I was in residential at
Magnolia Creek for 12 weeks and PHP 4 weeks. Before Magnolia Creek,
my life was confused by bulimia and anorexia nervosa. My mind was
filled with thoughts of what I should and should not eat, how I will
delay eating, and potentially purging in order to not digest the
nutrients and calories I was consuming. My life was full of gloomy days
of restricting, overeating, and purging. I had to quit my job because my
health was so bad I could not function. My 5-year relationship with my
boyfriend started to crumble because I was not mentally there when I
was physically there. I was consumed with ED thoughts, and it showed.
I could no longer hide it.
I first heard about Magnolia Creek from my formal dietician at
Children’s hospital. We worked to get me in and I’m so glad we did.
The admission process was smooth and easy. Once I got to the
Magnolia Creek property, they first welcomed me and then they
showed me the house where I would be staying. To be honest, my
initial emotion was excitement, and of course fear. I was so nervous,
but I finally had hope for the first time. I felt relief to be there in good
hands. My mom and dad said their goodbyes as I cried knowing that
this is what I needed and that I would be okay again. When I first
entered the house, I was greeted by many faces, all smiles. I got a tour
of the house, and it was so much nicer than I expected. The bedrooms
exceeded my expectations. As well as the living room and dining room.
They have professional dietician’s, therapists and nurses that will help
with your healing process. My stay at Magnolia Creek was lengthy but
it’s what saved my life. I can thank Magnolia Creek for giving me my
life back. I have found a job that I love, have returned to college and
my relationship with my boyfriend is better than ever. I am truly proud
to be an alumni at Magnolia Creek – Trinity R.
“I don’t know if I will ever have enough words to express my gratitude for Magnolia Creek. After struggling with an eating disorder for over 20 years I was skeptical that I could ever truly recover. From the moment I arrived on campus I was met with such compassion and peace. The property is beautiful and so serene. The staff at Magnolia Creek are amazing and truly care about each and every client individually- you’re not just another number to them. The groups they offer are insightful and so helpful. During my time at Magnolia Creek I was able to not only improve my relationship with food but also with myself and others. I developed life-long friendships while there and will never forget all that Magnolia Creek has taught me and given me. I gained my life back and I will never take it for granted.” – Grateful Magnolia Creek Alumnus
“As a skeptic and veteran of inpatient mental health treatment, Magnolia Creek is the REAL DEAL and like NO OTHER in the state. From the dieticians, nursing staff, therapists, and Recovery Care Specialists who serve to monitor and help guide you through your daily programming, the treatment and compassion I received was OUTSTANDING. These individuals genuinely care about the clients and their well-being. The food/nutrition program on campus is excellent as you get a variety of delicious options. I owe my success in recovery to Mag Creek in the special, individualized treatment I received. This is not a “one size fits all” program as they offer something for everyone, especially those with dual diagnosis such as myself. High praise and gratitude to all at MC. Y’all rock!!!” – Grateful Magnolia Creek Alumnus
“I truly don’t know where to even begin. I don’t think I will ever have adequate words to express my heart and gratitude for this place and these people. My story and situation may be a little different than the average Ed story, but if sharing it could help even just one person like me, it is more than worth it. I wasn’t “formally diagnosed” with an eating disorder until I was twenty-seven (this year) whereas most are developed and diagnosed at a young age. I went to see my PCP because I knew something was wrong and I got the diagnosis that day. She is someone that I really trust so when she told me she would like for me to go inpatient, I knew it is what I needed to do. Three weeks later, I was checking in to Mag Creek. In the beginning, I questioned if it was really “that bad,” if I was “sick enough” and if I really needed to go to a treatment facility, but I am so thankful that I did. I was so nervous about going into a new place, being the new girl, and not knowing anything and what things were going to be like. From the moment I walked in the door, I felt so welcomed, seen, and cared for by