For those on a vegetarian or vegan
diet that have an eating disorder, generally it’s been very difficult to find
in-patient treatment. Alsana is now offering a program.
They say, “Spearheaded by our vice president of clinical nutrition
services, Tammy Beasley, our Alsana leadership team worked tirelessly for over
a year and a half to create a robust program for vegan clients that integrates
our high culinary standards within our in-depth treatment process. This
carefully and lovingly thought-out process has allowed us to confidently open
our doors to clients with eating disorders who are also following a vegan
lifestyle.”
Treating Vegan Clients
“We believe that full, sustained recovery is possible in clients practicing veganism. We also acknowledge that there is an additional challenge in treating these clients and are dedicated to helping them navigate their unique path to recovery. By incorporating our detailed veganism program within the five dimensions of Alsana’s Adaptive Care™ Model (medical, movement, nutrition, clinical, and relational) we see vegan clients achieve recovery alongside their non-vegan peers.”
