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.
