An innovative eating disorder treatment philosophy, dynamic professionals, and a serene environment work synergistically to maximize recovery from anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder.
This intensive program is custom designed for women struggling with anorexia nervosa, bulimia, binge eating disorder and obesity. We are well-equipped to treat women with dual diagnoses as well.
The biochemical relationship between the body, nutrition, and mental health are assessed for each person. Treatment is not directed at symptoms per se, but at the underlying imbalance that produces them.
Mirasol's primary residential treatment program offers twice as many weekly client therapy hours as other treatment programs. The weekends are structured with workshops covering a range of topics from assertiveness training to sexuality, spirituality and art therapy.

Mirasol's new Transformational Living Center offers a supportive and structured environment for women who are recovering from eating disorders, sexual trauma, affective disorders and similar behavioral health issues.
The Transformational Living Center is a place where women in early recovery can rebuild their lives as active, independent adults with the support of a specialized treatment team and a therapeutic community of women working toward shared goals.
Mirasol's Transformational Living Center is founded upon the same principles of integrative medicine as our primary treatment center, with additional emphasis on group therapy and "real world" practical skills the client will be able to take with her in recovery. Daily schedules are carefully tailored to the individual's needs, and modified to incorporate part-time work, school or volunteer opportunities as she progresses on her path to full recovery.
Each day begins with community breakfast where clients share their recovery goals and the steps they will take to achieve them. The morning is devoted to a meditation group, individual therapy, biofeedback and personal growth journaling. The clients work with a registered dietitian to develop and follow a meal plan, and they share meal planning and preparation with Mirasol's renowned chefs.
Morning and afternoon process groups cover a wide range of topics including:
|
· Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) · Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) · Co-dependency · Relationship development |
· Healthy communication · Sexuality · Empowerment · Neurofeedback |
· Meal planning · Body image · Women's health |
A busy day wraps up with gentle yoga and free time before and after dinner. In the evening, clients may choose to attend family support, EDA, AA, Al-Anon or CODA meetings in the community.
Mirasol's Transformational Living Center is very rigorous, with residents participating in some form of therapy for several hours each day. However, we also build in opportunities for exercise and recreation that take advantage of our spectacular desert environment. Therapeutic outings can include camping, hiking, challenge courses, trips to the Arizona Sonoran Desert Museum, Tucson Botanical Gardens, Saguaro National Monument or Mount Lemmon, a +9000-foot "sky island" on the northern edge of Tucson.
I really appreciate howI felt like I was trusted and really allowed to be myself. I feel like I am really getting a start to having my life back and I love Mirasol for that!
