Appetizers

M's Place, our PHP-ED Program is founded on the recovery of an adult woman, Meredith, who had an eating disorder and who found new strength in her journey of recovery. Her grandmother and The Columbus Foundation provided the seed money to open this program for those who have acute eating disorder symptoms and need daily structure and support to manage this illness.

Entrees

This program strives to provide excellent, evidence-based clinical care in an inviting and engaging setting. The program encourages and enhances the overall health and well being of all clients.

The small group experience allows the program the unique ability to be responsive in adapting daily programming to specific client needs.

The PHP program offers 24/7 access to medical support and/or DBT Coaching.

PHP-ED provides specialized and individually tailored eating disorder treatment to men and women, age 18 and above that consists of:

Individual therapy

Group therapy

Psychiatric medication and management

Medical monitoring daily

Family therapy

Nutritional counseling

Clients have weekly restaurant experiences to challenge them and help generalize recovery to every-day settings as their eating patterns stabilize.

Because this program is during the day, the family: parents, spouse, partners, loved ones, or friends-are critical in helping provide support and helpful containment of this illness. Family members are given tools to better understand their supportive role during required, weekly family groups. Family members are encouraged to attend the FED UP? GET FED Program (see Family Resources on this website).

Desserts

Clients may participate in unique expressive activities such as a poetry workshop and drumming circle to further increase creative outlets to aid in their recovery process.

New Menu Items

M's Place moved into its new home in April 2009! It is located on the Harding/OSU campus in the newly restored building M, next door to The Center's two other buildings, N & O.

The PHP treatment team is comprised of:
Medical Director/Psychiatrist
Program Director-Independently Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor
Groups leaders: Licensed Psychologists and Licensed Professional Counselors
Psychiatric Nurses
Case Management Clinicians: Licensed Professional Counselors
Dietitians: Licensed and Registered Dieticians
Level of Care Specialist: Licensed Independent Social Worker

Each client is seen by the medical director and psychiatric nurse at least three times each week for examination, assessment, and medical management.

Clients have one hour of group weekly with the Psychiatrist/Medical Director and Psychiatric Nurse to discuss medication management issues, anxiety management, and general health concerns.

Helping clients interpret and synthesize new neurobiological research findings into individual and group therapy is just one of the unique features of this program.

Patients eat individually tailored balanced meals according to their own plan to restore and rebuild strength and balance. Structured nutrition groups offer opportunities for patients to plan and cook meals themselves and to try on and practice their meal plan in a supportive environment. Program food planning intentionally uses foods that clients are able to purchase at their local grocery store.

A Taste of Partial

"…Kudos to the staff for getting me through these past 7 weeks. You pushed me and held me, and I am so much better for having you in my life. You have given me the skills and tools to achieve wellness, and I am so thankful…"

"PHP saved my life…I have improved tremendously and I feel like I know myself better than I ever have before."

"…PHP was not easy, but it was what I needed to be able to live my life. I cannot imagine what recovery would have been like without the great staff. You may hit some bumps along the way, but take comfort in the fact that you will get better…"

"The PHP program along with the staff was wonderful! I felt very loved and cared for every day. Almost every activity, discussion helped me in some way. Everyone did a great, great job!"

"I feel that being treated as a unique individual with very specific needs has been very helpful. I think even in a group setting I still felt I received the attention and help I needed. My experience in PHP was a wonderful family type of bonding. Staff and other patients became part of my life which I will never forget. I would (and have) recommended The Center to others. Thank you to all of you!"

"Individual relationships formed with therapists and peers… sharing experiences with peers and reducing shame and stigma associated with diagnosis" (were helpful).
