For those on a vegetarian or vegan diet that have an eating disorder, generally it’s been very difficult to find in-patient treatment. Alsana is now offering a program.

They say, “Spearheaded by our vice president of clinical nutrition services, Tammy Beasley, our Alsana leadership team worked tirelessly for over a year and a half to create a robust program for vegan clients that integrates our high culinary standards within our in-depth treatment process. This carefully and lovingly thought-out process has allowed us to confidently open our doors to clients with eating disorders who are also following a vegan lifestyle.”

Treating Vegan Clients

“We believe that full, sustained recovery is possible in clients practicing veganism. We also acknowledge that there is an additional challenge in treating these clients and are dedicated to helping them navigate their unique path to recovery. By incorporating our detailed veganism program within the five dimensions of Alsana’s Adaptive Care™ Model (medical, movement, nutrition, clinical, and relational) we see vegan clients achieve recovery alongside their non-vegan peers.”
