Center for Discovery Atlanta is an outpatient eating disorder treatment center for patients of all genders and ages 10 and over who have been diagnosed with an eating disorder. It opened in January 2020 and is located near the 400 Freeway and the 141 Freeway. This outpatient program specializes treatment for each individual patient. In addition to receiving evidence-based therapies, patients all have the opportunity to put “joyful” back into movement through yoga and other activities. Discovery’s specialized binge eating disorder (BED) program, Path to Peace, is also offered at this location.
Insurances we accept include but are not limited to Aetna / Shaller Anderson/GHC, Employee Health Network (EHN), Humana (Life Sync), Multi-Plan and TriCare East – Humana. Please remember that the insurances we accept change frequently. Our insurance team will verify your coverage.
The eating disorder outpatient team is highly trained in eating disorders, including certifications in eating disorder treatment and abundant experience with high acuity patients.
