Milestones in recovery Hollywood

Milestones in Recovery is a Hollywood center that has held Joint Commission accreditation since 1999. It treats people with anorexia, bulimia, compulsive overeating and related eating disorders, and it also lists drug addiction and co-occurring disorders as concerns it addresses. The setting stays less restrictive than a hospital while recovery continues so daily life keeps its shape.

Residential clients live in apartment-style residences rather than a hospital wing. A community dietitian helps each person build a meal plan, shop for groceries and practice cooking, making ordinary routines part of the work. On the clinical campus, participants move through group and individual therapy and also attend community support groups nearby. If you want a program that feels like everyday life, then this apartment model may fit better than a hospital ward.

The center sits near the beaches of Hollywood, and clients have access to nature, walking trails, a fitness center and an outdoor lounge. Rooms are shared and air-conditioned. Staff work from evidence-based, holistic and therapeutic-community approaches, and sessions are offered in English only.
