About Center for Change

Located in the heart of Orem, Utah, the Center for Change is more than just an eating disorder treatment center. It’s a place where individuals find hope, healing and a path forward. Specializing in the treatment of anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating disorder, the Center for Change also provides comprehensive support for those facing co-occurring mental health challenges and substance use disorders.

Recognizing the deep connections between disordered eating and addiction, the Center for Change takes a holistic multidisciplinary approach to help patients rebuild both their bodies and their lives.

Treating the Whole Person

Center for Change offers residential treatment, partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programs. This ensures that every individual receives the level of care that best supports their needs. Upon admission, each patient undergoes a comprehensive evaluation, including medical, psychiatric and nutritional assessment to craft a treatment plan that’s tailored to their unique situation. With a team of licensed therapists, dietitians, psychiatrists, nurses and therapists, each patient gets care that’s personalized to their full needs.

A Place for Healing in Orem, Utah

A critical part of the healing process at Center for Change is structured supervised meals and nutritional counseling. Many people who have eating disorders experience a lot of fear and anxiety around food. The Center for Change has a large team of registered dietitians to work closely alongside patients to help rebuild balanced relationships with eating. There are also self-esteem workshops, body image support and 12-step recovery groups to help with your recovery efforts.

Beyond the clinical setting, Center for Change emphasizes mind-body healing through experiential therapies like yoga, movement therapy and art therapy. Access to these therapies provide alternative ways for patients to process emotions and reconnect with themselves. Those who struggle with substance abuse alongside their eating disorder receive additional support through specialized relapse prevention groups and individualized addiction counseling.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

inpatient iconInpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care

At certain points in the recovery process, it's important to have support available 24/7. 24-hour clinical care offers a safe environment in which to recover from drug or alcohol addiction in peace, knowing medical detox and other treatment will happen with professionals on hand.

intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

outpatient iconOutpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program

A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term form of intensive rehab, usually for those with acute symptoms that are hard to manage but don’t require 24-hour care. PHPs have structured programming (i.e. individual and/or group therapy), and usually meet 3-5 days a week for around 6 hours (i.e. 9am-3m). Some PHPs are residential (patients sleep on site) and some are not, so patients sleep at home. PHPs can last from 1-6 months, and some offer transportation and meals.

Treatments

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Programs

young-adult-program thumbnail image

Young Adult Program

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

Eating disorders include anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and dysfunctional eating patterns. Many psychologists and other mental health professionals consider eating disorders to be food addictions, meaning food is being used in an addictive way (similar to drug or alcohol addiction). Certain substance abuse treatment programs will have treatment for eating disorders as one of the services offered. An eating disorder may also present as a co-occuring disorder or dual diagnosis alongside drug and alcohol addiction.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

i can’t express how grateful i am for this place and the gifted people that assisted me in my recovery :) after struggling with restrictive anorexia for eight years, it has been such a blessing to have my life back. to be honest i was pretty hesitant coming in at first, thinking that this was just like any other mental health facility where they keep eyes on you but don’t do much to assist with lasting healing. SO NOT TRUE. i’ve never felt more seen and cared for in my life!! the staff learned who i was quickly and would use their spare moments to talk to me whenever i was having a hard time. most of them have had to recover from their own eating disorder, which makes them that much more passionate and understanding of what the patients are going through. the many groups and individual sessions were vital in rewiring and reframing my thought patterns. i will say you’ll get out of the program what you put in to it. if you genuinely want relief from your ed and go in with a willingness trust the process, you will get better. it’ll be painful and immensely difficult at times, but i promise it’s worth the effort. intentionally do the assignments and hard work needed to heal. i am being entirely truthful when i say i’m alive now because of the help i received here🩷 i definitely hit the jackpot with my treatment team as well!! maxlin (therapist), kara (dietitian), taralyn (nurse practitioner), and melissa (psychiatrist) were the best group of people i could’ve possibly imagined to be in charge of my treatment. here are some other well deserved staff shoutouts!! nurses: chloe, jen, and jayne care techs: evie, essie, ginger, irene, emily, and christy rec therapists: tessa and leah music teacher: lynette rest assured you’ll be in good hands☺️

