We developed Tapestry to provide an affordable alternative to the high cost of extended treatment for eating disorders; we have strong working relationships with a wide range of insurance plans in order to make your stay cost effective for you (see our tuition page for more information).
Most people mistakenly believe that their health insurance will not
cover residential mental health care. Our insurance experts will thoroughly
research and explain your benefits. We will work directly with your
carrier to ensure your coverage.Contact us to inquire directly about
your plan.
Parity laws
require insurance policies to treat mental health issues in the same
manner as physical issues. We will provide you with all of the
information you require for your peace of mind in knowing that treatment
at Tapestry is fully accessible. We are in-network with Aetna, Cigna,
Beech Street, and Crescent. We will soon be in-network with Blue
Cross/Blue Shield, and are also working with financing agencies to
assist those without adequate health insurance.
We utilize a community-based recovery model that limits cost while providing a rich interweaving of resources. Eating Disorder Treatment modalities include: Insight-oriented and cognitive-behavioral therapies, Equine Therapy, Nutritional Counseling, expressive arts groups including movement and art therapy, real-world grocery shopping and restaurant practice, healthy food preparation with a Nutritionist, DBT Skills groups, yoga, massage, Trager®, and EMDR.
Tapestry's philosophy is centered around putting recovery into the control of the client while providing support, skills training, and education by staff. We do not lock the doors to the kitchen or follow our clients to the restroom. We work with our clients to gain their trust so they are able to safely inform staff when urges to binge/purge/restrict arise. This assists in allowing the client and staff to identify triggers while in treatment, rather than be shielded from them, and relapse when faced with those triggers after discharge.
Our highly skilled staff are here to support and provide guidance throughout every aspect of treatment. Our Nutritionist works with each client on an individual basis to provide meal planning, nutrition education, cooking meals, and grocery shopping. A major part of our program is centered around the client learning to shop for and prepare meals that meet their nutritional needs. An individual meal plan is prepared for breakfast and lunch. A group meal plan is prepared for dinner with the group coming together once a week to plan their meals that will meet each clients nutritional needs. We teach the client wise grocery shopping strategies and how to prepare meals for themselves and their families while meeting nutritional needs following discharge. It is our goal to assist our clients to gain all skills necessary to maintain recovery throughout the rest of their lives.
