Long-Term Eating Disorder Recovery is Possible
Your Recovery Pillars
“7 in 10 of us avoid treatment fearing loss of self-sufficiency²”
Quality of Life
Quality of life is an important predictor of recovery from eating disorders. Whilst more intensive treatment options of longer duration are proven to be more effective¹ - longer stays at a residential clinic or inpatient facility, or longer duration intensive outpatient programs - they can reduce quality of life significantly due to the need to put your life on hold for extended periods. Whilst there are times when a higher level of care is necessary, our model is designed to help you not only achieve long-term recovery, but to live your life to the fullest whilst doing so.
Integration with Your Work and Life
-
Our framework provides the therapeutic and peer-support, structure, routine and accountability that are key to recovery at home - fully integrating the recovery process with your work and life.
-
Your life needn’t be put on hold during recovery. In fact, recovery needs to become embedded into your daily life to become sustained. You’ll be supported and encouraged to succeed across all areas of your life, your successes celebrated alongside your recovery progress.
Inspirational Experience Design
-
From aspirational properties and locations, interiors designed to protect a safe, warm, recovery environment at home, to partnerships with cultural, leisure and wellness brands - we make it our mission that your experience living in your Ianthe House is enriching, nurturing, healing and inspiring.
-
You deserve a rich and fulfilling life throughout your recovery, as well as after. Beautiful surroundings, nurturing experiences and support for self care help to grow your self esteem and sense of self worth, laying the foundations for your success - a life you love.
Empowerment, Freedom & Independence
-
Our online community hosts tools and resources designed to support your strength and independence - from careers, saving and investing, travel and lifestyle, to wellness, beauty and nutrition - as well as opportunities to contribute and gain meaningfully from your new professional network - your Ianthe House community.
-
Feeling empowered, secure, and, most importantly, inspired for your future is vital. We look past the idea of developing a sense of self-sufficiency and forward to what your dreams and ambitions are.
