Remedy TherapyGainesville Eating Disorder Treatment
A Specialized Residential Treatment Program in Florida
TREATMENT FOR EATING DISORDERS IN GAINESVILLE, FL
If you’re looking for eating disorder treatment in Gainesville or nearby, Remedy Therapy for Eating Disorders provides a residential program in Stuart that serves people across Florida. The model is medical-first: clients receive a medical assessment and ongoing monitoring (including lab testing and oversight for medical complications), and registered dietitians provide individualized nutrition rehabilitation, meal support, and education.
After residential care, the team helps clients transition to appropriate step-down options such as partial hospitalization (PHP) or intensive outpatient (IOP) by coordinating referrals and collaborating with local outpatient providers for follow-up.
What Sets Us ApartWhy Choose Remedy Therapy When Searching for Eating Disorder Treatment in Gainesville?
Our residential campus is in Stuart, FL (not Gainesville), but we welcome people from Gainesville and other Florida communities who travel here for care.
A multidisciplinary team provides residential treatment that combines medical monitoring, individualized psychotherapy, and dietitian-led nutrition work so physical safety and emotional recovery are addressed together.
We are an intimate, licensed program (maximum ~10–11 clients), which allows for personalized treatment plans and close clinician attention; family therapy and family education are available when appropriate.
For out-of-town clients, our admissions team helps coordinate travel and can arrange transportation from nearby airports, offers lodging/travel guidance, and conducts insurance verification and benefit checks. We also work with each client on discharge and aftercare planning and provide referrals to step-down programs such as PHP/IOP and local outpatient providers.
What We OfferPrograms & Levels of Care
Residential/Inpatient
Our residential program provides 24/7 supervision, medical monitoring, and intensive therapeutic support in a home-like setting. During a stay, clients have regular individual therapy and group sessions, meal support and nutrition education, and a structured daily schedule to support stabilization and skill-building. Residential treatment is intended for people who need medical stabilization or intensive, around-the-clock care.
Medical Intervention/Stabilization
The center’s medical program includes a thorough medical assessment on admission and ongoing monitoring of vital signs, laboratory values, electrolytes, and nutritional status. Medication management is coordinated as needed, and the clinical team works collaboratively with other healthcare providers to identify and respond to medical complications.
Partial Hospitalization (PHP)
Remedy describes residential care as part of a continuum and works with clients on step-down plans to more structured day-level programs (PHP) when clinically appropriate. PHP typically provides intensive daytime treatment (therapy blocks, meal support and frequent clinical contact) while the person returns home overnight; Remedy coordinates transitions toward those lower levels of care.
Intensive Outpatient (IOP)
Outpatient & Aftercare
Remedy’s program includes individual therapy, registered dietitian nutrition work, and coordinated medication management as part of ongoing aftercare planning. The team emphasizes creating a comprehensive discharge/aftercare plan and coordinates referrals to local outpatient or step-down programs to support continuity of care.
Placement and length of stay are individualized. Contact Admissions to start a complimentary pre-assessment, request an insurance/benefits check, and learn about eligibility, scheduling, travel assistance, and self-pay or financing options.
Aftercare Planning
- Teen ED Support Group: Teens who are under the age of 17 need positive, safe spaces for continued psychoeducation and self-esteem boosting, which is why teen-based eating disorder support groups can be a useful part of aftercare planning
- Body and Soul Group: Body and Soul Group therapy sessions can teach you how to focus on the connection between your mind and body, capitalizing on holistic therapies like those we teach as part of nutritional counseling and body image therapy
- Eating Disorder Support Group: Adults, too, can find help in the form of local support groups that meet on a weekly basis
By finding the right ongoing support, you can continue to practice the skills and the techniques that you learned from Remedy Therapy Center while building that support network.
Therapies, Medical Care, and Nutrition
Our treatment blends psychotherapy, medical oversight, and nutrition so physical recovery and emotional healing happen together. We use evidence-based psychotherapies tailored to eating disorders, including individual CBT and cognitive approaches that address eating-disordered thoughts and behaviors, DBT skills for emotion regulation and relapse prevention, family therapy or family education when appropriate, and focused body-image work to rebuild a healthier relationship with food and self.
Medical monitoring is built into care, so refeeding and symptom change are safe: baseline and follow-up labs (electrolytes and metabolic panels), standing vitals and orthostatic checks, and ECGs when clinically indicated help the team spot risks early and escalate as needed. Coordination with prescribing clinicians supports any necessary medication management.
Registered dietitians lead nutrition recovery with individualized meal plans, supervised refeeding protocols, and education that pairs practical meal skills with body-image work. Adjunct supports like group therapy, experiential modalities, case management, and structured discharge planning help translate clinical gains into daily life and community supports.
Safety, Medical Stabilization, and Refeeding
Refeeding after prolonged restriction can cause rapid electrolyte and fluid shifts, so we monitor weight, labs, and vitals frequently during the early phases of nutritional restoration. These checks, plus ECGs when indicated, let clinicians catch low phosphate, potassium, or magnesium early and adjust plans to prevent cardiac or respiratory complications.
If a client develops unstable vital signs, severe electrolyte losses, syncope, chest pain, or other cardiac warning signs, we escalate immediately: increasing medical supervision, arranging hospital transfer, or consulting higher-level medical partners to keep safety first. A clear medical-monitoring and refeeding protocol guides these decisions.
Admissions and Paying for Care
Getting started is simpler than it sounds. Call us or send an online inquiry and have a few things ready, including recent medical records, a current medication list, and your insurance card, so we can move quickly.
An admissions clinician will do a short clinical screen to recommend the right level of care and flag any immediate medical needs. We’ll verify your insurance benefits and any prior-authorization requirements during intake, and walk you through out-of-network options, self-pay pricing, and any financial guidance that may be available.
How fast you can be placed depends on clinical urgency and bed availability. Urgent referrals are prioritized, while scheduled admissions are arranged as capacity allows. Call Admissions to begin benefit verification and your clinical assessment.
