Our Setting
Central Coast Treatment Center offers a warm and inviting home-like environment where clients can feel safe and supported to explore their eating, exercise and body image disorders. Our clients often tell us the Central Coast is in fact their “home-away-from-home.”
For the convenience of our clients who are Cal Poly San Luis Obispo students, we also remain in close contact with the Cal Poly Health Center. This ensures that medical stability is closely monitored and reduces the need for additional outside providers.
Are you in need of residential eating disorder treatment?
We are proud partners with ‘Ai Pono Hawaii Eating Disorder Treatment Program, which provides intensive residential eating disorder treatment for women ages 13+. Please contact ‘Ai Pono Hawaii directly, or a member of our Central Coast Admissions Team would be happy to provide you with more information on their residential program.
Residential Treatment at ‘Ai Pono Hawaii
Founded by eating psychology pioneer Dr. Anita Johnston, ‘Ai Pono Hawaii provides a serene, nurturing setting in which women can be given a temporary reprieve from the stressors of their everyday life that may hinder the discovery of the deeper meaning embedded in their eating disorder symptoms.
Recognizing and identifying the adaptive function of the eating disorder can point one towards the development of life-skills necessary for resolving the eating disorder. ‘Ai Pono’s residential program offers tools to help identify, accept, and express our needs and feelings directly, rather than through our relationship with food and eating.
The ‘Ai Pono Hawaii Residential Program offers:
Comprehensive treatment to address medical, nutritional, and therapeutic needs
24/7 nursing staff to ensure safety and medical stability
Up to six groups per day on various topics
Individual psychotherapy sessions conducted 3x weekly and including trauma treatment
Individual sessions with a Registered Dietitian 1x weekly Nutrition education groups also take place on a weekly basis and include meal outings.
Meals prepared by an in-house chef who works in close correspondence with the dietitian
Weekly visits with a physician to ensure that medical needs will be monitored and addressed
Oversight and prescription of necessary medications by a psychiatrist
