Cannabis addiction Treatment in Corporación Con Ánimo

About the clinic

Cannabis addiction treatment at Corporación Con Ánimo is offered at a residential center in San Antonio del Tequendama, Colombia, about 30 minutes from Bogotá. Its five-phase EL MÉTODO CON ÁNIMO™ combines supervised detox, therapy, family work, and follow-up.

Jean Paul Van Der Kuyp, the center’s director general and founder, has over 15 years of experience in addiction treatment and mental health. He completed the Jellinek and PIR programs at the Hazelden Foundation and trained in the Shoemaker treatment model.

Assessment and diagnosis

Initial assessment helps determine the person’s clinical needs, dependence level, and risk factors. Medical assessments and detox are arranged through the center’s agreement with Hospital San Antonio del Tequendama.

Confidential orientation. An initial discussion introduces the treatment process.
Clinical evaluation. Psychological and behavioral needs are assessed.
Psychiatric evaluation. This checks for mental health needs linked to treatment.
Dependence and risk assessment. The team reviews the level of dependence and related risks.

Treatment options

Supervised detoxification. Medical staff monitor withdrawal symptoms and the patient’s physical condition. The process includes medical evaluation, sauna sessions, vitamin and mineral supplements, and a balanced diet.
EL MÉTODO CON ÁNIMO™ residential program. The stay lasts at least 6 months and may extend to 1 year. Its five phases include evaluation, controlled therapeutic isolation, individual and group therapy, mandatory family work, and gradual reintegration with follow-up.
Hazelden Minnesota 12-step program. A structured curriculum includes 12+ sessions on substance use, triggers, cravings, relapse prevention, stress, emotions, and communication. Staff training is certified by NIDA and NAADAC.
Psychological and psychiatric care. Individual therapy and clinical follow-up address emotional needs, related disorders, and relapse prevention.
Family support. Relatives receive education about addiction, communication guidance, emotional support, and help setting boundaries. Family work is mandatory, with a dedicated family house at the center since 2016.
Aftercare and reintegration. Follow-up supports social and family reintegration, identifies early risk signs, and reinforces relapse-prevention tools.

The program takes place at a private finca with individual rooms, designed to reduce exposure to consumption triggers. The center reports an 80% full-recovery target for drug addiction, including cannabis; this is not a guaranteed outcome. Patients and families can request a consultation through Bookimed.

Corporación Con Ánimo: more details about the clinic

Colombia, Colombia

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.

This Finca was our last destination of our trip through the country. We were welcomed very friendly and found everything as expected. The view is beautiful the house clean and tidy. In the evening one can hear the nature around the finca. A great destination to relaxe and review all the experiences we made - recommanded also at a campfire. ;-)

It was unique, with great facilities, excellent service, spacious green areas, and games for children and adults. This allows families to disconnect from their cell phones and connect with each other. I highly recommend it. Come and have a great time! WHAT MORE, as its name says.
