Castlewood is located in a tranquil, secluded environment just 25 minutes from the international airport in St. Louis, Missouri. In addition to state-of-the-art care, our facility is a testimonial to the healing power of nature’s ever-renewing beauty. We also offer a number of distinct advantages rarely found in other programs:
We allow only ten residential clients supported by 33 caring, professional staff members.
We provide specific treatment for the eating disorder, as well as co-occurring disorders, whether you have obsessive-compulsive disorders, social anxiety disorder, major depression, multiple addictions or other conditions.
. We do not simply address eating disorders alone, while ignoring underlying foundational issues. For clients with a history of childhood or adult trauma, we offer state-of-the-art therapies to help our clients resolve the original causes of the eating disorders.
All of our therapy staff have had training in Internal Family Systems Therapy, so we can work together with our client to discover healthier coping strategies. This methodology is particularly effective with eating disorders.
Our goal is to help launch a person in his or her development toward a fuller life. This includes transitioning to college, a job and meaningful relationships.
We have found that most clients have some degree of relapse following the intensive support of the in-house program. To improve success rates, we began a Stepdown Program that allows clients the freedom to practice rebounding from the inevitable slips. Clients receive support from peers, implement relapse prevention plans and continue with customized, individual therapy. We then monitor you closely for six months after you leave.
We schedule Family Weeks every 6-8 weeks. Clients invite all interested family members to 3 days of group and individualized treatment. We also schedule additional individualized family therapy and couples therapy with spouses between Family Weeks.
People with Bulimia, Binge Eating Disorders and/or Anorexia are constantly punishing themselves internally with negative self-talk. When working towards recovery, one needs people who understand this phenomenon and offer reflection with compassion rather than criticism.
Our staff specializes in the areas of: nutrition, nursing, psychiatry, psychology, behavioral therapy, dance and movement, body image and dysmorphia, psychodrama, family therapy, EMDR, Internal Family Systems, Hypnosis, life-coaching, alcohol and sexual addiction, anxiety disorders and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and sexual abuse, Social Anxiety and more.
