Summer is the best time for recovery

Encourage students to repair their food and body image struggles over the summer. Many students contact ACE asking, “I have two weeks until school starts. Can you help me recover before then?”

Well no, not very much.

Advise them to immediately seek treatment and make recovery the main priority of summer.
ACE offers a Jump Start Recovery Program for students who want to strengthen or recommit to their recovery plan. Many students find themselves picking up or slipping back into unhealthy habits and thought patterns concerning food and body image. The summer break can be an ideal time to learn or refresh those essential “making headway skills” that could keep them safe and healthy moving forward.

This 20-Session Jump Start Package includes:
(considered in-network for most insurance carriers)
• Individualized treatment through a concise, comprehensive, recovery curriculum.
• Daily e-mails of recovery tools and worksheets, inspirations and encouragements.
• Frequent individual therapy sessions and nutrition consultation.
• Recovery groups and meal groups, up to 8 hours a day if necessary.
• Family therapy to coach family members to help without being the “food police.”

The Atlanta Center for Eating Disorders offer a team of professionals, a comprehensive variety of therapy groups and programs ranging from 8 hours a day to outpatient individual, family or nutrition therapy. ACE has locations in Dunwoody, Alpharetta and Decatur. For more information, call 770.458.8711.
