Documents in advance
All documents must be read, signed and returned before the client moves into Nova House. This ensures that the client has received, read and understood all the necessary information and agreements.
Referral & Intake
Referrals are made through the treatment provider
Clients are referred to Nova House by their treatment provider while still in residential treatment. The treatment provider also provides all the necessary information, documentation, house rules and admission requirements, which must be read, signed and returned before moving into Nova House.
Waiting List
No waiting list and no gap between treatment and admission
Nova House does not operate a waiting list. Admission is only possible if discharge from the addiction treatment centre and admission to Nova House take place on the same day. There are no exceptions to this policy.
Discharge equals admission
Clients move directly from the addiction treatment centre to Nova House on the day they are discharged.
A bed must be available
A place at Nova House must be available on the client's discharge date.
No temporary arrangements
A temporary stay at home or elsewhere before admission to Nova House is not possible.
Accommodation Costs
Costs from the date of admission
Accommodation costs are payable from the date of admission. Care and support are funded through the Social Support Act (Wmo) by the client's home municipality.
Clients are responsible for the costs of accommodation and their basic living expenses.

Payment Schedule

Care Costs & CAK
Funding through the client's home municipality
Since mid-2021, responsibility for funding has rested with the client's home municipality. The application for a Supported Living (Beschermd Wonen) assessment is submitted by the client together with their therapist while they are still in residential treatment.
Supported Living
During residential treatment, an intake assessment is carried out to determine whether Supported Living (Beschermd Wonen) is appropriate. The client's home municipality also sets personal goals to support their recovery and progress towards independent living.
Care in Kind (ZIN) or a Personal Budget (PGB)
Care and support at Nova House are funded either through Care in Kind (Zorg in Natura – ZIN) or a Personal Budget (Persoonsgebonden Budget – PGB).
iWmo and the Social Insurance Bank (SVB)
When care is funded through ZIN, Nova House submits claims directly to the client's home municipality using the national iWmo standard. Where care is funded through a PGB, payments are made through the Social Insurance Bank (SVB).
Agreements with Municipalities
Nova House provides municipalities with the necessary information and documentation, including the referral form, terms and conditions, house rules and programme information. Agreements are also made regarding funding and other practical arrangements.
Contracts
Since 2023, Nova House has actively participated in municipal market consultations and European public procurement procedures. This has enabled many municipalities to become fully familiar with the way Nova House operates.
CAK contribution
When a client receives Wmo support, a statutory CAK contribution is payable. This is the client's own responsibility. More information is available at www.hetcak.nl.
Collaboration
Working together throughout referral and recovery
Nova House works closely with a range of organisations involved in addiction care. Clients are referred to Nova House by addiction treatment centres after completing residential treatment.
We maintain close collaboration with our partner organisations to support each client's recovery and monitor their progress.
