<p><strong>ABOUT AVALON HILLS</strong></p> <p>Located in Logan, Utah, Avalon Hills is nestled in the Rocky Mountains. The center provides residential services <strong>to female teens and adults with eating disorders</strong>. Avalon Hills’ approach is client based, and creates an individualized plan for each person.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>According to Avalon Hills’ website, there are six stages of the treatment process at Avalon Hills: intake and treatment planning, awareness and contemplation, exploration and preparation, action, transition management, and <a href="https://www.recovery.org/topics/extended-recovery-programs/" target="_blank">aftercare</a>.</p> <p>The intake process is three steps, which includes a detailed assessment, orientation to the program, and treatment planning. <strong>Each client is paired up with a primary therapist</strong> to help with each stage.</p> <p>During the awareness and contemplation stage, the clients start to <strong>identify key factors that led them to an eating disorder.</strong> That includes awareness of the psychological, biological, social, cultural, interpersonal, and spiritual factors.</p> <p>In the third stage, exploration and preparation, clients are expected to take ownership in their choices, and are ready to explore the consequences of their behavior.</p> <p>The action stage is when clients have decided that change is necessary, and are willing to <strong>experiment with new ways of thinking</strong>, behaving, relating, and coping.</p> <p>The center’s website indicates that transition management is the last stage of treatment. During this stage, clients focus on preparing to leave, and the challenges that await them.</p> <p>During aftercare, the center follows-up with clients after discharge to ensure continuity of recovery.</p> <p>The center <strong>utilizes a combination of evidence-based treatment, forms of therapy,</strong> and the latest in applied brain science during each stage. Physicians are open to all forms of experimental care.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>According to the center’s website, the treatment team includes multiple therapists, nurses, dietitians, neurofeedback technicians, a yoga instructor, and case managers.</p> <p><strong>ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES</strong></p> <p>The center’s website indicates the treatment homes are located in the Rocky Mountains of “Cache Valley." According to photos published on the centers website, rooms are shared decor is bright and modern. There are separate homes for adults and adolescents.</p> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p>The one alumni that was surveyed by Rehabs.com at the time of this writing gave a negative review. The alum gave the center one out of five stars when asked if they would recommend it. The alum also wrote: “Admissions will tell you anything to get you to come. what they tell you will often be far from the truth, once you arrive. you have to sign an arbitration agreement upon entering the facility. there is little to no privacy.”</p> <p>However, the 19 people who left reviews on the center’s Facebook page, which it manages, <strong>gave more positive reviews with 4.8 out of five stars</strong> at the time of this writing.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small> A couple alumni mentioned the center saved their lives. One wrote: “I've been free from my eating disorder for over 8 years now! This place saved my life and taught me so so much”</p> <p>On a slightly less positive note, Lori gave three stars and wrote: "I was there during a lot of major changes in the program and the staff and things seemed to fall apart right as I needed them most. I feel that I was let down at probably the most important point in my life."</p> <p><strong>WHAT STAFF SAY</strong></p> <p>Though Rehabs.com has yet to receive feedback from staff members, ratings elsewhere online were mostly positive to date. On Indeed, <strong>six ratings averaged four out of five stars</strong><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a></small>, and on Glassdoor, <strong>five ratings averaged 4.8 out of five stars</strong>.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-3"><sup>[3]</sup></a></small></p> <p>Many reviewers noted great co-workers and opportunities for experience in the field while also noting the stress of working with patients. <strong>A few also complained about poor upper management</strong>. "There is a huge lack of communication between direct care and upper management, and upper management often treats direct care like they are disposable and replaceable," said an anonymous staffer who gave four stars on Glassdoor. Yet another reviewer countered with, "Company cares about patients getting better. Great atmosphere. Beautiful location to work at- who doesn't love driving to the mountains and horses everyday."</p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>To date, information about costs and coverage are not available.</p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pg/avalonhills/reviews/?ref=page_internal" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/pg/avalonhills/reviews/?ref=page_internal</a></small><br /> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.indeed.com/cmp/Avalon-Hills/reviews" target="_blank">https://www.indeed.com/cmp/Avalon-Hills/reviews</a></small><br /> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-3"><sup>[3]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/Avalon-Hills-Eating-Disorder-Programs-Reviews-E1375410.htm" target="_blank">https://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/Avalon-Hills-Eating-Disorder-Programs-Reviews-E1375410.htm</a></small></p>
