Treatment & access

About this provider

Lentis provides mental health care across the Groningen region through outpatient clinics, home-based (FACT) teams, crisis services, clinics and long-term care. It is listed by the national ENC-NL consortium as an affiliated esketamine nasal spray centre, but as of this check lentis.nl publishes no dedicated esketamine patient page; its published depression care covers cognitive behavioural therapy, pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy, with the online Steadymood programme for relapse prevention. All treatment requires a referral: patients cannot sign up themselves and should start with their GP.

Common questions

How do I get treatment at Lentis?

You need a referral for all forms of treatment; you cannot sign up with Lentis yourself. Discuss your symptoms with your GP first, who can refer you.

Does Lentis offer esketamine nasal spray?

Lentis is listed as an affiliated institution of the national ENC-NL esketamine nasal spray consortium. Its website does not publish patient information about an esketamine programme, so ask Lentis directly (088 114 00 00) or via your referrer about current availability.

How does Lentis handle medication?

Medication (usually antidepressants, antipsychotics, sleep/calming agents or mood stabilisers) is prescribed only when it fits your treatment plan, often combined with behavioural or talk therapy, is prescribed for as short a period as possible with regular review, and Lentis also supports safe tapering off.

Looking at alternatives? In the same city, UMC Groningen's Universitair Centrum Psychiatrie runs a fully documented (es)ketamine programme; GGZ Drenthe (Assen) and GGZ Friesland are nearby ENC-NL centres. See enc-nl.nl and our Netherlands country guide.
