What Role Does Family Have in Your Healing?
We value relationships and align with the research that points to the benefit of family-based therapy for eating disorders and recovery. At Opal, we believe that Family+Relationship therapy is integral to a client’s treatment plan. Through our family-based therapy for eating disorders, we create opportunities that promote healthy relationships and effective relational boundaries for our clients and whomever they identify as their family. It is our hope that in providing supportive experiences with clients’ family and loved ones that their “real world” will be more suited to support the recovery they have experienced while at Opal.
Family-Based Therapy for Eating Disorders at Opal
Weekly Family Sessions
One aspect of this program is weekly Family+Relationship sessions for each PHP client, as well as IOP clients who choose to do so. These are held with the client and the people in their life they identify as key to their healing and recovery.
Weekly Group Sessions
We also host our weekly Family+Relationship group on Tuesdays. These evenings rotate between a group learning experience and a process/discussion group. During our group learning experiences we discuss topics like communication, love languages, Opal’s philosophy about food and movement and an array of other topics pertinent to a client’s support system being effective supporters.
