Walking through the doors of Milestones and working its program is one of the best decisions I have ever made for myself. As someone who's had the pleasure of attending their residential program twice, I've seen how Milestones can transform lives, including my own. They were able to restore so much hope, community, and healing back into my life when I was at very low points. I felt deeply seen, valued, accepted, and understood in ways that would be impossible for me to explain in this review. Their commitment to maintaining a boutique-style approach also creates a sense of family and sincerity among the staff and patients that you will not find at any other (traditional) treatment center. Not to mention the opportunity to grocery shop with the dietitian, cook your own ingredients/meals in your own apartment kitchen, receive EMDR therapy, leave on pass during the designated pass hours on the weekends, and everything else in between that sets Milestones apart from the traditional care you get at other treatment centers. Milestones is truly an outlier and actively strives towards doing bigger, better, and different.
The methodology behind their program is captured through their acronym SMERF – spirituality, meditation, exercise, rest, and food plan. Anyone with an ED knows that there are more factors that affect recovery than just the food itself. It's nice working with a team that cares not just about what, when, and how much you are eating, but also how you are sleeping, how you are moving and resting, how you are connected spiritually, and how you structure your habits and overall lifestyle. For me, this made the work I was doing with my therapist and dietitian much more individualized, meaningful, and impactful. They also thrive off a healthy balance between structure and flexibility, which is one of the things I love most about this place. It gave me the perfect amount of routine in my day-to-day to help me stabilize, but also enough independence to teach me that if I am capable of doing the work while in treatment, then I am also capable of doing the work once I leave treatment. Their program is intentionally designed to replicate real life as closely as possible so that what you do during your time in treatment is actually applicable to what you are going to be doing once you discharge. They want you to feel prepared for your transition home and to have long-lasting recovery. I also felt like I had a voice in my own recovery journey, which I think is difficult to find specifically in the world of ED treatment. Not once did I feel like I couldn’t speak my truth to my team or that I had to hesitate to say what my goals and desired outcomes were for recovery. They will listen to what you have to say while still using their professional judgment to challenge you when necessary. I’ve worked with a lot of therapists and dietitians before attending Milestones, and I have never come across professionals as good as Sakinah, Leidy, and Nikki. They are passionate about and knowledgeable in what they do, and it bleeds into the care they provide to the patients. They are the best!!!
Highly, highly recommend Milestones to anyone thinking about treatment or even questioning their relationship with food/exercise/body. Once you attend Milestones for the first time, you will forever be a part of the family. Your care extends well beyond your discharge date, and the staff will always welcome you back with open arms in the event you ever need additional support. You deserve to live the life that you are meant to step into, and Milestones will help get you there.
