Casa Serena Eating Disorders Program
        New Teen After School Program

     Opening February 2012.  Casa Serena is excited to announce the opening
of our After School Program for teenagers 14-17 years of age who are struggling
with Anorexia, Bulimia and Binge Eating Disorders.

     The program is offered Monday, Wednesday and T
hursday from 4:30 pm to
8:30 pm Monday
, Wednesday and Thursday.  Average length of stay is 8-10
weeks, with some exceptions depending on the treatment plan for each client.

     This program option has been developed to address the needs of clients
who are needing more intervention then outpatient weekly appointments, but
they don't need to go to inpatient or residential settings.

     We are an intensive outpatient setting that provides necessary education
and therapeutic groups to help the teenager and their families to break away
from the eating disorders cycle of suffering.

     Each client will have an individual treatment plan which includes weekly  
individual psychotherapy and nutritional consultations to address their specific
issues in recovery.  A multi family education and  support group as well as
individual family therapy sessions are included in a weekly program of group
therapy.

     The groups are designed to help the client develop new coping skills and a
better understanding of the role of the eating disorder in their life.
