WHO WE TREAT

Remedy treats a broad spectrum of eating disorder presentations using inclusive, non-stigmatizing language and individualized care planning.

What We OfferLevels of Care Available
Remedy Therapy’s clinical work is built around a nutrition-forward residential program at its Stuart campus and a dedicated medical intervention service. For people traveling from Sanford, Remedy provides residential care plus on-site medical monitoring and coordinates next steps with Admissions.
Medical Stabilization / Medical Intervention
Remedy’s Medical Intervention services address the physical risks of eating disorders. Care begins with a comprehensive medical assessment (history, exam, baseline labs) and continues with regular vital sign checks and laboratory monitoring as needed, refeeding precautions, and medication management when clinically indicated. Nursing, medical staff, and psychiatry collaborate closely so that medical safety is maintained while clinical work proceeds.
Residential / Inpatient
Residential treatment at Remedy provides 24/7 supervision in a peaceful, home-like setting where clients focus on recovery. Residential programming includes structured mealtimes with trained meal support, daily therapy blocks (individual and group), nutrition rehabilitation led by registered dietitians, body-image and trauma-focused interventions, and regular multidisciplinary case review. Treatment plans are individualized and clinically driven to address both medical stabilization and therapeutic goals.
For questions about step-down outpatient care or local referrals after residential treatment, contact Admissions for current options and help with coordination and benefits verification.
Evidence-Based Therapies We Use
At Remedy, we integrate psychotherapy, nutrition, and medical oversight so therapeutic work and physical stabilization happen together: individual therapy, problem-focused groups, supervised meals, nutrition check-ins, and ongoing medical monitoring form a single, coordinated plan.
We rely on evidence-based modalities tailored to eating disorders and common co-occurring concerns:
- Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), including CBT approaches adapted for eating disorder symptoms.
- Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills training for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.
- Trauma-informed therapy modalities that address the impact of trauma on eating and body image.
- Individual therapy, personalized psychotherapy to address underlying drivers and maintain relapse-prevention work.
- Family therapy/family education involving loved ones, when clinically appropriate, to support recovery.
- Nutrition counseling & meal support delivered by registered dietitians for meal planning, exposure work, and education.
- Body-image therapy focuses on working to improve self-acceptance and reduce weight/shape preoccupation.
- Medical & psychiatric management, including monitoring, labs, and medication when indicated.
What to Expect: Admissions, Assessment & Safety
Getting started is simple: contact admissions for a phone screen or online pre-assessment and a complimentary benefits check. Next is scheduling and travel coordination, followed by on-site intake medical evaluation and the development of an individualized treatment plan. Admissions walks you through insurance, timing, and travel logistics.
Safety is central: initial and ongoing medical assessment (vitals, labs as needed), structured mealtimes with trained meal support, multidisciplinary case review, and crisis-response protocols ensure medical and psychological needs are monitored closely throughout care.
The timeline from first call to admission varies by clinical need and insurance authorization. Admissions will provide an estimated timeline during the benefits check.
Local Community Resources
Remedy Therapy’s licensed residential campus is in Stuart and welcomes Florida residents traveling for care. Admissions can help coordinate travel and lodging.
Nearby clinical resources Sanford residents commonly use include The Renfrew Center Orlando (day treatment, intensive outpatient, and outpatient) for step-down and outpatient care. For pediatric/adolescent medical support, Orlando Health’s Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children and Nemours Children’s Health System provide specialty medical evaluation and referrals.
For community and peer support, national groups and virtual meetings from ANAD and The Alliance for Eating Disorders Awareness are useful supplements to local care.
Insurance, Payment & Practical Logistics
Remedy Therapy offers a complimentary insurance benefits check so you’ll know what your plan covers before admission. Treatment Advisors will contact your insurer and explain benefits, copays, and any out-of-pocket costs in plain language. Admissions can also discuss self-pay options and payment plans during the benefits review.
Practical logistics like travel coordination to the Stuart campus, arrival instructions, parking, and nearby family lodging recommendations are handled during pre-admission; note that travel costs (airfare, ground transport) are the client’s responsibility.
Aftercare & Relapse Prevention
Remedy builds discharge planning into every individualized treatment plan and coordinates step-down care so gains carry forward. Before you leave, the team arranges referrals to local outpatient therapists and dietitians, provides nutrition follow-up and relapse-prevention work in individual therapy, and connects clients with alumni supports and family education resources where appropriate.
