Magnolia Creek offers two primary levels of treatment for eating disorders: Residential and Partial Hospitalization (PHP). Selecting the appropriate treatment program depends on a combination of factors: recommendations by your physician and therapist, your health condition and severity of the eating disorder, insurance coverage, as well as your own personal preferences and comfort level.
