Two approaches to weight-management
MEDIAN offers two different forms of weight management treatment. From a psychosomatic perspective our programme focuses on coming to terms with individuals' weight, learning more about what affects individuals weight, as well as diet managementand exercise.
ln the context of rehabilitation and internal medicine, we focus on lifestyle changes with the aim of supporting people to lose weight. We also focus on treatment of health conditions that have arisen due to an individual's weight.
Weight management programme
The treatment concept is based on three elements:
- Psychoeducation:
Understanding what motivates our behaviour through individual and group therapy - Diet management and weight loss
- Exercise: a guided fitness programme
Weight management and addiction can be treated individually or as part of an addiction- based therapy group.
The treatment lasts about five to six weeks. Afterwards, outpatient pscyhotherapy is available as well as further after care to support recovery.
