HOPE

Complete and lasting eating disorder recovery is never easy. But it is possible.

The first call to Remuda is often the most difficult. Fortunately, our admission specialists streamline the admission process for everyone involved. We coordinate with outpatient professionals, explain the program to family members and even work with insurance companies on a patient's behalf. With our admission specialists, that first step to recovery is just a little easier to take.

HEALING

Anorexia & Bulimia

Our programs are designed to give our patients the foundation for a full and lasting recovery. Because we've witnessed success so consistently over the years, we continue to abide by the mind-body-social-spiritual framework of care. At Remuda, that means we treat every aspect of a person, not just their disorder.

Our experienced staff includes:

• Primary Care Providers
• Psychiatric Practitioners
• Psychologist
• Masters or Doctoral-level Therapists
• Nurses
• Registered Dietitians

Everyone, from housekeeping to healthcare are all committed to a patient's care.

In addition to Remuda's institutional facilities, we offer treatment programs in multiple locations, all found nestled within the beauty of nature, and all state licensed and accredited by the Joint Commission.

Family also plays a key role in the successful recovery of every Remuda patient. With weekly therapy via telephone and Family Week, families become an active participant in the healing process.

But the process doesn't stop there. As patients find themselves able to draw on their successes, we help them maintain progress through relapse-prevention classes and aftercare coordinators that keep momentum going long after Remuda.

LIFE

After an Eating Disorder

Remuda recognizes that there are several behavioral health treatment programs out there. So why choose Remuda? Because of the simple fact that our treatment works.

• A full 95% of patients remain in successful recovery after leaving Remuda
• That number holds true for one, five and ten years

Today, thousands u of individuals are living  life without an eating disorder, and often, without other psychiatric issues such as depression, substance use or anxiety.

The patients that come to Remuda come to us looking for help. Because of our comprehensive approach to treatment, they leave having found themselves.

INPATIENT

Remuda Ranch provides holistic inpatient treatment for women, adolescents and children struggling with anorexia, bulimia and related issues. By using the highly effective Remuda Model of treatment, this intensive program is designed to eliminate eating disorder behaviors, regain patient health, and get every individual on the road to recovery.

TREATMENT

Women & Girls With Anorexia

For meaningful change to occur, patients are our guests for 45-60 days and are treated by a skilled team of professionals.

Because eating disorders often occur with other co-occurring issues such as depression, anxiety, substance abuse or trauma, we accompany group and individual therapy with other innovate treatment approaches.

Our gender-appropriate programs serve two purposes. Patients are surrounded by their peers, and treatment professionals specializing in treating a specific age group provide experienced care.

TEAM

Eating disorder professionals are dedicated to each patient's recovery.

• Primary Care Provider evaluates and monitors physical health
• Psychiatric Providers offer psychiatric oversight and closely monitor medication
• Psychologists provide psychometric testing and diagnostic services to facilitate treatment
• Masters or Doctoral Level Therapists meet with patients one-on-one and group sessions to unearth the roots of the eating disorder
• Registered Dietitians tailor a meal plan to help patients satisfy nutritional requirements
• Registered Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses and Mental Health Technicians attend to patients around the clock to provide consistency, care and accountability
• Education Coordinators nurture a patient's mind by helping her meet her academic needs

TOGETHER

Group Therapy

The hardest question for sufferers of eating disorders to answer is often "why?" In group therapy sessions, patients can explore the hard questions in an environment free from judgment and full of support. They share their thoughts, gain insight and develop skills that help them cope with their own disorder.

Group therapies include:

• Community Meetings
• Body Image Therapy for Females With Anorexia and Bulimia Health Issues
• Recovery Processes
• Skills
• Nutrition
• Body Image
• Trauma Recovery
• Substance Recovery
• Anxiety Reduction

FAMILY

The First Line of Love

In addition to having an impact on an individual, psychiatric disorders affect the ones closest to them, especially family members. Remuda believes that for a patient to fully recover, some understanding in the hearts and minds of every family member must occur.

Throughout treatment, therapeutic phone calls with family members move them toward a common ground. It's during Family Week, however, that patients and their families are exposed to education and intensive counseling. Family members have the opportunity to express the disorder's impact on them through Truth in Love sessions which are conducted by skilled family therapists. These qualified therapists facilitate healthy discussion and nurture forgiveness and healing.

EXPERIENTIAL ACTIVITIES

Unconventional and interactive methods of expression give patients an outlet for the complex emotions and stressors present in their lives.

Therapies include:

• Equine
• Canine
• Movement
• Art
• Challenge
• Recreational Activities

ACADEMICS

An integral part of the Remuda Model of treatment is the healing of the mind. And for that simple reason, every girl meets with an education coordinator on a regular basis. With the help of a patient's school, coordinators and patients tailor a curriculum that mirrors a lesson plan at home.

AFTERCARE

Help is never more than a phone call away. A fact especially true for patients struggling with recovery after treatment at Remuda. The Aftercare program helps patients stay on track and stay healthy by identifying and avoiding relapse. With their help, we develop a comprehensive aftercare plan with patients that include periodic contact (five times within the first year, to be exact) with a follow-up coordinator. Staff is always on call, if additional help is needed.

OUTCOMES

Remuda's Model and its Success

Since opening our doors in 1990, Remuda Ranch has helped more than 9,000 patients struggling to find a healthy balance between their outward appearance and their inner beauty.
