Carolina House provides a small homelike setting for up to 12 young women ages 17 and older providing 24 hour nursing. The young women that are admitted into the program are medically stable and may be struggling with anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, and related physical and mental health concerns.
The Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) accredits Carolina House. The program adheres to APA (American Psychological Association) Levels of Care guidelines for eating disorders treatment. Using the DBT skill sets, clients examine their current beliefs, worldviews, and core values for increased awareness of the dynamics of their eating disordered behaviors.
The programs Executive Director is Stacie McEntyre, MSW, LCSW, CEDS. She serves as Co-chair for the Certification Committee for the International Association of Eating Disorders Professionals. The Clinical Director Chase Bannister, MSW, MDiv, LCSW completed comprehensive training on the treatment of persons with eating disorders and pursued clinical interests in treating depression, anxiety, grief and loss, and the broad range of emotional, behavioral and interpersonal concerns that arise out of chronic illness and recovery. The rest of the clinical team consists of certified eating disorder specialists, master's and doctoral level psychotherapists, dietitians and a board-certified psychiatrist, each of whom work closely with a 24-hour nursing staff, internal medicine physician, residential patient assistants and full-time chef to ensure that clients receive the most comprehensive and effective treatment available for their eating disorders.
The program is situated in an artisan style farmhouse and surrounded by 10 acres of forest in Durham, North Carolina.
