Milestones follows a blended approach to treatment, addressing both the addictive and emotional aspects of an eating disorder. Residents attend a full schedule of activities during the day and participate in support groups during evenings and weekends. Unlike in a traditional hospital environment, Milestones affords an opportunity to recover in a less restrictive setting while still receiving the support and structure necessary to overcome an eating disorder. Most of the residential treatment program participants come from throughout the United States.
