Introduction and Basic Services

Rebecca’s House is a behavioral health network with headquarters in Lake Forest, California, about 50 miles south of Los Angeles in Orange County. It was founded in 1999 by Rebecca Cooper, a licensed therapist, eating disorder recovery advocate and pioneer of the first extended care treatment program for clients with eating disorders. Rebecca’s House provides a comprehensive program for clients struggling with eating disorders as well as those with co-occurring disorders. The curriculum includes extended residential care, a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), dual diagnosis support and transitional living.

Facility and Meals

Rebecca’s House has three facilities for recovery living, all of which are situated in well-to-do suburbs. With 18 beds per house, Rebecca’s House offers both structure and a communal atmosphere. All residents share a bedroom with one roommate. In addition, there are outdoor patios and common areas equipped with TVs.

The goal of the facility is for clients to re-establish a balanced relationship with food. To this end, Rebecca’s House employs an on-staff culinary team that includes nutritionists and registered dieticians. These professionals design the menu with an emphasis on nutrition, and there are cooking courses to improve clients’ connection with eating and food.

Treatment Protocol and Team

By transitioning clients into real-life situations, Rebecca’s Housing creates the supportive and challenging atmosphere that helps individuals attain their conscious eating goals and increase the likelihood of long-term, sustainable health success. Typical length of stay is between three and six months. The extended care program integrates classic therapies with holistic methods. Therapy models include CBT, DBT, psychoanalysis and Person-Centered Therapy (PCT) as well as EMDR, which aims to alleviate the stress of past trauma as it relates to present behavioral and emotional heath issues. These modalities are implemented in conjunction with wellness activities like art therapy, equine therapy, yoga, mindful eating, guided imagery and relapse prevention.

The Rebecca’s House treatment team is comprised of house managers, specialized therapists, psychiatrists, physicians, counselors, dieticians, physiologists and consulting medical doctors.

Bonus Amenities

Rebecca’s House encourages clients to take responsibility for maintaining a healthy lifestyle. To foster this, it offers spirituality, pastoral counseling, life skills development, meditation and vocational course work. More specific to eating disorders, clients develop skills such as food preparation, grocery shopping and maintaining an exercise regimen.

Summary

Rebecca’s House is a behavioral health network that specializes in customized treatment for clients struggling with eating disorders and those in need of dual diagnosis care. The facility’s recovery living provides structured transitional living to best support clients in recovery. Potential clients seeking to cover the cost of treatment with health insurance can also be assured that this network does accept it as a form of payment and will work with each client to determine the next steps. Rebecca’s House is a great choice for clients with eating disorders and another pillar among the Souther California rehabilitation community.