the girls and all of the staff. It feels so crazy to say, but I felt so at home. I got to be there with such a sweet group of girls who are now my close friends, my team was so great, and the staff as a whole were some of the most genuine, kind, and compassionate people I have ever met. Magnolia Creek not only helps girls find healing freedom, healing and recovery from Ed’s, but they also focus on mental health Co-Occurring disorders, life experiences, trauma and so much more. While learning and gaining a deeper understanding of the Ed, I had the opportunity also to address/learn so much more about depression, anxiety, and OCD, which was huge for me. It changed my life! If you or someone you know is battling an eating disorder, I highly recommend Magnolia Creek for treatment. There is truly nothing better than getting to be in a safe space (and a super cozy home) surrounded by people who truly get it, girls who are fighting the same battle, and a staff that cares so deeply and will walk with you every step of the way. Maybe you are someone like me where the diagnosis is new, you think you aren’t “sick enough” for treatment, or maybe you’ve battled your Ed for years, and you are just so afraid of the unknown. Do it afraid. Take that step. Reach out for help. Pursue healing, freedom, and recovery. It is absolutely possible, and YOU ARE WORTH IT! Mag Creek will forever hold such a special place in my heart.” – Grateful Magnolia Creek Alumnus
“Magnolia Creek was the best treatment center I’ve been to. The campus is beautiful and full of life. Being out in nature helped immensely with my recovery. It does not feel like a hospital like most centers do. Mag Creek and its people are so welcoming I highly recommend it to anyone who is in recovery.” – Grateful Magnolia Creek Alumnus
“I went here twice. It became home to me. I had the absolute best team to assist me with
anything I needed, even when we weren’t scheduled to meet, I knew I could get in touch with
them right away. This facility made me feel so welcome for the three months I stayed each time
and gave me so much help/knowledge on not only my eating disorder itself, but my body image
struggles, addiction, anxiety, PTSD, the list goes on. I can’t recommend this place enough.”” – Grateful Magnolia Creek Alumnus
“I found Magnolia Creek when I finally admitted I had an eating disorder. I thought for a long time I could fix it myself, but I could not. The staff that was with me in the house were so loving and caring. My treatment team was the BEST! I was taken care of medically and am now enjoying much better health. Also, for my treatment team: they were always there for me and taught me that I am worthy and that I can without my eating disorder. The other young girls that were there with me, we became a wonderful loving sisterhood. They were always there for me. I would recommend Magnolia Creek to anyone who is facing an eating disorder. You will find help there.” – Grateful Magnolia Creek Alumnus
“Magnolia Creek was an incredible place for me to heal. Leaving home to get the help you need is scary. Magnolia Creek made me feel safe, supported, and made me feel I was truly enough. One of my favorite parts was getting to be outside. The staff was encouraging and friendly, and I felt they truly cared for me as a person. It’s still a journey but Magnolia Creek provided me with a community of people who are also in recovery and a plan to succeed at recovery and life.” – Grateful Magnolia Creek Alumnus
Various members of my family have struggled to maintain a healthy weight with most trying different diets. My youngest daughter started dieting at an early age. She had weight reduction surgery in 2022. In May of 2023 she was diagnosed as having anorexia. We searched for an eating disorder facility. A professional that had formerly worked at Magnolia Creek highly recommended Magnolia Creek. It was Memorial Day Weekend and most offices were closed but someone answered our call and answered many of our questions.
I spoke with Magnolia Creek admissions on the phone. They accepted our daughter and made arrangements for her admission. When we arrived the admissions process took about 2 hours. We were relieved that we now had help for our daughter. She was receptive to receiving help. It was difficult to leave her but the facility was clean, very well maintained and the staff was polite and helpful.
Our daughter loved her team and felt like they were the best in their field. She was able to meet with each of her team members in person weekly. Her family therapist did a great job of reaching out to us for family sessions using zoom and in person.
