HERE’S WHAT A DAY IN TREATMENT COULD LIKE
You’ll enjoy a nutritious breakfast accompanied by our clinical team and mental health support workers who will work with you to normalize your eating habits. After breakfast you’ll set your intentions for the day with some self reflection. Then, you’ll attend group sessions focussed on making behavioural changes, body image, cooking and nutrition education.
After a supervised lunch, you’ll attend a one-on-one therapy or group therapy session to help you identify and address the root causes of your eating disorder. Then, depending on your care plan, you may participate in gentle exercise to promote your recovery.
In the evening, there are optional group sessions such as addiction support groups, meditation, and leisure activities.
Continuing support for ongoing success
Support from EHN Guardians does not end once you step out the door. We believe that ongoing recovery requires ongoing care. That’s why one year of Aftercare, an important part of relapse prevention, is included for all eligible alumni.
To further strengthen your commitment to continued recovery, we also offer access to our app-based support. This tool enables you to set personalized goals, track your progress, and stay mindful of potential triggers, ensuring you remain proactive in your recovery journey.
The Aftercare Program also aims at helping you identify risks of relapse and obtaining the guidance and recommendations you may need for early intervention if required.
