About Center For Discovery Fairfax Virginia

Located just 14 miles from Washington, D.C., Center for Discovery Fairfax provides specialized residential and partial hospitalization treatment for adolescents ages 10-18 struggling with eating disorders. Their gender-inclusive residential program creates a structured environment where clients can focus entirely on recovery, free from external stressors. The daily routine includes consistent wake-up times, bedtimes, chores, and mealtimes, helping residents maintain responsibility while establishing healthy patterns. The comprehensive treatment approach incorporates multiple therapy modalities, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). Clients typically engage in five to six hours of individual, group, and family therapy daily, complemented by structured mealtimes and social activities. Treatment is grounded in the Health at Every Size (HAES) philosophy, which promotes body acceptance and focuses on health-supporting behaviors rather than weight. Yoga therapy sessions occur twice weekly as part of the holistic program. The Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) serves as a middle ground between residential and outpatient care. Meeting 5-6 days weekly, it offers similar structured support during the day while allowing clients to return home each night. This arrangement provides both intensive treatment and opportunities to practice new skills in real-world settings. The program includes meal support at the facility and at home, helping clients implement nutritional strategies in different environments. Center for Discovery also offers free online eating disorder support groups for PHP participants, creating additional community connections during recovery.
