It’s a good facility if you only have an eating disorder however they do not know how to handle mental health disorders or any display of emotions. If you have any underlying health concerns as well as your ed, go somewhere else to get help and recover, they will discharge you faster than you can say “I need help” They will help you with your eating disorder but nothing else, and will not tolerate any mental health struggles even the ones that come so entwined with ed’s. Don’t forget you are valid, your struggles are valid, and you deserve to get help with everything holding you back.

Staff very knowledgeable, kind and compassionate. Staff worked with my needs to create very individualized care to help me while in residential and stepping down into partial hospitalization. 10/10 would recommend.

I truly would give this place 0 stars. Patients get blackmailed by the staff, accused and fingers are always pointed at you. Patients get threatened by the staff. This is a horrible, horrible place. They dont help you they like to take control in a negative way.

I am here currently and feel extremely cared for. Of course my experience isn’t everyone else’s, but compared to other facilities, they’re much more compassionate and understanding of anxiety and co-existing mental illness. They give you a lot of freedom, though being stuck inside due to COVID can feel a bit confining, they do their best to help us feel like people and go outside when we can, and keep in touch with our loved ones by letting us use our phones. Overall best facility I’ve been to for any mental illness

By far the best treatment center in Seattle. I’m there rn and they give us so much freedom and treat us well and the nurses and Edts are absolute angels. I feel very cared for and like I’m improving so well and becoming more healthy both mentally and physically

If I could give zero stars I would. This is the worst treatment center you could go to for anorexia. Don’t. Go.

I started out in the Spokane Washington Emily Program PHP program and was referred to the Seattle Residential facility twice. I was initially diagnosed with Anorexia Nervosa and spent approximately 5 months being treated for that. I spent 9 weeks in the Seattle facility the first time and was put on medication to help with sleep and anxiety/depression since I was having trouble sleeping and was later having SI/SH thoughts. My first stay really broke me personally and when I came back home to Spokane to continue treatment I went off of the medication they prescribed (Remeron) and I had the worst withdraw symptoms. When I couldnt keep up with the program in Spokane and got sick from the medication I lost a lot of the progress in weight restoration I had made in the Seattle facility and wound up going back. I spend 10 weeks in the Seattle facility again, only this time I was going to take my time and not brute force my way through it. Then I was diagnosed with ARFID (not AN), and I got ill while I was there which hindered my progress even more. Then I was told I would be discharged because the residential facility was not equipped to deal with sensory issues related to ARFID and that I might be better served at either a more specialized treatment facility (Rogers Behavioral Health - which doesnt take my insurance) or build my own recovery team at home. So, I built my own recovery team and it has been difficult, but a better route at this time for me.A broad note: Every E.D. place says they specialize in every Eating Disorder, but they dont. Rogers Behavioral Health was recommended to me by the Emily Program staff as a possible place to get ARFID specialized treatment. I suggest anyone who begins treatment for an Eating Disorder look around and ask a lot of questions before committing to a recovery institution.More specifically to the Emily Program: While they are lovely people and work hard to engage clients in recovery; they do not cater to every E.D. They mostly cater to AN and BN, with a high focus on body image issues. If you have a lot of sensory issues this may not be the BEST place for you, but they are client focused.

Does the Emily program do impatient for minors? ( 17 year old bulimic ? )
