Brijder is looking for a KNMG-registered addiction physician for the Alkmaar and Den Helder locations.

Are you an addiction physician and do you want to come and work in a dynamic and innovative field? Then we are looking for you!

Brijder Alkmaar and Den Helder Ambulatory consist of teams with skilled and enthusiastic colleagues, working in the fields of: Intake & Treatment (Cure), Social Addiction Care (Care), and outreach OGGZ, which is focused on referral to care. Brijder Alkmaar and Den Helder are part of Brijder NHN (together with Hoorn), in which collaboration plays an important role.

Our treatments are short where possible and longer where necessary. This allows us to succeed in offering tailored treatment more quickly, aligned with the specific help request of the client, in close cooperation with the various disciplines within our team.

We strive to empower our clients and have a clear vision regarding this, which we would love to share with you. An example of this is that last year we transitioned from a medication clinic to desk-based dispensing. Medication is now provided in a calmer, friendlier environment, from person to person, instead of from behind a counter. This approach brings the person behind the addiction more to the fore.

• conducting conversations as a lead practitioner: together with the practitioner and client, you draw up a treatment plan that aligns with the wishes and needs of the client;
• performing diagnostics for clients and, if indicated, carrying out treatments;
• assessing the somatic and psychological consequences of substance use, dependency, and addictive behavior;
• carrying out crisis assessments, if necessary also at the client's home.
