| NEW Teen Summer Program We are excited to offer an Intensive Summer Program for Teens at Casa Serena. The program will operate for 10 weeks from June 21st to August 27th. This is an Intensive Outpatient Treatment Option for female and male teens (14-17 years of age) who are struggling with Anorexia, Bulimia and Binge Eating Disorders. The program is designed to provide a Step Up from Outpatient care when the client needs more structure and support to address their recovery needs. It can also be a Step Down from Inpatient or Residential settings, where the client may need the support to re-integrate back into their life after a higher level of care. The program operates Monday through Thursday from 10:30 am to 2:00 pm. The full day program consists of two issue specific groups and a lunch meal each day. (See the schedule below.) We help each client to develop an individualized treatment plan to meet their specific needs. Our goal is to help every client to decrease the destructive behaviors and to develop more positive coping mechanisms to deal with the issues that drive the eating disorder. Our Dietary Program We use an Intuitive eating approach to working with re-feeding and normalizing the eating plans for each client. On Mondays the meals are prepared with the dietitian or we go out to a restaurant. The other days hot meals are brought in and eaten family style with the staff. Vegetarian options are available. The program also includes a weekly Individual therapy session, a Multi-Family Therapy Group, and a Dietary Consultation. These appointments are setup before or after program so that each client can take part in the full program. The Teen Program is covered by most insurance companies or we have a private pay option available. Call Astra at the center and she can help you verify your insurance and set up your financial contract. For further information contact us at (925) 682-8252 |
