Admissions FAQs
Shoreline has provided eating disorder treatment since 1995. Additionally, we were awarded a three-year accreditation by CARF, a non-profit organization that monitors the quality of treatment programs. We’re located in Long Beach and Laguna Hills, California.
Although we embrace the 12 Steps as an incredibly valuable tool for addiction recovery, we do not utilize this model in our eating disorder treatment programs. Many clients have co-occurring addictions, which we actively address. In those cases, we support the use of AA/NA meetings/sponsors and ensure our clients can participate in these programs to supplement their eating disorder treatment.
The average length of stay in the residential level of care varies based on the individual’s needs coming into the program and their progression throughout treatment. We aren’t a set time-frame program, but rather we advocate for the appropriate level and duration of care that gives each client the best chance at sustained recovery. If utilizing insurance for coverage, the length of
stay is largely dependent on insurance approval as well.
The first step is to call us at (562)-434-6007 or complete our contact form to speak with a member of our Admissions Team. We will schedule a full telephone or in-person assessment, verify insurance coverage, discuss admission dates, and respond to any questions.
