1. What is Guépart?

Guépart is a non-profit association supporting people in remission from addiction through an innovative therapeutic programme.
What makes it different? A therapeutic journey abroad, away from everyday routines, integrated into a structured cycle of pre- and post-trip workshops, supported by healthcare professionals specialising in addiction.

6. Is there a charge for the programme?

Costs and funding arrangements vary by programme cycle. GUÉPART seeks support to make cycles accessible and, in parallel, develops participant-funded cycles charged at actual cost with private partner organisations.
Contact us to find out about the options.

2. Who is the GUÉPART programme for?

Adults who:

  • Are in stabilisation or remission

  • Already receive medical care from an addiction service

  • Have completed withdrawal treatment

  • Can commit for 4 to 5 months

7. Do you offer support to people who are not taking part in the programme?

Yes. Guépart offers:

  • free support groups in Créteil, open to everyone affected by addiction

  • A referral to partner care services

3. Where does the programme take place?

The workshops before and after the journey take place with the partner organisation. The cycle includes a 15-day therapeutic journey abroad, in remote cultural settings (e.g. Mongolia, Nepal…).

8. What about family and friends of people living with addiction?

Guépart also supports carers and families through:

  • support groups specifically for family and friends

  • psychoeducation days

  • post-trip sharing evenings, open to family and friends

4. What does the therapeutic journey involve?

Full immersion in a radically different environment, designed to create a break from familiar routines and help you reconnect with yourself.
An addiction medicine specialist, psychologist, specialist support worker and GUÉPART member provide safe, appropriate care.

5. How are participants selected?
  • Referral by your medical team, working with the partner organisation

  • A motivation interview with GUÉPART
