Carolina House Eating Disorder Treatment Center

About Carolina House Eating Disorder Treatment Center – Durham

Carolina House is a behavioral health treatment center in Durham, North Carolina. They’re most well known for their eating disorder treatment, but they have mental health treatment, too, including drug and alcohol addiction care.

The addiction recovery and mental health program here is a residential rehab. They work with clients ages 18 and older. The program is gender inclusive, so they welcome clients of all gender identities.

A typical program here is about three to five weeks but yours can vary based on what you need and based on your progress. Your program will be personalized to you, but it will be an integrated and holistic treatment program. They’ll provide psychiatric care along with yoga and therapy and other techniques for overall healing and recovery. You’ll have a structured schedule from day to day with individual therapy and group therapy as well as therapeutic activities and mindfulness sessions.

By the time you finish your program, you’ll also have a customized aftercare and relapse prevention plan to make sure you have the ongoing support you need.

One thing that especially stood out to me about this treatment center is that they emphasize that they’re LGBTQ+ inclusive. If you’re part of the LGBTQ+ community this treatment center will respect your identity and give you a safe and respectful place to treat your addiction.

Client reviews for this treatment center are very polarized. Some clients say that it was an excellent experience that made a powerful difference in their recovery, while others say that they didn’t get the number of therapy sessions they were promised. They do note that this seems to be because of staffing issues, so your experience may depend on how well staff the treatment center is during your stay.

Addiction Treatments

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.

Intensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

Outpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Partial Hospitalization Program

A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term form of intensive rehab, usually for those with acute symptoms that are hard to manage but don’t require 24-hour care. PHPs have structured programming (i.e. individual and/or group therapy), and usually meet 3-5 days a week for around 6 hours (i.e. 9am-3m). Some PHPs are residential (patients sleep on site) and some are not, so patients sleep at home. PHPs can last from 1-6 months, and some offer transportation and meals.

Programs

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

LGBTQ Program

Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.
