Transformation. Empowerment. Healing.
Situated in a beautiful craftsman style farmhouse and surrounded by 10 acres of North Carolina forest and wild flowers, Carolina House, located in Durham, offers residential treatment for eating disorders, providing exceptional and supportive care to individuals with anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorders, and related issues.
We seek to treat the whole person, and promote the development of strong, life-long emotional and behavioral skills that honor a person's unique situation and needs. Carolina House utilizes an approach that values a patients' complete life, including family, community, culture, value systems, spiritual traditions, and integration within the larger world. The relationships we form with our patients are founded on dignity and respect, with an understanding and appreciation of the role that an eating disorder has played in their lives.
Every individual has the capacity to live a fully empowered life, and to make effective choices for optimal physical, emotional, cognitive and spiritual health. We believe people can attain freedom from habitual, self-defeating behaviors that so often take the form of disordered eating patterns. Carolina House provides an environment where experienced staff encourage healing through awareness of one's relationship with self, with others, and with the environment. We seek to increase quality of life through the provision of mindfulness-based treatment, facilitating reconnection with the core self and promoting healing from self-defeating behavioral patterns and compromised physical health.
The goal of Carolina House is to provide a beautiful, safe, and nurturing environment with highly trained and supportive staff using a structured, multi-faceted treatment approach. Utilizing this structure, patients examine their current beliefs, worldviews, and core values for increased awareness of the dynamics of their eating disordered behaviors. This vital awareness empowers patients to incorporate effective coping skills that will enable them to choose more effective beliefs and behavior patterns. Upon completion of treatment at Carolina House, patients will have the awareness and tools to significantly improve their daily functioning, maintain health through optimal nutrition, and thrive with a greatly enriched quality of life.
