Eating Disorders Treatment
Adolescent Growth offers the highest quality residential, partial day and intensive outpatient (IOP) programs to adolescents and their families that are suffering from an eating disorder. At Adolescent Growth our approach to treating eating disorders centers on more than just food ingested. Rather, we offer comprehensive treatment modalities that are designed to aid teenage boys and girls in breaking free of the thoughts and behaviors that are stifling them in their eating disorder.
At Adolescent Growth we understand that it is difficult for someone with an eating disorder because they are probably aware that the relationship they have with food is not typical. Moreover, they are cognizant that the dismal cycle of the distorted thoughts and behaviors and how it is spiraling more and more out of control and food, weight reduction and fear are paralyzing them. The expertise of our highly trained multidisciplinary team provides an opportunity for complete transformation. Our unique intimate 6 bed facilities, located in Southern California, provide a nurturing home like setting that is also conducive to the healing, hope and restoration received at Adolescent Growth.
