Remuda Ranch Inpatient Programs for Eating Disorders

| Print |

Remuda Ranch provides holistic inpatient treatment for women, adolescents and children struggling with anorexia, bulimia and related issues. By using the highly effective Remuda Model of treatment and 20 years of an established treatment regimen of best practices, this intensive program is designed to eliminate eating disorder behaviors, regain patient health and get every individual on the road to recovery.

TREATMENT

Women & Girls With Anorexia

For meaningful change to occur, patients are our guests for 45-60 days and are treated by a skilled team of professionals.
Because eating disorders are often accompanied by other co-occurring issues such as depression, anxiety, substance abuse or trauma, we compliment group and individual therapy with other innovate treatment approaches.
And because Remuda's programs are age-appropriate, patients gain strength and support from their peers. Additionally, treatment professionals who specialize in specific age groups provide experienced guidance as a trained professional.

 

TEAM

Eating disorder professionals are dedicated to each patient's recovery.

  • Primary Care Doctors evaluate and monitor physical health
  • Psychiatric Providers offer psychiatric oversight and closely monitor medication
  • Psychologists provide psychometric testing and diagnostic services to facilitate treatment
  • Master's- or Doctoral-level Therapists meet with patients one-on-one and group sessions to address the core issues of the eating disorder
  • Registered Dietitians tailor a meal plan to help patients satisfy nutritional requirements
  • Registered Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses and Mental Health Technicians attend to patients around the clock to provide consistency, care and accountability
  • Education Coordinators nurture a patient's mind by helping her meet her academic needs

 

TOGETHER

Group Therapy

The hardest question for sufferers of eating disorders to answer is often "why?" In group therapy sessions, patients can explore the hard questions in an environment free from judgment and full of support. They share their thoughts, gain insight and develop skills that help them cope with their own disorders.

Group therapies include:

 

FAMILY

The First Line of Love

In addition to having an impact on an individual, behavioral disorders affect the ones closest to them, especially family members. Remuda believes that for a patient to recover, some understanding in the hearts and minds of every family member must occur.

Throughout treatment, therapeutic phone calls with family members move patients and loved ones toward a common ground. It's during Family Week, however, that patients and their families are exposed to education and intensive counseling.
Family members have the opportunity to express the disorder's impact on them through Truth in Love sessions which are conducted by skilled family therapists. These qualified therapists facilitate healthy discussion and nurture forgiveness and healing.

 

EXPERIENTIAL ACTIVITIES

Unconventional and interactive methods of expression give patients an outlet for the complex emotions and stressors present in their lives.

Therapies include:

ACADEMICS

An integral part of the Remuda Model of treatment is the healing of the mind. For this simple reason, every girl meets with an education coordinator on a regular basis. With the help of a patient's school, Remuda coordinators tailor a curriculum that mirrors a lesson plan at home.

 

AFTERCARE

Help is never more than a phone call away - a fact especially true for patients struggling with recovery after treatment at Remuda. The Aftercare program helps patients stay on track and stay healthy by identifying and avoiding relapse. With their help, we develop a comprehensive aftercare plan with patients that include periodic contact with a follow-up coordinator. Staff is always on call if additional help is needed.

 

OUTCOMES

Remuda's Model and its Success

Since opening our doors in 1990, Remuda Ranch has helped more than 9,000 patients struggling to find a healthy balance between their outward appearance and their inner beauty. With a comprehensive mind-body-spirit approach to care, 95% of our patients are healthy after having left our program after fifteen years. Outcomes like this only happen at one place - Remuda.

After one year of Remuda treatment,

  • 89% of patients report improved relationships with family & friends
  • 85% feel that Remuda positively influenced their personal growth
  • The average percent of ideal body weight for anorexic patients is 98%, compared to 78% at admission
  • 95% are in good recovery

Recovery is a lifelong struggle, but with the help of a program committed to the rediscovery of hope, the first step to recovery is well within reach.
