Eating Disorder Treatment Center

Residential and outpatient eating disorder treatment for adults and adolescents of all genders in Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, and Tennessee

At our Aster Springs eating disorder facilities, we believe people aren’t defined by their eating disorders. Each client we work with is unique and valued for who they are as a person. At our eating disorder treatment centers, we offer tailored treatment for adults and adolescents of all genders, ages 12 years and older (may vary by location). We take a whole-person, compassionate approach to care to help each client take the next step toward lasting recovery.

Levels of Care

At Aster Springs, we don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach to treatment. Our continuum of care ensures clients can step up or down into the appropriate level of care with a cohesive, dedicated treatment team that works with our trusted clinical partners to help transition clients to traditional outpatient and aftercare programs. Our full continuum of care is offered in central Virginia and coming in early 2023, we’re expanding to an additional eight beds.

“I've never felt more secure leaving a treatment center than while discharging from Aster Springs. The staff made me feel seen while going through recovery. I had a voice in how treatment looked and felt comfortable communicating to my treatment team. As I leave Aster Springs, I now know how to navigate my ED and will be constantly looking back at all the wonderful advice given to me by staff (who are some of the best people I've ever met).”

Frequently Asked Questions

The first step is to call one of our facilities to speak with a knowledgeable and compassionate team member. They can answer any questions regarding admissions and will guide you through the next steps including completing assessments, reviewing payment options, discussing admission dates, and ultimately working with our clinical team to determine the appropriate level of care needed and if Aster Springs is the right fit.

Aster Springs offers multiple payment options, and we ensure that each client has a financial plan that works for them prior to admission. Currently, we are in-network with Aetna, Anthem, Humana, MultiPlan, Optima Health, and UnitedHealthcare and affiliates, including Optum, UMR, etc.

Our financial team takes the time to help each client understand their benefits and cost of care so there aren’t any surprises. This is vital so our clients don’t feel burdened while they’re focusing on treatment. However, we do not accept Medicare, Medicaid, or TRICARE.

Family involvement is an integral part of the recovery process, and we work to accommodate visitation as much as possible. We also encourage regular family therapy sessions in addition to family workshops. We strongly believe that recovery is a team effort!

Every client is different, and the length of their program depends on their progress in treatment. Another factor is the insurance provider’s willingness to authorize treatment. Our team will do our best to advocate for the appropriate level and duration of care that will provide the best opportunity for sustained recovery.
