Nestled in North Carolina, Carolina House offers personalized support for individuals with eating disorders, including anorexia nervosa, avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), binge-eating disorder, body dysmorphic disorder, bulimia nervosa, and other specified feeding or eating disorders (OSFED). Alongside primary and co-occurring eating disorders, they treat anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and self-harm. Their programs include residential treatment, a partial hospitalization program (PHP), and an intensive outpatient program (IOP).
Carolina House seeks to treat the whole person and promote the development of strong, lifelong emotional and behavioral skills that honor a person’s unique situation. Most mornings, clients meet with 24-hour nursing staff to assess vital signs and any medical concerns. After breakfast, clients who have received clearance from the medical and clinical teams may take a walk or engage in another approved activity. Clients then begin a full day of therapies, lectures, activities, and meetings. In addition to individual and family therapy sessions, clients participate in a wide range of therapy groups addressing topics such as body image, coping skills, interpersonal effectiveness, spirituality, and more. In the evenings, clients have free time for focused recovery work.
After a comprehensive nutrition assessment with Carolina House’s registered dietitian and licensed dietitian nutritionist, a specific nutrition plan is established for each client. Clients learn to re-establish a healthy relationship with food through individual and group sessions, mindful eating exercises, cultivating the kitchen garden, educational food shopping experiences, and meal preparation groups. Clients learn to reframe food as a tool for optimal health, rather than an adversary, and recognize their potential for greatness when they nourish themselves.
Carolina House’s campus sits on 10 acres of forested land, and provides a tranquil space for clients to heal. Being among the trees allows clients to slow down and connect with nature. Some clients enjoy the swing on their front porch and others busy themselves in the garden. Some read books on the screened-in porch, and others take walks in the woods. Its large, comfortable, home-like setting in the midst of the rural country provides an excellent place to step away from the stress of life and focus on recovery. Individuals of all genders live together harmoniously in the same house, fostering a supportive and welcoming community for everyone working towards recovery. Clients are accommodated in single-sex rooms and share bathroom facilities with individuals of the same gender. On weekends, clients enjoy visiting hours, leisure activities, and supervised group outings to nearby attractions.
