The clinical rigor is real.
So is the community.
So is the laughter.

Walking into NewCircle feels different.
That’s intentional.

Our privately owned Alabama treatment center is built on trauma-informed care and centered on the whole person behind the diagnosis. We provide Residential, PHP, and IOP care for teens (13+) and adults of all identities, body sizes, and lived experiences. Our care is empathy-driven by a staff that chose to be here and programming that goes well beyond the therapy room.

What we treat

We provide compassionate care for a full range of eating disorders. We believe every person who walks through our doors deserves to be seen and supported.

Anorexia Nervosa

Anorexia often begins as a pursuit of control but can become isolating, filled with fear and disconnection from the body’s needs. At NewCircle, we gently guide individuals back toward nourishment, safety, and trust. Our multidisciplinary approach integrates medical, nutritional, and emotional support in a non-judgmental space.

Bulimia nervosa

Bulimia Nervosa is often hidden in plain sight, marked by cycles of bingeing and purging, and fueled by shame, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm. We help interrupt this cycle with compassion and evidence-based care, helping clients build healthier coping tools, restore body trust, and rediscover self-worth.

Binge Eating Disorder

Binge Eating Disorder is not a lack of willpower. It is a deeply human response to unmet emotional needs, stress, trauma, or chronic deprivation. We offer a safe, shame-free space to explore root causes and rebuild a healthier relationship with food and body.

ARFID

(Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder)
ARFID is not about body image. It is often rooted in fear, sensory sensitivity, past trauma, or a history of medical complications. We approach treatment with patience and curiosity, helping clients expand safe foods and build a more peaceful relationship with nourishment.

OSFED

(Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorder)
OSFED is one of the most common, and least understood, eating disorders. At NewCircle, we take it seriously. We treat the underlying pain, not just the diagnosis, with the same compassionate, evidence-based care we bring to every condition.

NewCircle Reviews

“After my whole life of never being sure I could get help, this place blew me out of the water. I have fully graduated out of the program and my life is forever changed. All of the staff are amazing individuals who are there to really change lives. The facility is beautiful and has so many amazing qualities that it would take me pages to describe them. If you need help, I HIGHLY recommend here!”

“New Circle really did change my life for the better. I completed two months of Res and a month of PHP. The RC’s (especially Timmy) are fantastic and wonderful. Larry is the best intake coordinator in the WORLD (so kind and communicative!). The clinicians helped me work through so many struggles and to build a support system at home. This treatment program is SO individualized; it is able to meet the needs of so many individuals. There are so many things I could say, so I will leave it on this note…. If you are considering coming to New Circle, yes. Come, without a doubt. I am in a larger body, and that did not negatively impact my treatment whatsoever. I felt very accepted by staff. After struggling with my eating disorder from early childhood into adulthood, I’m finally able to see a life for myself without bulimia.”

Frequently asked questions

You’re not expected to have all the answers. That’s what we’re here for.


Whether you’re exploring treatment for yourself or someone you love, these are some of the questions we hear most often. If you do not see what you are looking for, please reach out. We will walk through it together.

No. You don’t need a diagnosis, a referral, or a certain number on a scale to deserve support. If something feels off in your relationship with food, your body, or yourself, that’s enough of a reason to call. We’ll have a real conversation about what you’re experiencing and help you figure out what, if anything, makes sense as a next step. There’s no pressure and no commitment required. Just reach out. (205) 848-4514

We treat the full range of eating disorders: anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, ARFID, OSFED, and disordered eating patterns that don’t fit neatly into any category. We also support co-occurring conditions like anxiety, depression, OCD, and trauma, because eating disorders rarely show up alone.

If you’re not sure whether what you’re experiencing qualifies, please don’t let that stop you from calling. You don’t need to arrive with a label. We’ll figure it out together.

You don’t have to figure that out on your own — that’s exactly what our intake process is for. When you reach out, our admissions team will walk through a thorough clinical assessment with you, looking at medical needs, emotional readiness, daily functioning, and what’s going on at home. From there, we’ll recommend the level of care that fits best, whether that’s our Residential program, PHP, or IOP, and we’ll explain why. If something changes during treatment and a different level of support makes more sense, we adjust. Recovery isn’t a straight line, and our care isn’t either.

Absolutely. We are a weight-inclusive, LGBTQIA+ affirming, culturally competent, trauma-informed center. Some of our staff belong to these communities themselves. We welcome individuals of all sizes, backgrounds, and identities with respect and compassion. Everyone deserves to feel safe in treatment.

Yes. We offer specialized treatment tracks for adolescents, typically starting at age 13. Our teen programming includes age-appropriate therapy, academic support, and family involvement—designed to meet teens where they are developmentally and emotionally.

Adolescents have unique emotional, social, and developmental needs. Our teen program emphasizes family therapy, peer connection, and building emotional regulation skills in a safe, structured environment. We also coordinate care with schools and pediatric providers to support healing both inside and outside of treatment.

After a thorough intake assessment, we will recommend the level of care that fits best—whether Residential, PHP, or IOP. We consider medical safety, emotional readiness, home environment, and daily functioning when helping you choose the right path.

Yes. We work with many major insurance providers. Our admissions team will help verify your benefits, explain your coverage, and handle much of the coordination so you can focus on healing.

Yes. For both teens and adults, we believe true, lasting healing often requires the support of loved ones. We offer support and education sessions incorporating your loved ones, to help build trust, understanding, and long-term support systems.

Each day includes a balance of structured therapeutic work and space for rest and reflection. Clients engage in individual therapy, group sessions, meal support, movement or mindfulness practices, and community-building activities—all within a warm, nature-integrated environment.