Our daughter went to PHP in September. She was released/graduated in October 2023. She was not weight restored but had an outpatient team that she worked with after graduation. Her outpatient team was virtual using zoom. This was not the bet approach for our daughter. On December 8, 2023 we drove her back to Magnolia Creek for her second admission. She was at Magnolia until after Christmas when they wanted to transfer her to North Carolina to have a feeding tube inserted.
She returned to Magnolia Creek on June 14, 2024. She was weight restore but mentally not prepared for PHP. Her struggles were real. Once again she loved her team. She was able to have some of the same team members that she had which was helpful because they already knew her and her strengths and weaknesses. Her team at Magnolia Creek worked diligently to give her the tools that she needed to beat ED. They supported her and encouraged her. Her team helped her in immeasurable ways. Our daughter was released to return home in September 2024.
While at Magnolia Creek she made many lifelong friends as well as bonded with many wonderful professionals that she has high regard for. She has credited Magnolia Creek with saving her life. We would highly recommend Magnolia Creek to anyone with an eating disorder.

“Where do i even start??? Words cannot express how incredibly grateful i am for my stay at magnolia creek. it took a great deal of strength for me to decide to seek treatment. i had given up on overcoming my ED, i had lost all hope and it almost took my life. but from the moment i arrived i felt such a great deal of peace. there was not a single person there that didn’t have the best intentions of healing for us. every aspect was so nurturing for my soul. the beautiful place was completely surrounded by nature. i thrived in the group of women that were in the same situation as i was, i immediately felt like i wasn’t alone. being vulnerable from the very beginning created such a space for connection, it truly felt like a family to me! there was a perfect balance between structure and free time. not to mention the beautiful meals that i had the pleasure of eating every day! cooked with so much love and care. it was so important for me to have time and space to process, creative outlets, and consistent support. all of these needs were beyond met. i grew so much as a person, discovered a self-love i had never felt before. i want to express my gratitude for Rachel, Morgan, Janifer, Rebeca, Cliff, Hailey, Sam, Heith, Alex, Courtney, Kat, Britney, Wendy, Janice, Kelly, Taylor, Janay, … and literally everyone!! thank yall for embracing me so kindly. i believe the forces that brought us together were greatly beyond us and it was truly divine timing. i had never felt so respected, loved, or cared for in my life. thank you from the bottom of my heart everyone.. all of the staff and all of the beautiful women in my group. i could write a book about my stay honestly! but ill stop here LOL. magnolia creek completely turned my life around and i am forever grateful!!!” – Grateful Magnolia Creek Alum
“I loved my stay at magnolia creek! Loved the friendships I made and my team. It most definitely saved my life. Didn’t really believe I could ever recover but they gave me so much hope and really helped me believe that I could battle this disorder outside of treatment. Kelsey, Sam, and Taylor were definitely a god send. Couldn’t be more grateful for them and everything they did for me. They challenged me and really pushed me to further my recovery. If you are questioning getting help for your eating disorder I would highly recommend Magnolia Creek! You will make life long connections and it will teach you how to live apart from your ED. So thankful. ❤️” – Grateful Magnolia Creek Alumnus
“Magnolia Creek saved my life. It is an incredible facility that brings care to the client as a whole. You are NOT just a number here. It’s the BEST care I have ever received in my life, and I’ve been in a lot of treatment. I would suggest Magnolia Creek to anyone who is struggling with an ED or any other mental health issues!” – Grateful Magnolia Creek Alumnus
“Magnolia Creek is an absolutely amazing facility, it truly saved my life. while being at magnolia creek we did group therapy sessions, individual sessions with a individual therapist, a family therapist and dietician. my primary therapist helped me reprocess trauma and helped me see I am in control of my life and my family therapist helped me explain my eating disorder and the signs to my family and boyfriend. my dietician helped me make peace with food and even helped me cook new things in the kitchen. im not sure i could have overcome my eating disorder without this facility.” – Grateful Magnolia Creek Alumnus
