Knowledgeable therapists, dietitian, and staff who understand how complex eating disorders are. They are willing to learn and actually get to know you! The staff are all very passionate about what they do which reflects in the care they give you. I wouldn’t let the negative reviews stray you away from going here

I was surprised to see so many negative reviews. my daughter just completed 4 months there and I can say her experience was not only pleasant but successful as well. they treated my daughter with respect and never said anything negative to her. if I thought for one minute that they were not doing anything to help her or if anything dodgy was going on I would have pulled her out immediately. the addition of family night was a great idea because it gives the families a chance to see what their loved one does at program. I also liked the fact that they kept all of her doctors in the loop. megan sajel ava jamilla cara and sam all went above and beyond for my daughter and i would highly recommend this program.

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

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.

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.

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.

Treatments

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Programs

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

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

Creativity is inherently healing, and can help those in recovery express thoughts or feelings they might not otherwise be able to. Creative arts therapy can include music, poetry/writing, painting, sculpting, dance, theater, sandplay, and more. Unlike traditional art, the final product matters far less than the experience of creation and expression itself.

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.

Recreational therapy (aka therapeutic recreation) uses creative and fun activities to help with addiction recovery. Recreational therapists lead patients in entertaining and engaging activities like sports or games; art (drawing, painting, sculpture); drama, music, and dance; and/or community outings (field trips) to improve patients' physical, social, and emotional well-being.

I mean it was fine: I don’t love the idea of going if u are under 18, I went when I was 15-16 and it was full of people who were 7-15 years older than me, and I felt really alone. I guess it’s a luck of the draw thing, because you cannot control how old your patients are or what time they come into treatment. That being said- the treatment portion wasn’t helpful, I was coming from a residential program, and they essentially mimicked that. Groups where you learn nothing, private sessions with therapists/dietitians, (therapist Cara was helpful and I could tell she liked her job, same as one of the dietitians I forgot her name but she has smooth black hair and sometimes glasses.) and meals you almost always make/pick yourself. The food options were pretty horrendous, especially for breakfast and especially considering you can’t really cook anything if you want to. It’s more of like a cereal/yogurt/frozen waffle type deal- that being said, I’m terrified of yogurt, so the 15 girls eating a healthy yogurt breakfast daily really grossed me out and pushed me farther away from recovery. I’m not saying that CFD will help no one, but I think people with children under 18 /are still dependent on them should look into doing family-based therapy instead. It’s a lot better and you don’t have to go to a program, it’s family-based so you are primarily at home with your family who helps you with recovery. I think CFD is good in theory, but not in practice, and it could benefit greatly from a significant re-vamp.

Sometimes while talking to some of the staff it felt like talking to a wall. Sometimes when I would talk about how they would give me too much food or how I felt uncomfortable they would deny it or tell me that I was wrong. Sometimes they would even say "I don't care" which kinda hurt me. They were also weren't the best at providing what me and others needed. Kinda like they were more following the "rules" rather then helping. I do say though that the therapist were really nice and helpful.
