Separate the care from the setting.
Ask for a clear account of the proposed treatment, the clinicians involved and the level of support outside appointments. A private residence, a small shared setting and an addiction treatment hospital are different models, not interchangeable packages.
Four practical questions
- Where will I actually stay, and who will be responsible for clinical care?
- Which assigned clinicians can work in my preferred language?
- What does the complete written quote include and exclude?
- Who will coordinate care after I return to the Netherlands?
Check payment and insurance before committing.
Do not assume that a Dutch policy covers a private overseas programme in full. Ask your insurer about eligibility, referrals and any prior authorization before admission. Zorginstituut Nederland ↗.
