What is a typical day like?

Programming for our inpatient and residential eating disorder program runs from 7:45 am to 8:30 pm with scheduled breaks throughout the day. This includes a mix of group therapy sessions, individual therapy, supported meals and snacks, and meetings with the clinical director, physician or dietitian. The partial hospitalization program (PHP) runs Monday through Saturday from 10:30 am to 6:30 pm, and the intensive outpatient program (IOP) runs either from 10:30 am to 2:30 pm or 2:30 pm to 6:30 pm. Programming is rigorous in both programs, and days are composed of therapy groups, a meal, and individual sessions with scheduled breaks throughout the day.

Admissions dates are set on an individual basis and are determined by space availability and your schedule. When you call us at 844-573-2776 , our team will schedule a no-cost clinical consultation and benefits check the same day. Once we have your information and have completed an assessment, we will work with you to set an admission date for the recommended level of care.

How long is the program?

The length of stay varies for each individual and is determined based on medical necessity. The length of stay averages four to six weeks but can be extended based on medical necessity. Patients often transition to PHP when they are ready to discharge from 24-hour inpatient and residential care.

Will my family be involved in treatment?

We believe family and friends can be a valuable source of support and strength for patients on the journey to recovery and our clinical team places a strong emphasis on involving the family in the treatment process. "Family” can consist of any support system the patient identifies such as parents, siblings, significant others, friends or colleagues. Through visits, therapy and other involvement, we work to make sure family can be involved in recovery as necessary. Please see our Resources for Family & Loved Ones for more information.

What’s the difference between inpatient and residential treatment?

Inpatient treatment is our highest level of care located in a specialized eating disorder unit at BHC Alhambra Hospital. Our residential treatment facilities are located in beautiful, six-bed houses in Pasadena, San Marino, and Arcadia, California, and are the immediate step-down options from inpatient treatment. Both levels of care are intensive and structured and offer 24-hour nursing care, therapeutic support and supervision. Review our programs to learn more about each one.

What are the visiting hours?

Visiting hours at the residential houses are Monday through Friday, 7:30 pm to 10 pm. Inpatient facility visitation hours are Monday through Friday, 7:00 pm to 8:45 pm. There are extended visiting hours on the weekends. Contact us for more information.

Do you take insurance?

We accept most major managed health care and medical insurance plans. We are also a TRICARE® Certified Provider for active duty service members and their families. Review our Insurance Information for full details.

Do you work with dual diagnoses?

Yes. Many patients come to us with significant trauma, histories of substance abuse, and mood and anxiety disorders. We individualize our treatment plans and include somatic therapies, 12-Step groups, and psychiatric stabilization to assist patients in their healing process from not only the eating disorder but other mental health concerns as well.

Can I practice my faith at Reasons?

We understand that spirituality may play a large role in your recovery. We offer groups dedicated to spirituality, and when appropriate, we can make arrangements for attending services of your choice.

How do you determine the plan for discharge?

We understand that continuity of care is vital to maintaining the skills that you have acquired at Reasons. Our case manager will work with you to find an outside treatment team that best fits your individual needs. We also offer on-site Partial Hospitalization and Intensive Outpatient Programs for those who live in the local Los Angeles, California area, and virtual PHP and IOP for those throughout the state.
