For women and girls needing a residential treatment for eating or Anxiety Disorders, we offer Remuda Life.

Remuda Life is located in two locations. One is a quiet suburban neighborhood in the Phoenix metro area, and the second is a serene respite in rural Virginia. Residents live in homes or apartments and have access to the same multidisciplinary care found at every Remuda program.

There are three programs offered at Remuda Life that focus on the individual needs of the resident:

  • Residential Care
  • Independent Living
  • Emotional Eating

Recovery Through Residential Living

Remuda Life provides a somewhat less structured yet supportive buffer between inpatient care and the oftentimes difficult return home. By easing patients back into real world environments, women and girls can make practical use of the skills they learned and continue on the road to recovery.

For women and girls who have just finished outpatient care from eating or anxiety disorders, Remuda Life also serves as a transitional home. Continuing 24-hour support, while at the same time giving residents the opportunity to explore their new-found recovery is what makes the Remuda Life Program so successful.

Residents live life independently, have day-to-day responsibilities, and even take part in part-time work, volunteer opportunities or school. The simple fact that residents live in close contact with each other provide an additional leg of support for women and girls to rely on.
