Jean Paul Van Der Kuyp

Jean Paul Van Der Kuyp helped turn a 2007 study trip into a structured rehabilitation-and-prevention project for drug and alcohol addiction, with the center beginning in 2009. As a specialist at the clinic, he leads Corporación Con Ánimo, a non-profit focused on rehabilitation and on prevention campaigns designed to strengthen healthy decision-making. The clinic’s approach is supported by a medical pathway through its convenio with Hospital San Antonio del Tequendama, where physicians conduct initial assessments and monitor patients during detoxification and withdrawal syndrome. At the core of the program is the clinic’s commitment to rehabilitation for people facing addiction to drugs or alcohol, alongside prevention and education efforts. Within this framework, Van Der Kuyp’s role is tied to the organization’s history and ongoing medical coordination. For patients starting their process, the first step includes medical evaluations at Hospital San Antonio del Tequendama, followed by continued monitoring during supervised detoxification. That same follow-up includes evaluation of withdrawal syndrome, supporting continuity of care during a medically sensitive phase.

For international patients, the clinic’s pathway is built around coordinated medical assessment and follow-up during detoxification and withdrawal syndrome, with Hospital San Antonio del Tequendama supporting the initial and ongoing evaluations. The clinic’s prevention work emphasizes learning to say “NO” and strengthening healthy, autonomous choices. If you’re seeking structured addiction rehabilitation with medical monitoring at the start of treatment, this clinic’s model is designed around that first phase of care.
