Changes GGZ Halsteren

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.
