The Victorian is the Beginning of a Life Free from
Eating Disorders and Addiction

With our 23 years of experience helping women to stop anorexia, bulimia, compulsive overeating, as well as recover from alcoholism and drug addiction in Orange County California, we have seen that there is a direct positive correlation between time spent in a supportive recovery environment and long term abstinence from an eating disorder. In fact, time spent in a treatment center like the Victorian of Newport Beach is the most favorable indicator of sustained recovery from eating disorders as well as alcoholic drinking or drug abuse.

Many of the women who begin to build a new life free of eating disorders at The Victorian in Newport Beach continue their treatment program by participating in other "tracks" offered by our greater network of treatment centers that are entirely located in Orange County, CA. Women who have completed the first four phases of the Victorian's eating disorder treatment program have begun to feel good about themselves build the self esteem that makes them want to "jump back into life." We have programs that will allow the woman to get the help and guidance she will need to successfully integrate back into society while living in the vibrant recovery community of Newport Beach and maintaining long term abstinence from bulimia nervosa, anorexia nervosa, binge eating, and compulsive overeating.

Our parent facility's Extended Care Program is a long term rehab for women that continues the woman's individualized recovery program with daily treatment activities including educational and supportive therapeutic processes. The woman will live in a very nice home with other recovering individuals while continuing to have her recovery program tracked by our staff of eating disorder experts. The woman will have fun and also continue her education by attending mandatory:

• addiction workshops
• 12-step recovery meetings
• group and one-on-one therapy sessions
• recovery lectures
• family groups

Our Extended Care Eating Disorder Treatment Programs Lead to Supervised Work, College, or Outpatient Programs in California

As the woman progresses even further into her newly rewarding life free of eating disorders and drug abuse, she will inevitably want to "spread her wings" and resume working or continue her college education. Sober Living by the Sea Treatment Centers also has programs that allow women to continue their supervised abstinence from eating disorder program while working or in school. The T.E.A.C.H. College Program is a groundbreaking structured college program designed specifically for women who are receiving eating disorder treatment to succeed at Southern California colleges while remaining in their support system environment. A woman who started out at the Victorian feeling terrible about herself will soon find that she is earning transferable credits from local Orange County colleges while still receiving clinical guidance and help for her eating disorder recovery program. Women who are students in the T.E.A.C.H. College Program will receive:

• career and academic guidance counseling
• career assessment testing
• transportation to classes with other female students
• academic transcript assistance
• monitored study sessions
• use of our state of the art computer lab

For women who have careers and have been through the eating disorder treatment program at the Victorian of Newport Beach, Sober Living by the Sea also has a Transitional Work Program which is based in Orange County, CA. The Transitional Work program is for women who are continuing their eating disorder support program and also want to return to the workforce. The Transitional Work Program helps women who want to continue their careers and accomplish their professional goals while still being monitored and supported by our multi disciplinary staff of eating disorder and addiction treatment professionals.

Also, women can continue on to Sober Living by the Sea's outpatient program which provides a structured and effective treatment program that includes therapy sessions and educational classes at our eating disorder treatment center in Orange County. The women who participate in our outpatient program live at home. The outpatient program services women not only from Orange County, but also from all over the Southern California area: including Los Angeles, San Bernardino, and Riverside Counties. The outpatient program helps women maintain eating disorder abstinence and sobriety while living on their own.
