Oliver-Pyatt Centers

Joint Commission - National Quality Approval

	We know that each individual's recovery process is unique. We know that each client comes to treatment with a unique mix of psychological and medical concerns, and with unique life circumstances, fears, goals, and motivations. While one client might begin treatment with an ability to do whatever is necessary to recover, another might begin with ambivalence, uncertain that true recovery is even a possibility. Regardless of where you fall on that continuum, that is where we begin, with no judgment, and no expectation that your recovery will follow a set path. Every aspect of our eating disorder treatment, from meal planning to therapeutic goals to body movement, is tailored to meet the needs of the individual client. An eating disorder is complex, and recovery requires the integrated approach of a multidisciplinary team of professionals who are expert in its treatment. We specialize in the psychiatric management of co-occurring disorders, including mood and anxiety disorders, trauma, and PTSD. All Residential and PHP patients are medically managed by a Board Certified Internal Medicine Specialist, and receive daily nursing/medical assessments, and lab work when indicated. As a residentially licensed and JCAHO accredited facility, we offer the highest level of care outside of a hospital setting. Daily Individual Psychotherapy allows you and your therapist to fully explore the core issues driving the eating disorder. It creates an environment which validates each individual’s needs and worth, so that authentic and long-term recovery can occur. Many treatment centers are able to provide the structure needed to support normal eating during treatment, but unless these core issues are addressed, the client is at risk for returning to the eating disordered behavior once she leaves treatment. We believe individual psychotherapy is the cornerstone of effective eating disorder treatment.		Located in a beautiful residential neighborhood in South Miami, Florida, we are a comprehensive treatment center set in an environment with the warmth of a home. We have a maximum of ten clients in each of our programs, with a staff-to-client ratio among the highest found in any eating disorder treatment program. Each Primary Therapist has a maximum of four clients at any given time, allowing for extensive communication with the family and outpatient treatment teams. We believe this kind of environment fosters your ability to do the difficult work required of real recovery, and to authentically connect to members of the treatment team. This approach to eating disorder treatment allows you to reintegrate into real life through daily, guided outings into the community once you have reached an appropriate stage in the recovery process. Together, we experience restaurants, shop for clothing, and manage urges to over-exercise, all while supporting the unique needs of your body, mind, and spirit. This allows you to generalize what you experience in treatment into daily life. Food and meals are managed in a naturalistic way, with a focus on mindful eating. Rather than being served on a tray in a cafeteria, meals at Oliver-Pyatt Centers are served in an intimate setting, and always with staff support. We believe real world exposure is a key factor in avoiding relapse after treatment ends.
