Core offering

Stichting Stap 1 operates safehouses in Hengelo, Netherlands, providing a 100% abstinent protected living environment for adults recovering from addiction. Clients reside for approximately one year while following the Minnesota Model 12-step program, receiving individual guidance, group sessions, and daytime activities through a structured five-phase program covering ten life domains. Professional HBO-educated case managers and experiential experts deliver 24/7 support, with ambulant aftercare available for up to one year post-program completion.

Product overview

Stichting Stap 1 operates as a unified rehabilitation service rather than a platform-with-modules architecture. The core offering is Beschermd Wonen (protected/safehouse living) — a 100% abstinent residential environment where clients stay for approximately one year. This core service is powered by the 12-Stappenprogramma (Minnesota Model) as the foundational methodology. Supporting services include Individuele Begeleiding (personal guidance with dedicated counselors), Groepsbegeleiding (group sessions), Dagbesteding (structured daytime activities), and Pret in Herstel (recreational outings). Aftercare is provided through Ambulante Begeleiding. All support is delivered through the 10 Leefgebieden framework covering housing, finances, mental health, social functioning, and addiction recovery.

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• IrisZorg: Major Dutch addiction care provider offering protected living, ambulatory aftercare, and recovery support across multiple regions. Closely comparable to Stichting Stap 1 in service mix, with a substantially larger footprint and broader clinical capabilities.
• GGNet: Regional mental health and addiction care provider operating in the same Twente/Achterhoek geography as Stichting Stap 1. Offers clinical addiction treatment and supported housing, and is one of the most likely institutional referrers and direct competitors for the same municipal WMO-funded clients.
• HVO-Querido: Amsterdam-based organization providing Beschermd Wonen, housing support, and addiction recovery services to vulnerable adults. Directly comparable operating model to Stichting Stap 1's protected-living concept, though serving a broader population including homelessness.
• Leger des Heils: The Dutch arm of the Salvation Army operates Beschermd Wonen facilities and addiction recovery programs, including sober living houses for people transitioning out of clinical care — a structurally similar model to Stichting Stap 1, but at significantly larger national scale.

Broad incumbents

• Novadic-Kentron: Major regional addiction care organization in the Netherlands providing clinical treatment, prevention, and supported living. Comparable in mission to Stichting Stap 1 but operates at significantly greater scale with a clinical-care emphasis.
• Tactus Verslavingszorg: One of the largest Dutch addiction care providers, offering clinical treatment, residential programs, and Beschermd Wonen across multiple regions. Overlaps with Stichting Stap 1 in residential addiction recovery but is a much larger, more clinically oriented organization.
• Brijder Verslavingszorg: Addiction care division of Parnassia Groep, serving the western Netherlands with clinical treatment, prevention, and recovery housing. Comparable in care philosophy but operates as a regional clinical provider rather than a small non-clinical foundation.
• Jellinek (Arkin): Largest specialized addiction care provider in the Netherlands, operating under the Arkin umbrella. Offers the full continuum from clinical treatment to outpatient aftercare; a relevant broad incumbent for benchmarking scale, methodology, and municipal relationships.

Regional players

• VNN (Verslavingszorg Noord Nederland): Addiction care provider focused on the northern Dutch provinces, offering clinical treatment and recovery support. Comparable service portfolio to Stichting Stap 1 but operating in a non-overlapping geography, making it more of a regional reference than a direct competitor.
• De Regenboog Groep: Amsterdam-based organization providing harm reduction, day programs, and supported housing for people with addiction and related vulnerabilities. Thematically adjacent to Stichting Stap 1's recovery focus, but concentrated in a single metropolitan area and oriented around harm reduction rather than abstinence-based protected living.
