# Eating Disorder Residential Treatment Program
## What is a Residential treatment program?
Residential treatment at NewCircle provides 24/7, immersive care for individuals with eating disorders who need greater support than outpatient or partial programs can offer.
We offer programming for both teens (13+) and adults of all genders and identities, designed for those in need of structure, medical monitoring, and focused therapeutic care. Combining evidence-based treatment with relational and creative approaches, daily rituals include individual therapy, group therapy, group sessions, supported meals, and time for reflection and joy in our thoughtfully designed residence. Every part of the program is tailored for whole-person care.
## A place of healing and belonging
We firmly believe that healing doesn’t happen in isolation, but instead occurs in community. In our residential program, you’re met with compassion and respect from the moment you arrive. Whether you’re navigating anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, ARFID, or another eating disorder, our residential treatment program offers a safe landing place to recognize and disrupt old patterns, discover a new relationship with nourishment, and restore your sense of self.
This is a place for realignment with your body, your values, and your life beyond the disorder. Our team is here to listen and provide you with the support you need for true healing.
## Benefits of Residential treatment
## 24/7 Support and Monitoring
Round-the-clock care from a multidisciplinary team in a safe, structured setting.
## Warm, Healing Environment
Cozy spaces, soft lighting, and communal areas designed for rest and connection—not clinical sterility.
## Integrated Medical and Psychiatric Care
On-site providers help stabilize physical health and support co-occurring conditions like anxiety, depression, or OCD.
## Meal and Nutrition Support
Supervised meals, nutrition education and workshops, and support from registered dietitians to rebuild trust with food.
## Trauma-Informed Therapy
Individual and group sessions using DBT, CBT, ACT, and somatic approaches that honor your lived experience.
## Creative and Movement Therapies
Art therapy, yoga, dance/movement, music, ceramics, and experiential activities to support full-body healing.

Begin your healing journey in a space designed for restoration. Our admissions team is here to guide you with warmth, transparency, and care. Whether you’re ready now or just exploring, we’re here to listen and support your next step.

## How it works
## Admissions & Intake
We begin with a collaborative intake process, including a thorough clinical assessment, medical history, and a conversation about your needs and goals. Our team creates a customized plan just for you.
## Settling Into Residential Care
Once admitted, you’ll join a community of peers in a supportive environment. You’ll engage in daily therapy, meal support, creative groups, and structured routines—all designed to help you feel safe and seen.
## Transition Planning & Step-Down
As healing progresses, we begin planning your next step. This may include stepping down to PHP, IOP, or outpatient care. We work closely with you and your support system to ensure a thoughtful, supported transition.
## What happens after Residential treatment?
Recovery is ongoing—and we stay connected. After residential care, most clients transition to a lower level of support such as PHP or IOP, where they continue therapeutic work while gradually reintegrating into daily life. Our team helps you build a sustainable aftercare plan that may include:
- Ongoing therapy or support groups
- Nutrition and meal support
- Relapse prevention strategies
- Family involvement or coaching
- Referrals to local providers when needed
You’ll leave with a clearer sense of self, tools for staying grounded, and a community that’s still here when you need us.
### 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.”*
