Why Choose Milestones in South Florida for
Eating Disorder Treatment
When families are comparing eating disorder treatment options, the closest option is not always the most personal one. Milestones may be the right fit for families who want specialized care in a smaller, warmer setting.
Milestones combines specialized eating disorder care with a real-world environment where clients are supported as whole people, not just diagnoses.
A Smaller, More Personal Treatment Setting
Milestones combine specialized eating disorder treatment within a real-world setting. Participants are supported as whole people and are part of their own treatment team!
26 Years of Specialized Eating Disorder Treatment
Milestones has helped individuals and families navigate eating disorder recovery for more than two decades.
Intimate, non-corporate
Residents are given opportunities to be active participants with their dedicated therapist and nutrition professional. You are part of a therapeutic community with a common purpose: recovery.
Apartment-Style Living
A comfortable, fully furnished apartment-style setting provides a “real-life” setting with an “at home” feel and not an institutional one.
Reality Recovery
You will grocery shop, learn meal preparation, and live a “healthy lifestyle.” With our continued support of our outpatient and alumni programs, you can bring home what you’ve practiced in treatment.
“We teach you how to fish rather than feed you a fish” as the saying goes!
Support When It Matters
Recovery can be difficult. With the support of a therapeutic community and 24/7 professionals on site, you are not alone.
You are a whole person here. Your story matters. Your routines matter. Your care should feel personal.
