Center for Discovery Dunwoody

About Center for Discovery Dunwoody – Dunwoody, Georgia

Center for Discovery in Dunwoody, Georgia was a facility where individuals who were struggling with an eating disorder could come for supportive, evidence driven care. This center is now closed, but they primarily focused on helping you work through food-related disorders, however, they were able to support you if you had a co-occurring substance abuse disorder at play as well.

The services here were offered in a residential treatment setting. There was also a partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient program offered here as well. There are still other locations operating throughout 11 other states, however, with nearby locations in Florida and Virginia.

You would have found that the recovery environment here was incredibly calming. The facility was inviting and welcoming and there was an atmosphere that aligned more with a home like feel than a traditional clinical feel. This environment helped you feel a sense of calm and peace and you were able to focus on your recovery plan distraction free.

Both inside and out, this facility was very upscale. The building was defined by its elegant red brick facade while inside you would have found modern furniture and open spaces to work with your care team and peers.

Cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavioral therapies would have been applied within your treatment program. There was also a strong focus on exposure therapy and you would have been encouraged to face your food aversions head on. Through these therapies, you would have been able to get to the root cause of your mental health addiction struggles that have contributed to your substance use struggles.

Your recovery plan would have been highly individualized for your recovery needs. They had different treatment tracks here that addressed the needs of veterans, members of the LGBTQ community, and programs that addressed common issues like body dysmorphia that often plague victims of eating disorders. Whatever the struggles you were working through, you would have found a care team to be highly sensitive and responsive to your unique needs.
