A little about us

Harmony Grove is located in beautiful San Diego, California, and will provide guests with beds and accommodations during their stay at the treatment facility. They are highly qualified for the work that they do and giving help for eating disorder is their specialty.

It is important work. The death rate for those with anorexia, bulimia and so forth is between 2 and 25 percent. The goal of every treatment facility to lower that statistic to zero. Detecting an eating disorder is the first step to take before seeking treatment. Look for signs like self-starvation, rapid or violent mood swings, self-deprecating thoughts and pour moods that seem to dominate a person’s usually sunny personality. A person with an eating disorder will often seclude themselves and avoid putting themselves in a position where they have to eat in front of others. This usually stems from the fact that they seem themselves as physically imperfect, therefore they ‘contract’ an eating disorder in order to correct their imperfections. Behavior such as this can lead to serious health problems and, in some cases, death.

What to expect at Harmony Grove

The Day Treatment and Outpatient program will provide 5-day per week transportation to their comfortable facility. They provide over twenty hours of groups and therapy for the enrolled patient. They are designed to help you eat healthily and to be able to plan your own diet and shop for food in a responsible and health-conscious manner. Women will also learn how to deal with the temptations of falling back into old, destructive habits and how to control their self-deprecating impulses – and get rid of them altogether.
