FPC de Rooyse Wissel

What FPC de Rooyse Wissel does

FPC de Rooyse Wissel is a Dutch non-profit forensic psychiatric center (ANBI-status) established in 2000 and headquartered in Oostrum (Venray), Netherlands. The organization delivers the full forensic care chain — clinical TBS treatment, outpatient forensic treatment, protected and supervised living (including De Schakel for clients with mild intellectual disabilities), and vocational rehabilitation (Werken & Leren) — for individuals with serious psychiatric disorders, intellectual disabilities, or addictions who have committed criminal offenses. It operates security-level clinical facilities (FPC, FPK, FHIC, FPA, FTU), outpatient clinics in Venray, Roermond, Helmond, Maastricht, and Sittard, and residential units in Oostrum and Sittard.

The core technology comprises a sociotherapeutic milieu and clinical treatment methodology integrating schema therapy and RNR-based approaches, delivered in healing-environment architecture (new building opened December 2020). Notable technical components include the first FHIC at security level 4 in the Netherlands — a crisis intervention unit that maintains patient contact rather than separation — and an electronic monitoring ecosystem featuring GPS-tracked ankle bands, transdermal alcohol meters (SCRAM), body scan technology at entry, and a pilot smartphone app for movement compliance during TBS leave. Research output includes the proprietary "forensische scherpte" (forensic vigilance) competency framework, developed through Maartje Clercx's 2023 Radboud University PhD dissertation with 700+ forensic professionals surveyed.

The business model is government-funded across four revenue streams: TBS clinical treatment financed by the Dutch Ministry of Justice and Security (DJI/JenV) under the Wtz regime; outpatient treatment funded by health insurers under Zorgverzekeringswet; residential care funded by municipalities under Wmo and HO; and vocational programs funded through municipal SROI contracts. Go-to-market is exclusively referral-based through judicial channels (courts, OM), the Dutch Probation Service (Reclassering), GGZ institutions, and municipal social services. The organization was a subsidiary of VIGO (formerly Conrisq Groep) until the announced separation finalized in June 2026.

Core offering

FPC de Rooyse Wissel is a Dutch non-profit forensic psychiatric center that delivers the full forensic care chain: high-security inpatient TBS treatment and crisis care (Klinisch behandelen, FPK and FHIC units), outpatient forensic treatment (Ambulant behandelen), supported and protected living with forensic oversight (Wonen & Begeleiden, including De Schakel for clients with mild intellectual disabilities), and vocational rehabilitation (Werken & Leren). Patients with serious psychiatric disorders and/or intellectual disabilities who have committed criminal offenses enter care via judicial referrals and progress through graduated resocialization toward safe return to society.

Product overview

FPC de Rooyse Wissel is a forensic psychiatric center offering a comprehensive continuum of care spanning the entire forensic chain. The organization operates four main service lines: Klinisch behandelen (inpatient clinical treatment with FPK and FHIC units), Ambulant behandelen (outpatient treatment across multiple regional locations), Wonen & Begeleiden (residential and ambulatory guidance including De Schakel for clients with intellectual disabilities), and Werken & Leren (vocational rehabilitation and employment preparation). The FHIC unit is the first of its kind in the Netherlands at security level 4, emphasizing treatment through maintained contact rather than patient separation.
