Changes GGZ Halsteren

About this facility

Located in the peaceful, wooded countryside, patients can solely focus on recovering from disordered eating through individual counseling, art counseling, and schema therapy. Clients meet with a psychologist, a dietitian, and a group of peers to process their beliefs and learn healthy nutrition patterns. Clients learn self-awareness and develop coping mechanisms to deal with stress in a confident manner. Common conditions that Changes addresses are anorexia, bulimia, binge-eating disorder (BED), and "other specified feeding or eating disorder"/"not otherwise described" (OSFED/NAO). For clients 15-20, Changes GGZ uses a 12-week track that includes involvement from a pediatrician. Changes GGZ uses an 8-week track for clients 21+. Clients participate in individual therapies during the day and meet with their support group in the evening. During clients' free time, Changes GGZ provides an outdoor lounge, a fitness center, and admission coaching. The staff at this location includes therapists, psychologists, nurses, a dietitian, a cook, a boxing coach, and a gardener. The wait time for admission is less than 2 weeks. Changes GGC has additional locations in the Netherlands and in South Africa for addiction treatment, so they can connect clients looking for focused care with co-occurring conditions that impact their eating disorders. This location serves clients seeking treatment primarily for an eating disorder.
