<p><strong>ABOUT THE RENFREW CENTER OF FLORIDA</strong></p> <p>The Renfrew Center of Florida, one of nearly 20 Renfrew Centers across the United States, offers <strong>specialized treatment for women and teenage girls with eating disorders</strong>, including anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating. <strong>Experiential therapies</strong>, individual and group therapy, and nutrition make up the structure of the center’s <strong>residential and outpatient programs</strong>.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>Women and adolescent girls struggling with eating disorders have several program options to choose from at Renfrew Center of Florida. Many programs offer women opportunity for self-expression in <strong>art therapy</strong> and for exploring the relationship to their feelings and bodies in <strong>dance therapy and psychodrama</strong>.</p> <p>At the highest level of care available, the <strong>residential treatment program</strong> provides women and girls with a recovery setting that is <strong>structured, supportive, and intensive</strong>. Participants are encouraged to share their challenges and successes with others, both in group and informal settings, and <strong>build new, supportive relationships</strong> with one another. In addition to these core offerings, the residential program has specialized tracks for <strong>substance use and trauma</strong>.</p> <p>Running five days a week, the <strong>day treatment program</strong> is designed both as a step-down option from residential care and as a structured, supportive alternative to it. Women similarly receive <strong>personalized plans</strong> organized around individual, group, and family therapy groups. Psychoeducational and/or experiential in nature, these groups address a range of issues including <strong>self-esteem, grief and loss, sexuality, body image, and eating patterns</strong>.</p> <p>Meeting three nights a week, the <strong>intensive outpatient program (IOP)</strong> is ideal for those seeking assistance after work or school. As with other tracks, women in IOP attend <strong>group-based treatment</strong> focused on coping skills. <strong>Group therapy</strong> is a fourth and final option intended for those unable to commit to the prior three.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>The clinical team at Renfrew Center of Florida consists of a licensed psychologist, a <strong>registered dietician</strong>, and an eating disorders specialist, a widely published author and lecturer whose works spans more than 30 years.</p> <p>Women in residential treatment also have access to physicians, a 24-hour nursing staff, a <strong>full-time medical practitioner</strong>, and <strong>creative arts therapists</strong>.</p> <p><strong>ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES</strong></p> <p>Women receive “three basic meal plans” based on their unique nutritional needs. Those with <strong>special dietary restrictions</strong>, including food allergies, vegetarianism, and Kosher, can also be met upon request.</p> <p>In addition, five Rehabs.com survey respondents gave the center average ratings of 4.4 and 4.6 stars out of five, respectively, for its accommodations and meals.</p> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p><strong>All three women surveyed by Rehabs.com to date had positive things to share on their personal recovery experiences</strong>. An anonymous alum called the Renfrew Center “a wonderful pace to recover,” and former client M.S. “greatly enjoyed this facility.”</p> <p>Nina, a third reviewer, told of “awesome” primary therapists and a helpful treatment process that incorporates a client’s unique needs. “There are also negatives,” she confessed. “It is very strict, there is a level system so people can just work the system to be released, etc.”</p> <p><strong>WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY</strong></p> <p><strong>Feedback from two loved ones was more mixed</strong>. An anonymous relative, the only Rehabs.com reviewer to have shared less than four stars for treatment effectiveness, felt that the program was “Not very effective” for women with co-occurring addiction issues, in addition to an eating disorder. Still, they deemed the Renfrew Center of Florida a “nice facility” with staff who “seem to really care, for the most part.”</p> <p>Also highlighting what they found to be a “Caring staff,” another loved one succinctly told Rehabs.com: “Client came home better.”</p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>According to its website, the Renfrew Center works with most managed care companies and has preferred provider status with many private insurance plans.</p> <p>Two of the five Rehabs.com survey respondents (both loved ones) complained either of pricey treatment or insurance issues.</p>
