Codependency Treatment in Corporación Con Ánimo
About the clinic
Corporación Con Ánimo provides residential care for codependency at Finca Pa’ Qué Más in San Antonio del Tequendama, Colombia, 30 minutes from Bogotá. Its program combines the Hazelden Minnesota 12-step model with required family work. Founder and director general Jean Paul Van Der Kuyp has over 15 years of experience in addiction treatment and mental health.
Assessment and psychiatric follow-up
Care starts with a medical and psychological evaluation. A partnership with Hospital San Antonio del Tequendama supports medical and psychiatric assessment. Psychiatric follow-up is also available during treatment.
Five-phase residential program
The residential protocol includes ongoing individual and group therapy, family sessions, and structured 12-step work. Therapy explores emotional and behavioral causes, addresses associated disorders, and supports relapse prevention.
- Hazelden Minnesota 12-step program: Structured group sessions focus on emotional stability, rebuilding habits, and taking responsibility.
- Family orientation and support: Guided sessions help relatives understand addiction, avoid overprotection and judgment, and set healthy limits.
- Required family intervention: Phase 4 rebuilds family dynamics through sessions integrated into the five-phase residential protocol.
- Codependency reading: Guided books include Codependent No More and The Language of Letting Go by Melody Beattie, Is It Love or Is It Addiction? by Brenda Schaeffer, and A Woman’s Way Through the Twelve Steps by Stephanie Covington.
- Aftercare and reintegration: Post-discharge support focuses on risk signals, healthy habits, and social and family reintegration.
Family participation and residential setting
Family involvement is built into the treatment plan, with a lodging house on site for relatives. The private finca has individual rooms, a gym, sports courts, a pool, gardens, and a lake.
Van Der Kuyp trained in the Shoemaker/Hazelden Minnesota model and participated in the Jellinek and PIR programs. He is certified by NIDA and NAADAC.

Corporación Con Ánimo: more details about the clinic
Corporación Con Ánimo is a residential addiction and mental health center in San Antonio del Tequendama, Colombia. Dr. Jean Paul Van Der Kuyp founded it in 2012. The facility operates as a private residential finca. It offers integrated recovery for people struggling with drug and alcohol dependencies.
Addiction Rehabilitation Protocols
The clinic uses a structured system called EL MÉTODO CON ÁNIMO™. This framework targets an 80% effectiveness rate for full rehabilitation. Treatment typically lasts six months but may extend to one year. It follows five clinical phases:
- Initial Clinical Evaluation for psychological and behavioral diagnosis
- Controlled Therapeutic Isolation to minimize consumption-related triggers
- Intensive Psychological Intervention with individual and group therapy
- Mandatory Family Work to rebuild household dynamics
- Progressive Reintegration with a structured post-discharge follow-up plan
Staff follow strict protocols to maintain emotional stability and safety. Professional monitoring and deep emotional work replace improvisation.
Psychiatry and Mental Health Services
Mental health care is central to the residential program. Specialists provide continuous psychiatric support to address addiction's root causes. The team includes medical doctors, psychiatrists, psychologists, and nurses.
Dr. Jean Paul Van Der Kuyp leads the medical team. He has focused on addiction treatment and mental health since 2007. The center has a convenio with Hospital San Antonio del Tequendama for specific clinical needs. This partnership provides professional oversight for:
- Initial medical assessments and health evaluations
- Evaluation during supervised detoxification
- Monitoring and management of abstinence syndrome
Individualized treatment plans begin only after a complete medical and psychological evaluation.
Therapeutic Environment and Facilities
The program takes place in a private ranch setting for calm and clarity. This natural environment helps patients focus on routines that support physical stability. Residents stay in individual rooms for privacy and comfort during recovery. Structured meals and occupational activities are part of the daily routine.
Supervised detoxification is available early in the recovery pathway. Therapeutic isolation protects patients from triggers during stabilization. Professional evaluation and constant monitoring continue throughout the residential stay.
International Patient Support and Family Care
International families receive confidential orientation to understand addiction as an illness. The clinic guides relatives to avoid overprotection or judgment. Family sessions are mandatory because family reconstruction is vital to long-term success. Patients receive a structured reintegration plan to support life after discharge.
All recovery services begin with a confidential orientation to assess the patient's specific needs.
