About Magnolia Creek
Magnolia Creek is a women's only residential treatment center that specializes in treating anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, compulsive exercise disorder, pica disorder, muscle dysmorphia, and purging disorder, along with co-occurring health conditions. Magnolia Creek offers a full continuum of care with individualized treatment plans tailored to the individual. They blend evidence-based intervention with holistic therapies. The residential program length is 30 days. Each day, clients participate in individual therapy, group therapy, and experiential and recreational therapy. Therapies vary from day to day and can include CBT, DBT, ACT, mindfulness therapy, motivational interviewing (MI), and family counseling. Clients will have the opportunity to participate in experiential therapies like animal-assisted therapy, wilderness therapy, art therapy, sand-tray therapy, music therapy, and adventure therapy. After residential treatment, clients step down onto a Day Treatment, or PHP. Rather than living at the treatment center, clients attend daily programming and are provided the opportunity to prepare meals and engage in learned coping skills at home in the evenings. In addition to treatment, Magnolia Creek offers a 3-day intensive family program once a month and an ongoing aftercare program.
Magnolia Creek sits in a quiet and picturesque setting in Birmingham, Alabama. The beautiful property is surrounded by 40 acres of wooded land with a large private lake. The colonial home houses up to 14 residents and provides comfortable accommodations, a living room fireplace, and a wrap around porch perfect for relaxing. Clients are served 3 meals a day prepared by an on-site chef. Clients can enjoy walks through the beautiful property, yoga, and horseback riding. Magnolia Creek is accredited by the Joint Commission and accepts most private insurance.
