Appreciate the philosophy and the experiences with the staff

I really appreciate the philosophy and the experiences with the staff I did have there. I just wish there would not have been as much change over and things would have been more in place, but understand that was tough since it had just changed administration.

A Perfect Fit For Me

Kat made my treatment stay the best it could have been and was a perfect fit for me.

Thank You Alsana For Everything!

Thank You Alsana For Everything! I am learning how to manage my urges for self harm, suicidal ideation, and ED behaviors. I am now able to eat a wider variety of foods and am learning how to form an identity outside my eating disorder. I also have a bigger support group that includes people in recovery. Of all the treatment centers, this is the best place i have gone to, particularly because of the trauma work they do there.

I feel solid and secure in my journey to freedom

I’ve been to 10 treatment centers and this is the best experience i have ever had. I feel solid and secure in my journey to freedom. My team was compassionate, staff was flexible, and it was a very safe space for my soul to be open.  Highly recommend.

Felt like an honor getting to be here

Sarah Perry is one of the dopest people I’ve ever had the privilege of working with and it’s genuinely felt like an honor getting to be here. It is the saddest day to be leaving here

Very pleased that the team helped me towards my goals

Communication with nursing staff was my only concern and it was addressed and rectified. I was very pleased that the team helped me towards MY GOALS and that they were on my (healthy) side to help me regain my life apart from my ED.

Am grateful I stuck it out

I was nervous being in treatment with all of the big changes happening, but am grateful I stuck it out. Nothing is different between Alsana and Castlewood, except that they are forming better ways to adequately help everyone and their individual needs. I think the program is going in a great direction.

I have learned a lot since coming to Alsana

I have learned a lot since coming to Alsana and I appreciate the staff being well educated about eating disorders and the real issues behind them.

I am on the path to knowing how to “love all of me”

The changes that I have experienced in myself are an unwaivering forgiveness and acceptance to be with all the experiences and emotions that arise.  I feel the staff deeply cares for who I am as a person; they have seen my humanness.  And in doing so, have show me how to see my own self and accept “her” as she is.  I feel that I can say I am on the path to knowing how to “love all of me”.

I loved all the staff!

I loved all of the staff here. They were very helpful in getting me through my treatment. I do not have a bad word to say about anyone. They pushed me when I needed to be pushed and were there for me when I needed a little extra help during the day.
