Any successful business will tell you that the best advertising is word of mouth. Our eating disorder program at Alsana Treatment Centers is no exception. We’re delighted to share our new video that includes comments from satisfied clients, as well as details of the compassionate, individualized arrangements we make for each person who comes through our doors.
One client we interviewed for the video did some investigating before deciding Alsana is the place that could best suit his needs.
“I was apprehensive coming into a treatment center,” he said. “I did research and discovered that Alsana has a program that is individualized. It’s not about a diet; my program was tailored for me. What I liked best was the interdisciplinary nature of how the psychiatrists, therapists and dietitians communicated.”
Another client felt comfortable with the respect and support shown for her during treatment, particularly allowing her to make choices and giving her the freedom to explore ways of using her newly acquired life skills in the real world.
“I always had a choice in everything that I did,” she said. “I was never forced to do anything. I never had my computer taken away from me, and my phone wasn’t taken away from me. It helped me be in recovery in my life and not hidden in treatment out of my life.”
Kevin McCulloch, director of the Step Down program, which supports clients as they transition from monitored residential care to a less intensive level of care, said this kind experience is the heartbeat of Alsana’s success.
“We have a blend of autonomy and independence that allows the clients to go out into the world and practice their skills, while still providing them with structure and support to process their experiences,” he said.
This attitude, combined with the personalized therapeutic plan devised for each client, makes Alsana a place where understanding professionals address the entirety of the client, not merely abstention from destructive eating behaviors. A variety of innovative therapies, plus consultation with psychiatrists, counselors and dietitians, are integrated to lead our clients on a path to successful living.
