Long-term care for sustainable eating disorder recovery

 

Recovery That Lasts

Recovery isn’t a sprint; it’s a lifelong journey. While short-term treatment may stabilize symptoms, true healing requires time, trust, and continuous support. At Ianthe House, we offer a unique model of long-term care, combining evidence-based practices, peer support, and structured programs to ensure lasting recovery.

Our approach isn’t just about helping you recover; it’s about helping you thrive.

The Science of Long-Term Care

Short-Term Fixes vs. Sustainable Recovery

Short-term solutions often fail to address the underlying causes of eating disorders. Research shows that 50% of individuals relapse within the first year after completing brief treatment programs. Long-term care fills this gap, providing the time and space needed to tackle deep-seated challenges and build the resilience required for sustainable change.

How Long-Term Care Works

At Ianthe House, we focus on a phased approach, guiding participants through four key stages:

  • Establishing a secure foundation for healing.

  • Addressing emotional regulation and triggers.

  • Applying recovery tools in real-world settings.

  • Aligning your life with your authentic values and goals.

This structure empowers you to progress at a steady, sustainable pace, ensuring you’re fully equipped to handle life’s complexities.

How Long-Term Care Reduces Relapse

The Role of Peer Support

Recovery thrives in connection. In our Recovery Circles and co-living homes, you’ll find a community that understands your journey. Together, you’ll share challenges, celebrate wins, and hold each other accountable, significantly reducing the risk of relapse.

Practical Tools for Resilience

From daily WhatsApp check-ins to journaling and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), our programs provide practical tools to navigate setbacks and maintain progress. These techniques are evidence-based, effective, and designed to foster independence over time.

Why Long-Term Care Is Essential for High-Functioning Women

Balancing Recovery and Life

Healing Beyond the Surface

Long-term care provides the opportunity to address not just symptoms, but the root causes of disordered eating. It’s about breaking free from cycles of shame and fear, rediscovering your authentic self, and building a life that aligns with your values.
