FAQ – Frequently asked questions

Answers to help you understand how the Guépart programme works and how to get involved.

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.

Adults who:

Are in stabilisation or remission
Already receive medical care from an addiction service

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…).

Guépart also supports carers and families through:

support groups specifically for family and friends
