Changes GGZ Breda – Addiction Treatment & Recovery

Located in the Hoge Mosten area, Changes GGZ's Breda clinic specializes in treating drug addiction and eating disorders within a residential setting. The clinic primarily caters to clients through its day treatment programs, welcoming individuals from areas up to an hour away. For those dealing with eating disorders, the facility provides monitored living arrangements for up to one year to support a transition to healthier eating habits. The Weert clinic, approximately a 75-minute train ride from Breda, offers detoxification and residential treatment options. Clients can later transition to the Breda facility for ongoing day treatment after completing initial therapies. Clients engage in research-backed therapeutic approaches. They participate in both group sessions and one-on-one meetings with clinicians, focusing on changing negative thought patterns and building self-esteem. Additional experiential therapies such as art, music, boxing, dance, and sound therapies are integrated into the recovery process. Initially, clients attend sessions three times per week for the first 12 weeks, followed by weekly visits, where they develop strategies for sustaining long-term recovery and avoiding relapse. For those undergoing substance use treatment, Changes GGZ employs the Minnesota Model, which includes a focus on 12-Step facilitation. The facility accommodates individuals recovering from eating disorders for up to a year. The costs of care are covered by the Social Support Act, and the staff works closely with clients to guide them through registering with their local municipality for necessary services. Throughout their stay, clients receive support related to finances, housing, social skills, mental health, purpose, physical well-being, daily routines, and responsibilities. The dedicated team at this location comprises therapists, psychologists, medical professionals, nurses, social workers, and even therapy dogs. The wait time for admission is typically under two weeks, with detox clients often needing just a few days after assessment and evaluation for admission.
