About The Renfrew Center First in Eating Disorders
The Renfrew Center First in Eating Disorders Center offers residential and outpatient treatment programs that address specialty needs associated with eating disorders, including substance use. Eating disorders and substance abuse may occur together, which is called dual diagnosis.
Both symptoms serve the same function of managing distress by avoiding or changing difficult emotions. They recognized the importance of addressing both issues simultaneously to achieve the best rate of success.
Their specialized substance use programming is designed to use an evidence based, transdiagnostic approach that addresses the core underlying issues of both conditions. You have access to individual and group therapies that are designed to help motivate you and educate you about the complex connections in your disorders. You also develop the skills necessary to achieve recovery. The customized approach is based on a comprehensive assessment of your addiction, the substances you use, and the severity of the substance abuse.
The program is not centered around a 12-step model but they recognize that working the steps can help some individuals and therefore support participation in AA-based groups depending on your preference. They accept more than 400 insurance providers from throughout the country and verify your insurance coverage before you get started in treatment.
Levels of Care
Inpatient
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.
Treatment
Substance Abuse
Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.
