Levels of Care

Inpatient

Many women and families are uncertain whether residential or inpatient eating disorder treatment centers make sense for their circumstances. Their licensed admissions counselors are trained to help women and families evaluate their needs. Each resident also receives coaching and reinforcement in key areas of interpersonal skills, distress tolerance and management, reality acceptance skills, and emotional regulation skills.

Partial Hospitalization Program

As a flexible option, a partial hospitalization program (PHP) is tailored for those who don't require 24-hour care. PHP treatment can include daily therapeutic sessions and services such as relapse prevention and medication management. Based on your needs, PHP treatment duration can average 90 days and require a minimum of 20 hours of commitment weekly. While a partial hospitalization program typically requires a commute, telehealth may be available. PHP treatment costs can vary but are often covered by most insurance.

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Creative Arts Therapy

Expressive therapy has been clinically proven to promote healing and recovery, in addition to providing a needed creative outlet for women during treatment, and after they return to their home environment. Their expressive therapy program includes a variety of outlets a woman can select based on her personal interests: art therapy in a historical art studio that supports painting, sculpture and other medias, dance/movement therapy, empowerment group (experiential trauma recovery), self-defense in their on-site fitness facility, outdoor recreation such as volleyball, basketball, soccer, badminton or gardening on their 43 acre campus.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy

They integrate the use of DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) skills, clinically proven to be effective in working with trauma, along with experiential therapies to help women with unresolved trauma learn to release feelings of shame, fear and anxiety in a constructive way. This awareness reassures them of their ability to make recovery-oriented choices in the future when they are confronted with reminders of trauma. The skills learned in DBT reduce a woman’s need to rely on her symptoms for self-soothing and instead provide growth-enhancing alternatives.

Eating Disorder Treatment

Nutrition strategies and meal preparation techniques are discussed during weekly family conferences over the phone. Dieticians and eating disorders specialists conduct hands-on training for families during on-campus visits. They don’t have a standard eating disorder treatment track. Timberline Knolls helps each woman with anorexia nervosa, bulimia, or another eating disorder develop the skills she will need to experience the joys of lifelong recovery. Timberline Knolls’ nutritional philosophy is to support women and recognize their efforts to heal, not to police, judge or shame them for eating disorder symptoms.

Experiential Therapy

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing

EMDR is a therapeutic modality originally developed to help process trauma. In an EMDR session, a patient is prompted to undergo eye movements that mimic those of REM sleep. This is accomplished by watching a therapist's finger move back and forth across, or following a bar of light. The goal is repetitive sets of eye movements that help the brain reprocess memory, which can significantly reduce the intensity of remembered traumatic incidents. Associated memories can heal simultaneously, leaving patients significantly calmer, more stable, and more emotionally relaxed.

Family Therapy

Timberline Knolls eating disorder treatment staff also equips a woman’s family to engage in recovery as a family during and after her residential treatment. Alcoholism and drug addiction not only affect the sufferer, but also impact parents, siblings, and her spouse and children. Family therapy focused on the entire family system may help the family to recover themselves from the devastating effects of living with addiction or alcohol abuse. Family members learn how to take care of themselves and also how best to support their loved one in her recovery.

Group Therapy

Unlike therapeutic groups run by clinical professionals, peer-led support groups can help substance abusers learn to verbalize feelings and to live free from using alcohol and drugs. Peers give each other encouragement as they share their unique stories in a non-judgmental setting, which can reduce the shame associated with addictive diseases.

Individual Therapy

IIndividual and/or group psychotherapy sessions help many women suffering with alcohol and abuse to better understand the addictive disease process and alleviate their symptoms. A certified addictions counselor (CADC), psychologist, therapist, social worker, psychiatrist, or eating disorder specialist may conduct individual and group therapy for substance abuse and addiction.

Life Skills

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

Motivational Interviewing

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.

Nicotine Replacement Therapy

Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a way of getting nicotine into the bloodstream without smoking. It uses products that supply low doses of nicotine to help people stop smoking. The goal of therapy is to cut down on cravings for nicotine and ease the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.

Nutrition Therapy

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.

Rational Behavior Therapy

Rational Behavior Therapy (RBT) is a form of cognitive behavioral therapy meant to be short-term and comprehensive. It was intended to help clients become more self-sufficent and move forward without the need for expensive, ongoing therapy. It includes an emotional self-help method called “rational self-counseling,” the purpose of which is to give clients all the skills needed to handle future emotional issues by themselves, or with significantly less professional help.

Trauma Therapy

Many of the women who come to Timberline Knolls have a history of trauma in addition to the presenting diagnostic problems of substance abuse, anorexia, bulimia, or mood disorders. TK staff is trained to be aware of the impact of trauma on a woman’s life and treatment. They are constantly mindful that each woman has a unique story that influences her emotions in very personal ways. They understand how ordinary interactions can lead to overwhelming emotional responses in women with histories of significant trauma.
