I traveled from NC for residential treatment for orthorexia and am honestly very disappointed. I heard great things about Alsana being good with orthorexia so wanted to try it. It was extremely subpar. There is an immense lack of support, it was almost shocking. For people with eating disorders who NEED encouragement and support and processing with meals, that was not done here. I verbalized that with my dietitian & the clinical director and they were able to individualize my treatment as much as they possibly could because ... read more
I went to Alsana twice in 2019 and 2020. They encouraged my binge eating in the name of HAES and supported my weight gain of over 50 pounds.

I attended Alsana for 6 weeks over the course of 2021. I was newly diagnosed EDNOS (though I had been knowingly struggling for years) and would like to note that this was my first time in ED Treatment. I came in with a tremendous amount of education regarding HAES, Medical Bias and Fatphobia and Eating Disorders in general, and I feel this is the only way I survived and made it out of this place. I am fully aware that no treatment center is without flaws, especially those that treat ED's due to the sheer complexity of the il... read more
Residential here saved my life. It was a wonderful experience. The staff genuinely cared. I would give 5 stars, however my experience in PHP here was the worst experience and the worst program I’ve ever been in. It often felt like the PHP staff didn’t care, the clients overheard PHP staff talking bad about us, and clients were transferring out of PHP or having to step up a lot. I felt extremely unsupported in PHP, as did many of my fellow clients. There were so many arguments within the PHP program between many clients and s... read more
