A Unique Philosophy of Care.
Our virtual and in-person adolescent program integrates a Family-Based Treatment (FBT)-informed approach with Alsana’s established Recovery Story structure, creating a comprehensive and inclusive framework for recovery. FBT, widely recognized as one of the most effective approaches for adolescent eating disorder treatment, emphasizes the critical role of families in the recovery process. This approach shifts the focus from blame to empowerment, recognizing caregivers as invaluable allies in their loved one’s healing journey.
Through our unique philosophy of care, parents, guardians, and caregivers are equipped with practical tools and guidance to actively support their adolescent’s recovery, particularly in areas such as meal support, emotional regulation, and relapse prevention. By including caregivers in the treatment process, our approach empowers families to take an active role in their adolescent’s recovery, providing structure and support that strengthens family connections and promotes long-term healing.
While families are a vital part of the process, our program also prioritizes the adolescent’s autonomy and individual therapeutic needs. Adolescents will receive intensive, one-on-one therapy tailored to their unique challenges and goals, allowing them to form a meaningful relationship with their treatment team. Our dual focus ensures that both the individual and their family system are given the tools that sustain recovery.
