Our approach
During a short and intensive treatment you will work with a team of practitioners to work on yourself. As quickly as possible. With our unique holistic and multidisciplinary approach, we treat multiple disorders in parallel. The beautiful environment helps with your recovery.
Short and intensive approach
Inpatient treatment
Our goal is for you to regain your role in society as quickly as possible. In seven or nine weeks we work on your U-turn: a turnaround in your life. You stay in our clinic for seven or nine weeks. With new insights, you will soon have enough in house to continue on the right path yourself.
To that end, we address your symptoms simultaneously, with many different treatments. From cognitive behavioral therapy to EMDR. From psychoeducation to schema therapy. And from lifestyle modification to e-health. So our approach is multidisciplinary. We also reinforce what you are good at and work on your physical fitness and socialization. This unique holistic approach, we focus on your situation. So we look not only at your diagnosis, but at you as a person.
Combinations of mental health problems
U-center: expert in comorbidity
Treating multiple psychological problems at the same time: that is our specialty. In fact, often psychological problems do not come alone, but you have several disorders that affect each other. This is called comorbidity. Depression, for example, often goes hand in hand with anxiety. And those who have an addiction often also have a mood disorder. If you treat one disorder, you keep the other and there's a good chance you'll relapse. Also, it is not always clear which mental disorder is causing your symptoms. That's why at U-center you get an all-in-one approach.

U-center has given me a wonderful toolbox of things I use on a regular basis. The foundation for my recovery was laid at U-center.

Healing environment
Stay in a comfortable clinic
U-center is not just another clinic, but located in a former hotel in the beautiful South Limburg hills. You feel right at home. In your own room you are provided with all comforts. The Feng-Shui design of the building also contributes to a pleasant stay. Our healing environment plays an important role in your treatment.
Hospitality and relaxation
Every little bit helps. That's why we also serve healthy, fresh and delicious food. In addition, you can take a relaxing dip in the pool. Or hiking and mountain biking in the beautiful Limburg hills. Or how about painting and sculpting in the creative room? All of our employees have hospitality and service at the top of their priorities. We are convinced that this hospitality plays a major role in the success of our treatment.
Prevent bigger problems
U-center: short waiting time
At U-center, we make every effort to help you quickly. The waiting time at U-center is minimal. This applies to all combinations of mental disorders we treat.
Timely help when you need it
At U-center, we understand how difficult it can be to wait for support. Especially if you have already been through a lot. That's why we work hard to keep our waiting times as short as possible. In most cases, you can expect a prompt intake, followed by a timely start to your treatment program.
U-center helps you quickly
If you have to wait longer for mental health care, you are more likely to have bigger problems. Especially if you have serious psychological symptoms. Then you withdraw yourself further and further, lose more social contacts and participate less in society. So your whole life ends up in the waiting room.
Does your question match our offer? Then we will invite you for an online assessment interview. Do we still think you have come to the right place?

Active involvement and direction
Online treatment
In every phase of treatment, e-health is an integral part of the treatment offer. One can think of online treatment modules and self-help modules, sometimes in combination with diaries, which are used in addition to regular therapies. Online contact is also e-health: video calling or being able to send messages via a secure environment. E-health contributes to active involvement and helps take control of your life.

First phase
7 or 9 weeks of clinical treatment
The clinical phase means seven or nine weeks away from your home situation and complete focus on yourself. You will be unburdened and can focus entirely on your physical and mental condition.
You learn to let go of old patterns and learn new behaviors to deal with difficult situations. All program components are aimed at discovering, becoming aware and aware of what is going on, how you can change certain behaviors and how you can cope with everyday life again. We do this through individual consultations and group therapy, among other things, in which your loved ones are also involved.
Together with your therapist, you will determine the goals you want to achieve during this course and how we will accomplish them. Soon during the clinical phase you will start working with the future development plan to prepare for coming home. You will also learn to maintain a healthy lifestyle when you return home. Learned patterns can also be continued at home. The future development plan ensures that you have a good manual for what to do during a relapse. This way you don't lose grip and stay away from old patterns. A unique and personal approach aimed at lasting change in your life.
Your day
A typical day at U-center
You start the morning with a nice hearty breakfast, after which you are ready for the first round of therapy. This can consist of a group session, an individual talk or self-activity. Afterwards, a delicious lunch will be waiting for you. In the afternoon a second round of therapy takes place. The day is divided depending on your treatment plan.
In the evening you have a choice of two delicious menus. After dinner there is time for yourself and relaxation in the form of walking in the beautiful surroundings, sports, swimming and being creative. In between, you work on your own treatment goals via modules or diaries in the online treatment environment.
Second phase
Outpatient care
After spending seven or nine weeks at U-center’s residential centre in Epen, you are ready to go home and continue your treatment as an outpatient.
Putting what you have learnt into practice
We know from experience that the period after leaving our residential centre can be difficult. More than likely, your home situation has not changed much and you need to start applying your newly acquired behaviour and use the tools you have been given at U-center. Your outpatient therapist can provide support and guidance at this time.
