About Magnolia Creek
Specializing in eating disorder treatment for women and girls ages 12 and older, this program offers residential and partial hospitalization (PHP) levels of care in a supportive, female-focused environment. Separate adolescent and adult programming allows treatment to be tailored to each stage of life, while teens receive academic support to help them stay engaged with school during treatment.
Build Confidence Around Food
A standout feature is their Care Through Culinary™ program, a hands-on approach that helps clients build confidence around food through meal preparation and shared dining experiences. Beyond traditional talk therapy, clients engage in experiential therapies such as horticultural therapy, animal-assisted activities, outdoor recreation, and yoga, while family programming helps strengthen support systems. The program also treats co-occurring mental health conditions, including anxiety and depression, as well as substance use disorders alongside eating disorders.
Measuring Meaningful Progress
The program emphasizes continuity across levels of care, allowing clients to step down from residential treatment to PHP within the same treatment setting. Progress is tracked through routine outcomes monitoring, helping clinicians measure changes in eating disorder symptoms and overall wellbeing throughout treatment.
Recovery Surrounded by Nature
Set on 36 acres in Alabama, the campus offers a private retreat-like setting for treatment. Separate accommodations for adolescents and adults support age-specific programming, while the program's intimate size allows for personalized care and a close-knit community. Wooded grounds, gardens, and scenic outdoor spaces create a calm environment focused on recovery.

Your Care Options
Specializations
Eating Disorders
An eating disorder is a long-term pattern of unhealthy behavior relating to food. Most people with eating disorders have a distorted self-image.
Who We Treat
Adolescents
Teens receive the treatment they need for mental health disorders and addiction, with the added support of educational and vocational services.
Women only
Women attend treatment in a gender-specific facility, with treatment delivered in a safe, nourishing, and supportive environment for greater comfort.
Treatment Services
Day Treatment
Also commonly called PHP, patients may live at home or in a recovery residence while following an intensive treatment program. Most have a weekly schedule of M–F and 4 to 6 hours per day.
Outpatient
During outpatient rehab, patients attend a structured treatment program while continuing to live at home.
Outpatient Therapy
Outpatient therapy offers scheduled counseling and treatment sessions without requiring an overnight stay or residential care.
Residential
In a residential rehab program, patients live onsite, with access to daily treatment and 24-hour care. An average stay is 30-90 days.
Approaches
Evidence-Based
A combination of scientifically rooted therapies and treatments make up evidence-based care, defined by their measured and proven results.
Gender-Specific
Separate treatment for men or women can create strong peer connections and remove barriers related to trauma, shame, and gender-specific nuances.
Individual Treatment
Individual care meets the needs of each patient, using personalized treatment to provide them the most relevant care and greatest chance of success.
Therapies
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
This cognitive behavioral therapy teaches patients to accept challenging feelings and make the appropriate changes to reach personal goals.
Animal Therapy
Animals can inspire trust and self-worth. In this experiential therapy, guided interactions are used to improve social skills and emotion regulation.
Art Therapy
Visual art invites patients to examine the emotions within their work, focusing on the process of creativity and its gentle therapeutic power.
Equine Therapy
Guided interactions with trained horses, their handler, and a therapist can help patients improve their self-esteem, trust, empathy, and social skills.
Experiential Therapy
With this approach, patients heal by doing. Therapists help patients process difficult emotions to speak, using guided activities like art or dance.
Eye Movement Therapy (EMDR)
Lateral, guided eye movements help reduce the emotional reactions of retelling and reprocessing trauma, allowing intense feelings to dissipate.
Family Therapy
Family therapy addresses group dynamics within a family system, with a focus on improving communication and interrupting unhealthy relationship patterns.
Group Therapy
Group therapy brings people together in a supportive setting to share experiences, develop skills, and work toward common goals.
Horticultural Therapy
Horticultural therapy uses gardening and plant-based activities to support emotional well-being, skill development, and personal growth.
