We offer comprehensive Eating Disorder programs at the Residential, Partial Hospitalization (PHP), and Intensive Outpatient (IOP)levels of care for male and female patients. We individualize care to address the co-existing disorders such as Depression, Anxiety, Substance Use Disorders, Trauma/PTSD and Obsessive Compulsive Disorders as well as core underlying issues. Each patient works with a multidisciplinary team of highly trained professional staff including a psychiatrist, licensed mental health professionals, and nutrition staff. Our multidisciplinary team addresses the mental, nutritional, emotional and spiritual needs of each person. We work closely with our patients to develop and practice healthy coping skills to replace deeply rooted self-destructive patterns. We are dedicated to go beyond diagnosis and symptom management so that each patient addresses all issues to fully understand their personal recovery needs.

Milestones provides residential as well as day treatment programs for individuals suffering with Compulsive Overeating, Bulimia , Anorexia , and related disorders. We are a therapeutic community whose mission is to offer a supportive environment from which to begin a new way of life... a life way we refer to as "recovery." Milestones follows a "blended" approach to treatment - addressing both the "addictive" and emotional aspects of an eating disorder. Residents attend a full schedule of group and individual activities during the day as well as participate in various support groups during evenings and weekends. Grocery shopping, meal preparation, and "real world" experiences are an integral part of the program. Unlike a traditional hospital environment, Milestones affords an opportunity to recover in a less restrictive setting while still receiving the support and structure necessary to overcome an eating disorder. Residential Treatment accepts both local and out of area residents, with most of the program's participants coming to us from throughout the United States Located in South Florida, Milestones is near two major airports in the South Florida area.

Anorexia , bulimia , binge-eating disorder, body dysmorphic disorder, orthorexia, and other forms of disordered eating are serious illnesses that can have devastating outcomes. When eating disorders are accompanied by other mental health concerns, the challenge can become significantly more complex. Unfortunately, many people who struggle with eating disorders are also living with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or other effects of untreated trauma. In clinical terms, trauma refers to the psychological impact of life-threatening events, such as physical attacks, sexual assault, emotional abuse, military combat, acts of terrorism, automobile accidents, or natural disasters. Without proper care, people who are struggling with PTSD or other forms of untreated trauma may engage in a variety of self-defeating behaviors, including disordered eating, in an attempt to cope with or distance themselves from their emotional pain. The good news about this sad reality is that eating disorders , PTSD, and trauma are treatable. When a person who is living with these challenges receives comprehensive, personalized care, they can achieve and maintain long-term recovery.
