Center for Discovery Edmonds is a high level of care treatment center located in Southwest Washington that opened in November 2009 and treats patients of all genders ages 11-17 years with serious eating disorders. The Edmonds location caters to all adolescent patients who reside in the Pacific Northwest including Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Alaska and Montana.

Center for Discovery Edmonds works closely with the community to help organize educational events. The eating disorder program believes in integrating their patients into the community by bringing them to local malls, restaurants and bakeries to practice skills they will need once they successfully complete treatment. This treatment center integrates art therapy and family therapy into the treatment approach as a way to make every patient feel at home. Residential treatment at Center for Discovery Edmonds works closely with teenage patients and their families to develop safe boundaries, establish weight restoration, treat co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders, learn positive coping skills, develop a safe and healthy relationship with food, maintain a healthy support structure and treat the underlying triggers associated with the eating disorder.

Dietary Program: Handling Eating Disorder Treatment with CARE

Healing, growth and a positive relationship with food is possible with the Center for Discovery Dietary Program. Our approach the CARE-CFD Model, which stands for “consistent attuned relational eating.” This means patients have the steadiness of a dietary plan that is adaptable to what’s happening in their life. The CARE-CFD Model embraces: trauma-focused nutrition therapy; collaboration between patients and the care team; responsiveness to the whole body, including being in tune with the nervous system; and weight inclusivity.
