About Magnolia Creek
Magnolia Creek is a women's only residential treatment center that specializes in treating women and teen girls with anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, compulsive exercise disorder, pica disorder, muscle dysmorphia, and purging disorder, along with co-occurring health conditions. Magnolia Creek offers a full continuum of care with individualized treatment plans tailored to the individual. They blend evidence-based intervention with holistic therapies. The residential program length is 30 days. Each day, clients participate in individual therapy, group therapy, and experiential and recreational therapy. Therapies vary from day to day and can include CBT, DBT, ACT, mindfulness therapy, motivational interviewing (MI), and family counseling. Clients will have the opportunity to participate in experiential therapies like animal-assisted therapy, wilderness therapy, art therapy, sand-tray therapy, music therapy, and adventure therapy. After residential treatment, clients step down onto a Day Treatment, or PHP. Rather than living at the treatment center, clients attend daily programming and are provided the opportunity to prepare meals and engage in learned coping skills at home in the evenings. In addition to treatment, Magnolia Creek offers a 3-day intensive family program once a month and an ongoing aftercare program.
Magnolia Creek sits in a quiet and picturesque setting in Columbiana, Alabama, about an hour southeast of Birmingham. The beautiful property is surrounded by 40 acres of wooded land with a large private lake. The colonial home houses up to 14 residents and provides comfortable accommodations, a living room fireplace, and a wraparound porch perfect for relaxing. Clients are served 3 meals a day prepared by an on-site chef. Clients can enjoy walks through the beautiful property, yoga, and horseback riding. Magnolia Creek is accredited by the Joint Commission and accepts most private insurance.

Approaches
Evidence-Based
A combination of scientifically rooted therapies and treatments make up evidence-based care, defined by their measured and proven results.
Gender-Specific
Separate treatment for men or women can create strong peer connections and remove barriers related to trauma, shame, and gender-specific nuances.
Individual Treatment
Individual care meets the needs of each patient, using personalized treatment to provide them the most relevant care and greatest chance of success.
Spiritual Emphasis
Spirituality connects patients to a higher power and helps strengthen their recovery, hope, and compliance with other treatment modalities.

Incorporating spirituality, community, and responsibility, 12-Step philosophies prioritize the guidance of a Higher Power and a continuation of 12-Step practices.
Therapies
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
This cognitive behavioral therapy teaches patients to accept challenging feelings and make the appropriate changes to reach personal goals.
Art Therapy
Visual art invites patients to examine the emotions within their work, focusing on the process of creativity and its gentle therapeutic power.
Equine Therapy
Guided interactions with trained horses, their handler, and a therapist can help patients improve their self-esteem, trust, empathy, and social skills.
Experiential Therapy
With this approach, patients heal by doing. Therapists help patients process difficult emotions to speak, using guided activities like art or dance.
Eye Movement Therapy (EMDR)
Lateral, guided eye movements help reduce the emotional reactions of retelling and reprocessing trauma, allowing intense feelings to dissipate.
Family Therapy
Family therapy addresses group dynamics within a family system, with a focus on improving communication and interrupting unhealthy relationship patterns.
Meditation & Mindfulness
A practiced state of mind that brings patients to the present. It allows them to become fully aware of themselves, their feelings, and the present moment.
Motivational Interviewing and Enhancement Therapy (MET)
This approach is based on idea that motivation to change comes from within. Providers use a conversational framework that may help you commit to recovery.
Narrative Therapy
Through narrative therapy, patients rewrite past events with a positive focus. They separate themselves from the problem to see their purpose and capabilities.
