Choose mental health care of GGZ Noord-en Midden-Limburg

Everyone gets ill sometimes. When we talk about ‘being ill’, we usually mean some physical complaint. The flu, a broken leg or abdominal pain. These forms of illness are generally accepted and easy to talk about. It is a different thing when you’re dealing with (serious) mental or psychiatric problems. These problems are often concealed. We are unfamiliar with those problems and feel society would rather not be confronted .Yet mental or psychiatric problems occur frequently. About one person out of every four will be dealing with those problems during their lifetime.

There are many forms of mental or psychiatric problems. Fortunately, nowadays many of these forms can be treated. Treatment can consist of therapies, medication, (group) discussions, training, and/or a certain - often more structured way of life.
Examples of problems are: depression, manic-depressive disorder, compulsive disorder, panic disorder and phobias, eating disorder, borderline personality disorder and schizophrenia.

GGZ Noord-en Midden-Limburg (GGZ NML)

GGZ NML has divided its care over a number of divisions. The broad package of care within these divisions can take several forms.

Basic points are:

• Treatment is as ‘light’ and short termed as possible so the client will not unnecessarily become dependent on professional care.
• Treatment can be offered individually, with partner, with family members, or in groups.
• Treatment or supervision is preferably offered in the vicinity of the client’s social environment.
• We work with care programs. A care program is specifically focused on certain problem area treatments.
• Research, diagnosis and indication always precede treatment.
• We offer our facilities ambulatory, in part-time and clinically.
• Different forms can be used together and complement each other. The main question is: what is needed at which moment?

Specialistic forms of care

GGZ NML offers several forms of specialistic care, both regionally and beyond. It deals with ambulant as well as clinical care. Specialistic care focuses on a specific target group or disorder. Specialistic care isn’t included in the basic package of ambulant and clinical mental health care.
We offer care, specifically focused on adolescents within the centre of adolescent psychiatry and seniors. GGZ NML also offers an anxiety and compulsive disorder centre, a neuropsychiatry centre, psychotherapy Venlo, addiction care centre Paschalis (clinic for addiction care) and the Korsakov clinic, the Forensic Psychiatry centre and the Autism and AD (H)D centre.
GGZ NML’s ambition for the future is to develop expertise and knowledge of care directed at special target groups.