“Magnolia Creek changed my life. My team cared deeply in listening to me, working with me as
an individual, and making sure I had the support I needed to recover properly. The techs that
are with you all day become like family, the nurses are phenomenal and want to see you
succeed. To be honest, they saved my life in the darkest time of my life and I will forever be
grateful. Magnolia Creek is defense and peaceful, the perfect place to focus on yourself and
your recovery. I can’t write enough positive things about everyone there. If you need help, truly
consider this as your first choice.” – Grateful Magnolia Creek Alumnus
“I have been to Magnolia Creek twice in 2022. This was my third treatment center, and for me the experience here was very different from my other experiences, in the best way possible. I was able to really work on my trauma and other underlying issues driving the eating disorder both with my individual treatment team and in groups, and I felt incredibly supported by both the RCSs and nurses on the day to day needs. I learned a lot and was really challenged to push myself outside of my comfort zone and felt like needing to come back a second time, that it would be a safe place to come back to, and I would just in generally highly recommend Magnolia Creek to any of my friends or family needing treatment, and if I ever needed help in the future in a higher level of care, I would return as well.” – Grateful Magnolia Creek Alumnus
““I am grateful and thankful for my recovery journey at Magnolia Creek in residential and at PHP.
It is a very caring and supportive atmosphere. I will now be heading into IOP to do the next step
down back at home and I leave for that next step knowing that I have been in good hands
during my stay at the Creek! My Treatment Team, who I really appreciate, helped me to
challenge my thoughts and urges, reframe, set boundaries, learn and grow in coping skills, get
to know my cognitive distortions and practice and believe positive affirmations for when those
arrive, familiarize myself with my ED cycle and know exactly what I’m fighting against with ED
and when it happens, CBT, DBT, body image and so much more! I’m also grateful for the RCS’s
who were so great and helpful in recovery as well as the nurses who helped me in so many
ways. Recovery isn’t linear but it’s worth it because I’m worth it. Recovery is possible and I
believe one day I can and will overcome and defeat ED for good. Thank you, Magnolia Creek!”” – Grateful Magnolia Creek Alumnus
“My treatment at MC showed me what it means to be safe and guided to do the hard work at the same time. My team (Sam, Steph and Kelsey) as well as the rest of the clinical staff believed in me when I didn’t and supported me in ways I didn’t know I needed. It was also a beautiful space and the pond is magical. The food was great as well (shoutout to Cliff and Haily!) I really liked that the clients create the menu and the lead dietician LeeAnne followed the intuitive eating principles and was there to support every client with their meal plan or general support. I had been to multiple treatment centers before I found MC and was burnt out and didn’t feel much hope. I’m a queer young adult in a large body and felt respected and supported in who I am by all of the staff as well as the community. If you are seeing this review you have found a hidden gem and hope you take this chance, you deserve recovery” – Grateful Magnolia Creek Alumnus
“Very grateful to feel welcomed once I got there. Was a first time experience for me and I couldn’t be more pleased with the staff and how much they cared and supported me! Along my journey. Loved the beauty of it being out in nature. The groups were very eye opening and helpful to learn and better understand how the brain and ED all work together! Felt like I could really trust my team staff and nurses there when I had something on my mind! Very pleased with the opportunity to learn and grow, have taken a lot and has been very useful going out into the real world!” – Grateful Magnolia Creek Alumnus
“They really changed my life. I love the staff, the treatment team, and Mark’s cooking. Y’all will be missed!” – Grateful Magnolia Creek Alumnus
“Magnolia Creek saved me, healed me, and guided me to FREEDOM! I just want to say to others with an eating disorder that there is hope. I had an eating disorder for 14 years and was terrified to go to treatment. Dr. H talked me into going after many calls and giving recovery a fair chance. When I finally got there, I had the best team (Maria, Jessica, and Leigh-Ann) work with me and push me because they saw my potential. I am forever grateful and am thinking about going to school for counseling or even possibly nutrition. We all deserve recovery and to be happy.” – Grateful Magnolia Creek Alumnus
