with a confidential orientation to assess the patient's specific needs.