I was admitted to Center for Change (CFC) in Orem, Utah when I was 15 years old. I am now 17 turning 18 next month, and more than a year has passed since I left. Despite the time that has gone by, the pain and trauma I carry from my time there still haunt me. I had another nightmare about CFC just last night. These dreams are frequent and vivid, and they speak to just how deeply this place affected me. If you are considering this center for your child or loved one, I beg you to think again. My time at CFC felt like a slow erosion of my spirit. Days blurred together. We were hardly ever allowed outside, and inside, we were offered little to no meaningful activities. Most days, people slept just to pass the time. There was little stimulation, and very few coping tools available. Card games were one of the only sources of mild distraction—certainly not enough to help someone navigate the emotional weight of recovery. Support from staff and therapists was minimal. I often felt invisible, like no one saw me as a human being. I remember feeling like I was losing my autonomy, my voice, and my hope. I would cry, beg to be let out, and no one really listened. Being “in trouble” meant potentially losing your already limited contact with family and friends, which only deepened the feeling of isolation. What scared me the most were the freakouts—moments where I felt like I had reached my breaking point. The environment left me feeling like I was on the edge of sanity. And the few small “rewards” we were offered—only accessible by leveling up through a rigid behavioral system—felt like crumbs. For someone who thrives on creativity, freedom, or even the simple joy of being outdoors, CFC is suffocating. If you struggle with boredom, stagnancy, or need a sense of adventure and life to stay mentally afloat, this place can crush you. One particularly alarming incident stands out: a razor was found left in another patient’s room. That should never have happened in a place that claims to prioritize safety and healing. CFC didn’t give me the tools I needed to get better. It gave me trauma. It made me feel less human. And while I survived, I still carry the damage. I wish I had been placed anywhere else. This review is not written out of spite. It’s written from pain and the hope that it might save someone else from going through the same experience. No kid should ever feel like they’re losing their will to live in a place that’s supposed to help them heal. Please, do your research. Listen to the voices of former patients. Sometimes what looks like treatment is actually just a deeper wound. — A Former Patient

The Center for Change truly changed my life—but I won’t pretend it was easy. In fact, treatment is one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. There were rules, structure, and accountability that felt overwhelming at times—but I now understand they were exactly what I needed to start healing. The staff was firm when necessary, but always kind, compassionate, and incredibly knowledgeable. They created a safe environment where I could be vulnerable even on my worst days. The therapy, meal support, and sense of community helped me face things I never thought I could. I’ve seen some reviews mention punishments or consequences during treatment. From my perspective—both as a former patient and now as an employee—I can say with confidence that nothing is done to be harsh or mean. Everything is structured to support recovery, not control or punish. The goal is always to help separate the individual from their eating disorder, even when that means holding difficult boundaries. It’s done with care, intention, and a deep understanding of what true healing takes. Now, as someone who works here, I have the unique privilege of seeing this life-changing care from both sides. I can personally vouch for the integrity and dedication of the team. It’s not just a job for anyone here—it’s a mission, and that heart is felt in everything we do. The Center for Change continues to be a place of hope and transformation, and I’m honored to be a part of it.

CFC turned my life around. It has been a year and a half since I discharged and my entire life has improved. I never readmitted. I never had a major relapse. When I went through major surgery and was at risk of relapsing they gave me outpatient short term support. They helped me find my path. They gave me hope for the future again. I had had multiple suicide attempts in the months leading up to admitting to CFC. Since discharging, I can genuinely say I am happy and glad I'm alive. I am not in therapy anymore. I have my psychiatrist and my regular doctor I visit occasionally for medical needs, but mostly I just live life. I go hiking, I have picnics, I wear dresses, I go swimming, I started dating again and found my long-term girlfriend, and I don't care what my body looks like. I am genuinely happy to be alive. Thank you Center for Change. You truly changed my life.

staff was kind for the most part but i feel like it was definitely more directed towards anorexia which was frustrating for a lot of people. also staff only applies certain rules to certain people and others were often rewarded for bad behavior. there were girls exercising (in a "sneaky" way) in the common room who staff ignored and a girl who caused so much chaos they basically just gave her phone back at any minor inconvenience. most of the staff was really great tho. in the end if you are there to work on yourself, you can get a lot out of it but if not, it can be really triggering and unhelpful.
