Treatment center makes 15-day refresher program available again for clients who are struggling with eating disorders during the holiday season.
BIRMINGHAM, AL (11/2/2011) - The holidays can be an especially challenging season, especially for individuals struggling with or recovering from an eating disorder. In response to requests from their clients, Magnolia Creek Treatment Center for Eating Disorders is pleased to once again offer its "Holiday Refresh" program. This one of a kind, 15-day partial-hospitalization program is designed to help keep clients on the path toward recovery while causing minimal disturbance to their work or school schedules.
Specifically designed for clients simply in need of additional structure or assistance during the holiday season, "Holiday Refresh" participants receive a spectrum of support. Treatment can include but is not limited to: comprehensive nutritional guidance and meal planning, life-skills coaching, one-on-one individual therapy with licensed therapists, and tips for coping upon return to work, school or home following the holiday season.
“The holidays and end-of-year bring a lot of added challenges in terms of food and family relationships, and many people can get off track,” explains Dr. Nicole Siegfried, Magnolia Creek's Clinical Director. “We offered this program last year, and it was very helpful for many clients, especially some of our alumnae, who just needed a ‘tune up'.”
Magnolia Creek's "Holiday Refresh" program is not recommended for clients needing long-term treatment or care for their eating disorder, but simply a reboot or re-energized approach to their recovery. The ultimate goal of the program is to provide enough support and structure to help those who need it get through the holiday season and forward into a new year's transition back to work or school.
