What We Do NOT Have
The Center provides a wide array of options for those seeking healing, recovery and renewed health. However, there are several things we specifically do not have.
Our Transitional Care Programs (and Intensive Treatment Programs) do not include:
- Challenge or ropes courses or other potentially high-risk activities for those with eating disorders. The trust and self-confidence often associated with these types of activities, we find, can be achieved through other means.
- Large animals, such as horses, as a means of helping in treatment. It is our desire to eliminate unnecessary physical risks and dangers. We believe that therapy including larger animals adds substantial cost to treatment programs and we elect to not have this extra cost for our patients.
- An artificial, rigid eating environment. Instead, we assist individuals in learning how to respond to real-life, non-institutional food settings. Real-life situations produce authentic responses, which are clinically addressed and therapeutically factored into recovery.
Please call our Admissions Team toll-free at – or fill out our Contact Form – to discuss the best level of care for you, including current program rates.
