‘‘The people at Castlewood Treatment Center saved my life. But they did more than that. They opened up my eyes to what life is all about, to all that I have to look forward to. I came in closed off from the world. The people here helped me find my strength. They didn’t just give me wings, they helped me find my own. They helped me realize I had the power to fly inside me all the time. I’m not just alive today because of the people here, but I’m actually living life as well.”
“We chose Castlewood very carefully. When my daughter started I had hope, bits of optimism, and of course some relief in seeing her downward spiral arrested. Almost a month later, I still felt those same things, but my daughter was voicing some optimism of her own. The degree to which the staff blend their perspectives with each client, including my daughter, is what returned her to life, and life to her. You were the reason she believed she might, then could, then would make it — and yours was the strength she ‘borrowed’ when hers wasn’t quite there.”
“It was very difficult to make the decision to send our 16 year old daughter to Castlewood for residential treatment of anorexia. However, we found quickly that Castlewood is a high quality and effective treatment center for eating disorders. Within 2 months of checking her in, she was back at home, well into her recovery, not only of her health and eating, but her life as a typical teenager. Castlewood's program is rigorous, diverse and intense. The dieticians, psychiatrists, and therapists have specialized knowledge and experience with eating disorders and work together to devise a recovery plan to meet the client's specific needs. They utilize a variety of treatments and approaches to therapy, focusing not only on restoring the client's health, but also on identifying and addressing the issues behind the eating disorder. The household staff is sincerely warm, empathetic and caring. Having originally been built as a residence, the facility provides a nurturing environment during the client's stay in a scenic and tranquil location. These factors all clearly contributed to the success of our daughter's recovery. We are forever thankful to Castlewood for helping us and our daughter through a very difficult time, and for providing our daughter with the support and life skills that she will be able to use throughout the rest of her life! ”
“Unlike so many treatment centers, Castlewood helps clients heal the pain that underlies their eating disorders rather than just manage the symptoms. The place is beautiful, not just in its physical setting, but also in the compassionate way the staff views and relates to the clients. I wish I could send them all my traumatized clients, not just those with eating disorders.”
