I wish I could give zero stars. Today is April 16th. I was admitted on April 9th after being told I was approved for 100 days. Today I was told it was a mistake and insurance isn't paying. It's Friday and they said they would be discharging me on Monday. I have no one to pic ...
About Center for Change

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.

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.
Latest Reviews
I am so grateful for the Center for Change. I came in with very little awareness of my binge eating disorder. I was able to get the support I needed in residential treatment including regular meals support, various therapies, and safety support. The therapists are well educated and very kind. The dietician’s are amazing at helping with various types of eating disorders. The care techs are great at support during times of distress and very loving.
The only feedback I have that prevents me from giving 5 stars include the cleanliness of the facility. It seems CFC has been recently acquired and the budgets have changed. It would be nice if there was more regular deep cleaning of the facilities. I also would say that there needs to be more consistency of treatment rules on the units. It gets confusing of what is and is not allowed especially when new rules are added regularly. I did feel like there are plenty of ways to give feedback during your stay though and genuine interest in continuing to hear clients suggestions and considerations of what can be altered. It just takes some time for implementation.

Though I had struggles going through this program, I am forever grateful for them. Especially Dr. Nicole Hawkins. Her words are something I think about on the daily. Because of her I feel confident to not fall back into my struggles. This program also did a fantastic job on educating families and friends.

While no treatment facility is perfect, CFC really stands out because of their caring staff. They work really hard to provide individualized care and offer some valuable groups. Ali is a super skilled clinician and leader, Taralyn is hands down the BEST NP I’ve ever worked with and i would consider an expert in this field, and Ginger is truly an extraordinary, talented, knowledgeable care tech who makes people around her feel nurtured and safe.

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
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.
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 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 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.
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 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.
