Acute Care    Residential Care    Partial Day Care    Magnolia House    Outpatient Care

As you progress in your treatment at Laureate, your professional team will remain constant. This way, you're always surrounded by those professionals who have provided support and helped you move forward in your therapy.

Acute Care
Our acute care clinic serves women with eating disorders who need close supervision for either psychiatric or medical reasons. Patients in this unit receive medical attention through physiological monitoring, and are assessed for psychiatric medications and other agents to help stabilize their condition.

Residential Care
Once a patient is psychologically and medically stable, she can move to our residential care units. This reduces the amount of nursing supervision required, which in turn reduces the cost of care. Adolescents remain in the same unit, while adults move to a supervised home/dormitory-like setting on the hospital grounds.

Partial Day Program
This level of care is for individuals who spend either all or part of their day/evening at Laureate, but reside off hospital grounds.

Magnolia House
Once a patient has completed the first three levels of care, she has the option of entering Magnolia House, the group home on the Laureate campus specifically for our adult eating disorder patients.

Residents of Magnolia House practice "living" in recovery either by enrolling in school, working or volunteering in the community. Each night, residents participate in a group dinner and group session with the Magnolia House coordinator. Weekly meal outings and group session for current and past residents of Magnolia House are also on the schedule.

Magnolia House is open to anyone who has completed treatment at another facility. We do ask that women who transfer to Laureate spend at least two weeks in our partial care program before entering the group home. Each treatment center, however, has its own criteria for discharge, so some patients may need more time in our program before being admitted to Magnolia House.

Outpatient Care
We recommend this level of care for someone who is new to treatment or whose symptoms do not require a more intensive setting. Laureate can provide individual, family and group psychotherapy, as well as nutrition counseling and medication therapy, all with minimum disruption to work, school and family commitments.
