Family reunification is the primary goal of the residential adolescent program.
To achieve this goal, Wellspring's family-style ambience provides daily living experiences of relationship with staff and peers as a way to address problems with parents and relationships. These problems are typically reenacted at Wellspring, both in the milieu and at school , but they can now be addressed with professional skill and understanding. Parents or Guardians have to be able and willing to be actively involved in the treatment process as indicated and recommended by the Treatment Team. Treatment plans are designed to meet individual needs within the general program. Wellspring's treatment of severe eating disorder combines close monitoring and management of symptomatic behavior with nutritional planning and medical supervision.
