At Alsana, we’re a dedicated eating recovery community helping adults of all genders heal with personalized, whole‑person care. We offer in‑person residential, outpatient, and virtual programs nationwide including adolescent PHP/IOP to meet clients wherever they are in their recovery journey. Our approach addresses the aspects of eating disorders that often go untreated in traditional programs by focusing on five key dimensions of care: medical, nutritional, movement, relational, and therapeutic.

Our culture is built on communication, collaboration, compassion, and integrity—all essential in crafting individualized treatment plans that support meaningful, lasting recovery. Behind the scenes, every team member plays a vital role in making healing possible and that includes you.