“10/10 isn’t enough to qualify the treatment I received at the Creek, a positive atmosphere all day long and every person in the facility giving you support and good wishes. The counselors are the best you can find, and the staff members helped to solve any question I had. A great team of work which made my recovery possible.” – Grateful Magnolia Creek Alumnus
“I will be forever grateful for my time and experiences at Magnolia Creek. From the moment I stepped foot on campus and Taylor and Caroline greeted me, I knew this was a special place. The compassionate, caring clinicians and staff guided me from surviving with an eating disorder to learning how to thrive without it. My care plan was personalized to meet me where I was at mentally, emotionally, and physically, while the day-to-day programming provided the structure needed to heal. Each person, from the admissions team, clinical staff, nursing, chefs, facilities manager, recovery care specialists, they all truly care about clients and worked tirelessly to allow us to heal. During my stay, I learned how to laugh and cry while dancing in the rain, literally and figuratively, and I realized that life can be so much more than what my eating disorder had to offer. Magnolia Creek and the amazing people there guided me back to life.” – Grateful Magnolia Creek Alumnus
“I was given the true gift of working with the nutrition director as my dietitian. I would not be
anywhere near the place I am without her. She saved my life. Above and beyond does not even
begin to cover a fraction of the support I received from her. I have never learned more about
nutrition, myself, and my recovery from ANYONE. I am tearing up writing this, that is how
powerful working with her was for me. For anyone finding themselves in the tremendously
challenging place of seeking treatment for their eating disorder, I could not recommend
Magnolia Creek enough. It will be the most difficult journey, but at Magnolia Creek, it is a
journey one will not take alone, but rather with a true family. You deserve life, and Magnolia
Creek will give that to you.” – Grateful Magnolia Creek Alumnus
“Going to Magnolia Creek was one of the most significant, impactful experiences of my life.
Truly. First off, the facility and sprawling grounds are a breathtaking environment to cultivate
true recovery. It was a true blessing to wake up every morning and look out onto the lake and
the trees and feel at peace. But more importantly, the staff here are incredible. The RCS's (the
techs who work closely on the floor with clients) are incredible. Every single person I worked
with was compassionate, kind, empowering, and dedicated. I had so many powerful conversations during my darkest moments that I will take with me forever. And the nursing staff are second to none. Everyone became my family, and I cannot emphasize enough how much they guided me through the most challenging times in my life. Magnolia Creek’s clinical staff blew me away. I have had experiences all over the country at all different levels of care, and my team here was the most passionate, knowledgeable, and life-affirming I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I was viewed as a whole person and experienced a tailored treatment approach that accounted for my physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well being and growth. I always felt valued and heard.” – Grateful Magnolia Creek Alumnus
“My team always had my back, even when I tried to self-sabotage, they pulled me back in. I
wouldn’t trade this experience for anything. The RCS’s were genuine and the clinicians as a
whole were exactly what I needed in my recovery. The environment is structured, which is
helpful, and the outdoors is probably my favorite part. I would have to say I would for sure
recommend this facility.” – Grateful Magnolia Creek Alumnus
“I owe so much to MC and all of the providers here; all I can say is thank you and to commit to a life of a recovery because THEY showed me how promising of a future I could have without ED. It took a lot to get me to come to MC in the first place, and I was very resistant to the entire process. However, through time and the support from my team, peers, and staff, I began to work on the important things to understand why I do not need or want the ED any longer. I looked forward to working with the clinicians, RCSes, the nurses, and all other staff here each day- they genuinely do care and have such good intentions. Hard work is time, time is progress, and progress is the goal! I really learned to be myself because everyone else is already taken :)” – Grateful Magnolia Creek Alumnus
