Offering residential and PHP treatment options, as well as our free weekly after care groups and community support groups, Magnolia Creek offers one of the most comprehensive eating disorder treatment programs in the Southeast.
Residential Treatment Program
Magnolia Creek's residential program offers the highest level of care and the closest amount of supervision and support. Residential treatment provides a structured, constant and stable environment in which our clients can restore their physical and psychological health.
As clients improve in health and strengthen their commitment to recovery, they gradually receive less supervision and more autonomy. The program emphasizes setting goals and continually recognizes progress, helping clients transition smoothly toward life beyond the eating disorder.
The program runs seven days a week, with clients residing onsite and a staff nurse and staff counselor available 24 hours a day. Clients participate in both individual and group therapy and meet regularly with the program's medical director, nurse, and dietitian. All meals and snacks are provided for by the center, including meals on outings and trips.
Partial Hospitalization Program
The term "partial hospitalization" may seem confusing, as it is a less intensive level of care than residential. Also known as "day treatment," partial hospitalization is designed for clients who are stepping down from inpatient or residential care or for clients who require a higher level of care than outpatient services are able to provide.
Partial hospitalization allows for clients to begin a life outside of treatment, facing everyday triggers and challenges while still receiving a strong level of professional care. Clients apply the skills they learn in treatment in their daily lives, constantly receiving feedback and support to gain the confidence they need to transition out of treatment.
During the first week of PHP treatment, clients attend programming onsite from 7:30 am until at least 7:00 pm. After the first week, an individualized schedule will be developed based on the needs of the client. The standard PHP schedule runs weekdays from 7:30 am- 4:30 pm, but the schedule may be extended or shortened as needed.
Clients participate in both individual and group therapy and also meet regularly with the program's medical director, nurse, and dietitian. They eat two meals a day and snacks at the center and receive nutrition education, cooking classes, meal vouchers, and grocery vouchers to purchase and prepare their evening and weekend meals at home.
Options
- Saturday Option: Clients who require more structure and support may opt for an additional day of treatment over the weekends.
- PHP Apartment Living: Clients who live at an inconvenient distance or who wish to reside with other peers in recovery may live in our furnished apartments nearby for an additional $20 per day. The fee covers rent, utilities, and linens.
