Stichting Verslavingsreclassering GGZ

What Stichting Verslavingsreclassering GGZ does

Stichting Verslavingsreclassering GGZ (SVG) is a Dutch foundation (Stichting) established under the reclassering tradition and currently traceable to a 2017 foundational yearplan. It functions as a network organization coordinating probation and rehabilitation services for criminal offenders with addiction and/or psychiatric co-morbidity through nine affiliated member institutions distributed across the Netherlands: Fivoor, Novadic-Kentron, Inforsa, Tactus, Mondriaan, VNN (Verslavingszorg Noord-Nederland), Vincent van Gogh, Emergis, and IRISzorg. Together with Reclassering Nederland and Leger des Heils Jeugdbescherming & Reclassering, SVG forms the 3RO (drie reclasseringsorganisaties), the three nationally mandated probation providers operating under statutory authority of the Dutch Ministry of Justice and Security (Ministerie van Justitie en Veiligheid). The organization is headquartered at Franz-Lisztplantsoen 200, 3533 JG Utrecht, and employs more than 800 reclasseringswerkers (probation workers) across the country.

SVG's service portfolio spans the full Dutch criminal justice chain: pre-trial advice (Advies) including recidivism risk assessment; supervision (Toezicht) of conditional releases and community sentences; community service execution (Werkstraffen) including the specialized Taakstraf met Zorg program; behavioral interventions (Gedragsinterventies) such as JI Alcohol & Geweld, JI Leefstijl 24/7, ISD interventions, and CoVa cognitive skills training; electronic monitoring via the enkelband (ankle bracelet); forensic care placements; and victim-aware and restorative justice practices. Its specialized methodologies include the Alcoholmeter (an ankle-worn sweat sensor that reads alcohol every 30 minutes), the RISC structured professional risk assessment instrument (currently the primary tool following the February 2026 suspension of the OxRec algorithmic instrument), the SCIL screening instrument for mild intellectual disability, and the Stap voor Stap reintegration methodology. The organization reports that approximately 60% (~13,000) of newly admitted Dutch detainees annually are known to the reclassering, with ~3,000 (~25%) requiring SVG-specific involvement.

SVG is entirely publicly funded; all operational expenditure is commissioned by the Dutch Ministry of Justice and Security under statutory mandate, with services delivered through court orders, pre-trial advisory requests from the Public Prosecutor (OM), and post-detention supervision mandates. There is no commercial revenue stream, no pricing model, and no customer acquisition motion. The go-to-market is institutional: courts, the OM, and the Ministry commission and oversee services; clients enter the system through legal mandate rather than choice. Governance is exercised by a board composed of representatives from the nine member institutions, currently chaired by Jeroen Gast (Fivoor) with Gerdy van Bellen (Tactus) as vice-chair, and operationally led by Director Saskia Capello. Research partnerships with Hogeschool Saxion, Hogeschool Utrecht, and Hanzehogeschool Groningen underpin evidence-based practice, with Saxion research quantifying social return at €2 per €1 invested.

Expansion highlights1 record

Direct peers

• Leger des Heils Reclassering: Third member of the Dutch 3RO federation, operated by the Salvation Army. Delivers probation services under the same statutory mandate as SVG and Reclassering Nederland, with comparable client population and Ministry of Justice funding.
• Reclassering Nederland: Sister organisation within the Dutch 3RO federation. Provides probation and reclassering services nationwide; directly comparable in mandate, funding structure (Ministry of Justice), and core product portfolio (advice, supervision, behavioural interventions).
• Novadic-Kentron: Affiliated SVG member institution delivering addiction care and reclassering services in the southern Netherlands. Directly comparable in product offering and client population, particularly in North Brabant.
• Tactus: Affiliated SVG member institution providing addiction care and reclassering services in the eastern Netherlands. Operates overlapping services (advice, supervision, behavioural interventions) and supplies governance representation to SVG's board.
• Fivoor: Affiliated SVG member institution specialised in forensic psychiatry and addiction care. Provides SVG's board chair (Jeroen Gast) and delivers forensische zorg placements intersecting SVG's mandate.

Others

• Slachtofferhulp Nederland: National Dutch victim support organisation partnered with SVG on victim-awareness practices and restorative justice. Comparable as a publicly funded criminal justice ecosystem partner rather than a direct competitor.

Broad incumbents

• National Probation Service (UK): UK public-sector probation provider supervising offenders in the community under court orders. Comparable in mandate and statutory positioning, though operates at substantially larger scale and without SVG's addiction specialisation.
• Dienst Justitiële Inrichtingen (DJI): Dutch Custodial Institutions Agency operating prisons, detention centres, and forensic care facilities. A core commissioning counterparty for SVG, broadly active in the same criminal justice chain but focused on incarceration rather than community supervision.
• Raad voor de Kinderbescherming: Dutch Child Protection Council, a Ministry of Justice agency operating adjacent to SVG in the youth and family justice chain. Comparable as a statutory public administration entity providing advice and supervision, though focused on child protection rather than adult addiction reclassering.
• Kriminalvården (Swedish Prison and Probation Service): Swedish agency responsible for prisons, probation, and forensic care. Comparable in integrating custodial and community-based supervision under a single public mandate, and relevant as a Nordic benchmark for rehabilitation-oriented models.