“I am so happy that I decided to embark on my recovery journey at Magnolia Creek. All of the staff, from clinicians to RCSs and beyond, were so incredibly kind and supportive throughout my entire time there. It’s a safe space to start the scary road to recovery with the right people to get you through it. I made great friends and felt loved and supported during my entire time there. I owe Mag Creek my recovery and would definitely recommend it to anyone who’s ready to start healing!” – Grateful Magnolia Creek Alumnus
Family Members
“My daughter was discharged yesterday from Magnolia Creek. This has been such an amazing journey not just for my daughter but our entire family. When she went she didn’t want to be there as most teens don’t, the staff was so supportive and understanding. Everyone at Magnolia Creek kept us informed, they were professional, and it was obvious they took her care very seriously. She was very defiant going in. In the beginning she called me night after night telling me how much she hates it and for me to come get her. I hung in there and trusted that the Magnolia Creek team had everything under control. I’m so glad I did. I started to see an amazing turn around. Her attitude changed for the better and she sounded truly happy for the first time in a long time. The staff has already been reaching out making sure her after care is set up and will continue to check on her progress. Yesterday as we picked her up there were long goodbye hugs. She and her new friends were exchanging contact info. As we started to drive off, she said that she was glad to be going home but that she was going to miss her Magnolia Creek family with a little tear in her eye. I highly recommend Magnolia creek to anyone that is suffering from an Eating disorder, they will set you up for success because they truly care. I want to thank everyone at Magnolia Creek. Keep up the great work, you truly are changing lives. I only wish I could give you 10 stars.” –– Grateful Parent of a Magnolia Creek Alumnus

“Magnolia Creek was our first experience with a treatment center for eating disorders. From the moment we arrived on this beautiful property…we were met with compassion and professionalism. The staff assured us that our chosen daughter would be surrounded by professionals who cared for her as their own. Our loved one got the best of care from her 3 clinicians. She formed friendships that continue to be part of her support network today. Magnolia Creek continues their support even after leaving treatment. We are able to continue individual and family support. Thank you, Magnolia Creek, for educating us, for the expert care , the family you became and the support you continue to give.” –– Grateful Parent of a Magnolia Creek Alumnus

“My sister attended recovery at Mag Creek for eight weeks and came home a changed person. She is determined to keep up the things she learned there and feels supported even after her discharge. We are so grateful for the care she received there!”
–– Grateful Sister of a Magnolia Creek Alumnus
“I would definitely recommend this facility. In my eyes this place saved my 14 year old daughters life. There team is amazing and they kept me updated weekly on my daughter’s progress and I couldn’t believe how well there program works. They’re nurse’s always contacted me to let me know when my daughter needed medication and got my approval first. They even have family counseling to help me and my family cope with not being able to see our daughter everyday. This place is amazing and my daughter is now home healthier than ever. Thank you Magnolia Creek for your program and kindness that y’all have shown us and my daughter.” – Grateful Parent of a Magnolia Creek Alumnus
“Cannot say enough about the level of care the team at Magnolia Creek offered our family. They assisted with every aspect. We are so fortunate to have this center in Alabama.” –– Grateful Parent of a Magnolia Creek Alumnus
“I can’t brag enough on Magnolia Creek. The staff is wonderful. My daughter was in the youth house this was her first time away from home staff was great with helping with her being homesick. She said the food was great. The property is beautiful and the housing nice. She came home a totally different child. This experience helped with so much more than just her eating disorder. She has learned to love herself and others. She was taught so much for personal happiness and self respect. She has told everyone here at home she wants to forever be connected to Mag Creek. The support and connection with the family is great. I had zero complaints as a parent.” –– Grateful Parent of a Magnolia Creek Alumnus
“Please know that we appreciate all that you and the staff have done for our daughter! We couldn’t have asked for better care for her and we feel very lucky she had this experience.” – Grateful Parent of a Magnolia Creek Alumnus
