Clients transition seamlessly between
Residential and Day Treatment in the new comprehensive,
supportive environment.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., July 10,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Alsana, an eating disorder
recovery community, has incorporated Partial Hospitalization
(PHP) and Intensive Outpatient (IOP) treatments into its
residential treatment program in Birmingham, AL. The integration of these
treatments enables those with eating disorders to remain in the
same location as their needs change during their recovery and
healing process.
According to a study from the Harvard
T.H. Chan School of Public Health, 9% of Alabama residents, or roughly
430,271 people, will develop an eating disorder in their
lifetime. It's one of the deadliest mental health conditions second
only to opioid addiction. Knowing the signs is key to getting early
treatment, which can lead to a lasting recovery.
"Our Birmingham campus provides in-patient and out-patient
clients with three levels of care in a nurturing and inclusive
residential environment," said Mary
Elizabeth Akinaka, LPC, CEDS-S, Regional Executive Director
with Alsana. "We meet our clients where they are in their recovery
journey - our local in-person programs allow them stay close to
home for the added support and comfort during treatment."
The Birmingham campus
features:
- A serene and scenic healing location in Birmingham's rolling hills
- Access to a continuum of high-quality early intervention
treatment, along with inpatient and outpatient care featuring
clinical, nutritional, and medical support in one centralized
location
- Adaptable programs that consider each adult's needs and
schedules to help them return to their families, school and
jobs
