What Is The Intensive?

Our 8-day Intensive followed by our 10-week aftercare is our signature food addiction treatment program.  Patterned after inpatient treatment for addiction, this program has been successfully lifting people out of the trenches of food dependency for over 30 years. We have seen thousands of people start their journey towards freedom from food obsession in this state-of-the-art residential treatment program.

In just eight days, participants report a radical transformation in their relationship to food. They undergo detoxification from addictive foods, experience truly sober eating, and begin the recovery process of addressing underlying issues at a profound level.
