What exactly is Satori House Eating Disorder Extended Care Residence?
Satori House for Eating Disorder Extended Care is a non-clinical residential home for those in recovery from all forms of eating disorders. It evolved from an overwhelming need to provide individuals coming out of residential treatment facilities with a transitional living environment, to help them gradually integrate into an independent living setting. Providing Satori House extended care residence as an option can significantly reduce the chance of relapse; a frustrating yet real problem with recovery from eating disorders.
Who can live at Satori House Eating Disorder Extended Care Residence?
Satori House for Eating Disorder Extended Care treatment was created for women 18 years of age and older who are dealing with recovery from eating disorders. Guests typically come from a higher level of care and transition into Satori House. We understand that coming out of an inpatient program can be overwhelming and scary. We want to provide a place where individuals can continue with their lives, face the accompanying challenges in which that brings, while gaining support from a “recovery based” environment. We don’t think you should have to choose between trying to recover and trying to live a normal life.
Some of our guests have not needed full residential care, and are hoping to participate in our 14 hour/week Eating Disorders Intensive Outpatient Program (or another program in the area) while living in our safe and supportive recovery home.
Satori House Extended Care Residence for Eating Disorder Treatment is unique because guests may live at Satori House while continuing with their own individual outpatient therapist and dietitian (if deemed clinically appropriate). For all guests receiving treatment or therapy outside “Shoreline” we simply require active communication with your treating professionals in order to develop and maintain consistency in goal setting, and treatment planning. Since the existing therapist tends to know individuals best we want their input and welcome the collaboration.
Satori House Extended Care Residence for Eating Disorders Treatment offers semi-structured programming throughout the day with 24-hour supervision. Individuals will be required to participate in core programming, yet individual daily schedules will be designed to address each guest's specific goals. We believe guests should lead balanced lives; so all guests are required to participate in the community. For some this will be taking a class, for others it might mean holding a part-time job and for others it might mean simply volunteering in the community once a week. It is our goal to help you practice recovery skills in the real world. Our recovery coaches will help you implement these components.
