Why the Victorian is Different
For many years The Victorian of Newport Beach has provided exclusive and effective treatment of bulimia, anorexia, and compulsive overeating in a phenomenal Victorian home located in California’s premiere tourist destination – Newport Beach. Our facility, staff, and methods are the absolute pinnacle of safe and responsible care for a bulimic, anorexic, or compulsive overeating woman. The experience is warm and intimate and the girl who is in treatment will feel a new sense of self esteem growing as she spends time bonding with our sophisticated and highly credentialed staff of experts and other women who have begun the process of changing and healing.
The Victorian of Newport Beach has achieved an excellent reputation in the field eating disorder treatment by creating a very active and highly supervised treatment program tailored just for women who are suffering from compulsive overeating, bulimia, or anorexia. Our staff is published, compassionate, and dedicated to their clinical duties. The experience for our clients will feel like they are a guest at an incredibly welcoming and impeccable Victorian house, but our clients will actually be receiving treatment and learning new ways to live and look at themselves that will allow them to change their pattern of destructive food behavior. All of the treatment will occur steps away from the beautiful and healing sands of Newport Beach. The Victorian also has the benefit of twenty three years of experience gained in belonging to the network of Sober Living by the Sea Treatment Facilities.
