Tapestry is unique from most residential eating disorders programs in the United States because it is a voluntary, community based program. Because Tapestry is voluntary, it is an excellent program for motivated self starting women who want to make positive changes in their lives. However, it is not for every woman who has an eating disorder. The length of treatment varies, but the average is six to eight weeks, and may require up to six months for maximum therapeutic effectiveness. Your motivation and the severity of the disorder influence the length and level of recommended care. We provide continuing support and follow-up to help you maintain and grow your healing process. Certified Life Coaching is a significant aspect of our follow-up approach.

Your first question might be "how is it different from other programs?" While Tapestry’s many treatment elements may be similar to other programs, our core abiding principle is centered around your individual needs, your willingness, and your voluntary participation. In Tapestry, you are not a diagnosis; you are a human who is struggling to regain control in her life. Upon entry, you design your treatment program with your assigned therapist. Goals are identified collaboratively and reviewed regularly as part of your individualized program. We do not lock cabinets, bathrooms, doors or refrigerators. You may also come and go from the residence. Of course, all trips outside of the residence must be for therapeutic purposes.

Our emphasis is on health, balance and well-being--physically, psychologically, spiritually and nutritionally. We partner with you to reach your goals and will assist you in achieving the steps necessary for ongoing recovery. We do not focus on the end product but emphasize the journey on a daily basis. The treatment focus is on building self esteem, inner strength, spirituality and incorporating positive life experiences. We offer structure, support, and daily therapeutic programming and maintain a small staff to client ratio to insure staff members remain in touch with your individualized goals.

Most importantly, we believe that if you can learn to live in an environment that more closely resembles your life outside of treatment, you can more readily succeed when you return home. In order to craft a calm and more home-like environment, we serve no more than six program participants at a time. Our team's focus is for you to learn how to make self motivated choices that serve you in your recovery and help you to build a new foundation of empowerment and self esteem.

You will find our residence to be a haven for insight, comfort, and support.