“You are changing people’s lives. There is no greater thing than what you all are doing. Thank you for treating our daughter with respect and helping her recover from her eating disorder. What a gift you have given to us. We can never say thank you enough.” – Grateful Parent of a Magnolia Creek Alumnus
“My daughter has had an eating disorder for a few years now and COVID sent it in a direction
we could no longer handle on our own. Our therapist at home suggested Magnolia Creek, I
have read every review from here as well as many other facilities. This is not an easy treatment
process. Eating disorders are a lifelong battle. The first 9 or 10 days are nothing short of
miserable. Your daughter will beg you to come home and every day you will think about going
and getting her. There will be lots of tears on both sides. Believe in the system, the other girls
there will become a support system to your daughter. The counselors and RCS's there want to
see your daughter succeed, this is not easy, but obviously nothing before this has worked. The
Chef, Cliff was a rock star in my daughter’s eyes. She was eating things here she would have
never eaten at home. She spent time in the kitchen with Cliff cooking and baking. She came
home with all her menus and meal plans for us to include here. Her family therapist Janifer was
extraordinary in reading behaviors and moods and helping identify things that trigger her. She
was super communicative with us as well. Our daughter finished her junior year of high school
while here and the teacher Heather was fantastic. She coordinated everything through the
counselor and was helpful to get all completed. I think this treatment process was life changing
for our daughter, she made some great friends and eating better than ever before. I will always
be grateful to Magnolia Creek. My advice is to only send your daughter here if she wants to
make changes, you can not force this on someone if they are not willing to do the work.” –– Grateful Parent of a Magnolia Creek Alumnus
“Magnolia Creek is a center that I highly recommend. My daughter became anorexic at the age of 17 and then two years later she became bulimic for 15 years. Magnolia Creek gave our family back our daughter. They literally saved her life. The treatment and counseling she received helped her climb out of the darkness she was so wrapped up in. It’s been 11 months since she entered treatment and seven months since she left. She has put in all the work and effort to focus on a healthy lifestyle, and I don’t know what our family would have done without Magnolia Creek. I am forever grateful to all the staff; she has lifelong friends that she made that she calls her sisters. Anyone struggling with an eating disorder should call Magnolia Creek!” –– Grateful Parent of a Magnolia Creek Alumnus
“Thank you, Magnolia Creek! My daughter had another episode until she decided to get treatment. She is now stable thanks to the help and guidance obtained during her treatment. The staff is friendly, and Magnolia Creek has good amenities as well.” – Grateful Parent of a Magnolia Creek Alumnus
“Magnolia Creek is an exceptional treatment facility with knowledgeable and compassionate staff. My daughter has been fighting an eating disorder and other addictions for years and Magnolia Creek is the first facility that allowed for her to truly heal, change, and grow into the amazing young woman that we knew she could be. Our family was included in treatment, and we were given the tools and education that we were lacking and taught the best ways to support our daughter in her recovery. The Admissions Team (Carolyn) was amazing, and the Clinical Director (Dr. C) was nothing short of a miracle for us. We have been so blessed to have found this wonderful facility and will be forever thankful for saving our daughter’s life.” – Grateful Parent of a Magnolia Creek Alumnus
“Magnolia Creek Residential Eating Disorder Facility has an amazing and truly caring staff. They worked with our family and teenage daughter during the five weeks she went through treatment.
She attended individual therapy, group classes, family therapy, she learned how to properly
prepare balance meals, her dietician taught her about the importance of nutrition, the medical
staff took care of medical concerns and medication if needed, and much more. Before entering the program, she was in denial about struggling with an eating disorder and at completion of the program she was in control and fully aware of her struggles. She is confident and equipped to live a healthy meaningful life and we are truly grateful to have found Magnolia Creek. The hardest part about completing the program was how much she missed the staff. Thank you for loving our daughter.” – Grateful Parent of a Magnolia Creek Alumnus

Clinical Partners
