Residential Treatment The residential treatment program at Aster Springs offers specialized treatment for adult women with disordered eating. They offer a structured routine in a home-like, community setting where clients will work closely with a team of highly credentialed therapists and nutritionists. With a holistic approach and low patient-to-staff ratio, clients receive multi-dimensional treatment through individual, group, experiential, and expressive therapies. Their continuum of care ensures patients continue with the appropriate level of aftercare once they have completed their residential program, including outpatient and transitional living services. Continuum of Care In addition to residential care, their partial hospitalization program (PHP) and intensive outpatient program (IOP) is offered to adult men and women. Clients in PHP will participate in treatment for 6 hours per day, 5 days per week and can live in one of the several nearby housing options provided by Aster Springs. IOP consists of treatment for 3 hours per day, 3-5 days per week and offers daytime and evening programs. Clients in outpatient programs will participate in individual, group, and family therapy, and will also prepare meals and practice learned skills with the support of professionals.

Some of these therapies may include acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), exposure and response prevention therapy (ERP), nutrition therapy, and yoga. Their tranquil campus is located on 20 acres of peaceful and serene land, with luxury amenities in an environment conducive to healing.
