Connection Sggz

What Connection Sggz does

Connection SGGZ (legal name: Connection SGGZ Verslavingszorg) is a privately held Dutch specialist mental healthcare provider (Specialist Geestelijke Gezondheidszorg / SGGZ) focused on addiction treatment for adults aged 18 and over. The organization operates five clinic locations: the Eindhoven headquarters and intake site, an outpatient day-treatment clinic in Utrecht, a residential inpatient clinic at Landgoed Kortenbos in Meerlo, and a remote residential clinic in Cape Town, South Africa. Its service portfolio covers intake assessment, medically supervised detox, outpatient day treatment (2-3 days per week), poliklinische treatment, clinical admission of approximately 6-10 weeks, family involvement sessions, and structured aftercare (nazorg). A core differentiator is integrated dual-diagnosis treatment for addiction combined with co-occurring psychiatric conditions such as ADHD, trauma, autism, anxiety, depression, and personality disorders, delivered under the organization's LEDD-netwerk (Landelijk Expertisecentrum Dubbele Diagnose) membership.

The underlying clinical platform is built around a multidisciplinary team of 150+ specialists and ervaringsdeskundigen (lived-experience experts), under medical director Bastiaan Meyers, supported by psychologists, addiction physicians (verslavingsartsen), psychiatric nurses, and quality staff. The offering is delivered across a care continuum from outpatient to residential, with a CACN partnership providing approximately 10 weeks of structured aftercare as a step-down from residential care. Quality and regulatory scaffolding includes WTZa operating vergunning, HKZ certification, AGB code 22221058, GGZ accreditation, and a Kwaliteitsstatuut under the Wkkgz, together with full AVG/GDPR compliance.

The business model is reimbursement-driven: all treatments are covered under the Dutch basiszorgverzekering with no patient co-payment for clinical care, while private out-of-pocket payments apply to comfort charges and travel costs for the South Africa location, and a private payment option (particuliere verslavingszorg) is also offered. Go-to-market is sales-led, with acquisition driven by paid digital channels (Google Ads, Microsoft Advertising, Meta, X, Pinterest), content marketing (educational blog and self-tests), referrals from GPs and psychiatrists, and direct response via a phone line (040-303 5023) and contact form, with short waiting times and personalized intake emphasized as conversion levers. Scale metrics cited include 1500+ individuals treated annually and an 8.5/10 client satisfaction rating on ZorgkaartNederland.
