Mirasol Eating Disorder Recovery Centers

Alternative Treatment for Anorexia, Bulimia and Binge Eating

Mirasol is a residential center dedicated to integrative treatment of anorexia, bulimia and compulsive eating. We believe that eating disorders are the result of chronic stress and trauma, and emphasize therapies that have proven successful in the treatment of other stress-related conditions.

Our multidisciplinary treatment team consists of psychiatrists, psychotherapists, nurses, doctors and dietitians who work closely with practitioners of alternative medicine, including neurofeedback, bodywork, Oriental medicine, EMDR and adventure therapy.

Instead of focusing on suppressing eating disorder symptoms, we identify the root of the problem and develop new ways of communicating and coping that restore and maintain overall balance. We believe that the skills we teach are more effective and longer lasting than restrictive protocols, and provide the opportunity to practice those skills in a safe environment that supports change.

We offer residential treatment programs for teen girls ages 12 to 17 and for women ages 18 and up. In addition, our new Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) offers short-term, effective eating disorder treatment for adolescent (both male and female) ages 12 to 17.

With a 3:1 staff-client ratio, we offer extraordinary individual attention and tailor our programs to the individual client's needs.

Small, intimate residences (limited to a maximum of 10 clients) in Territorial-style homes in southern Arizona's fabulous Sonoran Desert provide a secure and serene environment for healing.

Mirasol's Medical Director is a naturopathic physician, and our clinicians use non-pharmaceutical alternatives whenever possible to enhance and restore the body's natural ability to combat illness.

Mirasol clients rediscover normal eating with individual meal plans and guidance from our staff dietitians.
