Outpatient concept of assisted living designed for people suffering from addictions and mental disorders in Herne -
Support for an independent life in your own flat

There are many different and individual ways of getting out of an addiction or of dealing with a mental illness. Therefore we offer you a large variety of different possibilities:

• Support when looking for a new flat (flats for single persons, couples, living groups or families)

• Support when dealing with local authorities, avoidance of delinquency
• Support in debt settlement and negotiations with creditors
• Support when establishing financial security
• Promoting greatest possible independence from care and support

The goal of our outpatient concept of assisted living is to help you reach maximum life satisfaction and this way provide you with the basis for an independent, autonomous and self-determined life in your own flat. 

In general these support services are free of charge for you. However, you might be asked to pay partly for the health care costs if you have assets or a high income. To this end the advisory teams working at ASB info-points will assist you and your relatives at any time in all issues concerning health care cost reimbursements. We are happy to assist and inform you! 

Network With Strong Partners- Interconnected Ideas, Focused Help

We are closely cooperating in the area of the city Herne with all providers offering aid for addicts as well as the Association of Psychiatry, by encouraging, accompanying and supporting processes or assuming coordination tasks. When necessary we can also help you to arrange further help. Moreover, the outpatient concept of assisted living is integrated in the social-therapeutic service network of the ASB Regional Confederation Herne-Gelsenkirchen e.V. This gives you the possibility to make use of the wide range of offers provided by the Arbeiter-Samariter-Bund in the field of sports, creativity, culture, education, occupation and life couching. 

Chance to work - education – occupation: We offer you perspectives 

As an experienced service provider in the field of rehabilitation support, we know very well how important it is to have a professional perspective in order to lead a happy and satisfactory life. We help you find appropriate support and professional retraining measures for you, the right school-leaving qualifications and vocational training places, taking into account your individual illness and your respective ability to work. Additionally, we offer the possibility to take part in an occupational programme facilitating a daily structure in our socio-therapeutic residential home, especially for those who are at present unable to have a steady job.  

Leisure activities - a part of everyday life which is often underestimated 

Our range of services is topped off by group offers as well as a large variety of social and leisure activities. It is often a learning process to recognize the significance of planning and structuring one’s leisure time, especially when it comes to maintaining a stable state of health. But precisely these service offers are apt to counteract further isolation and thus create the possibility to try out new and alternative ways of living.
