I was at Reflections from June until November and had a great experience. I completed both PHP and IOP there as a step down from Walden inpatient. I honestly couldn’t recommend this program more. The patient population tends to have very motivated and awesome people, and due to the small numbers it tends to be very close. The staff are caring and friendly with the clients, while still pushing you very hard. You have three groups, lunch (some people also eat breakfast there), and two snacks. The groups are DBT skills groups, processing groups, art groups, nursing groups, nutrition groups, and best of all music group 2x a week. The program goes from 8:45/9am (depending if you eat breakfast there)-3pm everyday. You get vitals 3x a week, labs between 3x per week to 1x every other week depending on medical stability. I honestly could not recommend this program more. It is extremely recovery oriented, the staff are great, and it doesn’t have the competitive/toxic vibe that exists at most higher levels of care. The groups are good about 90% of the time (I thought groups at walden were good 10% of the time for the record). They are also phenomenal about coordinating with hloc and op providers. Genuinely this program changed my life!
I was a patient at the Reflections Salem NH eating disorder treatment program from March 13th until July 3rd, 2024. My treatment stay was purely IOP for insurance reasons, which looked like 3 days a week from 9am until 3pm. I was there for 2 co-occurring ED’s, one of which being ARFID which I felt they treated well despite it being less common. There were people there on both a PHP and IOP level, and the only difference was whether or not they attended 3 days or 5 days. Reflections itself doesn’t have an inpatient program, however Parkland hospital does have a voluntary mental health inpatient program for those at the ‘Parkland Center for Emotional Wellness’ which has both inpatient and their own mental health based PHP treating people 18+. Some people came to Reflections as a step down from a higher level of care, and some people just came to Reflections. They accept a multitude of ages and genders, and work with many insurances (which most other programs wouldn’t touch NH Healthy Families).
A typical day looks like this:
9:00am Vitals (and breakfast for those who eat at program)
9:30am Goals
10:00am AM Snack
10:30am ~Group~
**5-10 minute break
11:15am ~Group~
12:00pm Lunch
12:30pm Break
1:00pm ~Group~
2:00pm Journaling
2:30pm PM Snack & Wrap Up
Snacks and lunch are provided, and there is a kitchen but there’s also the option to order soups, salads, sandwiches, paninis, etc. from a local restaurant, which many patients do instead of working with the dietitian to cook or heat up another lunch option. The meal plans are exchange based, and pretty typical. The dietitian meets with clients once a week 1:1, but is also out at meals eating with patients and runs nutrition and cooking groups. There are two nurses who work different days who do vitals (however you’re sent upstairs to the lab for bloodwork however often it’s ordered), the nurses also run groups on general health, hygiene, mindfulness, and one of them often does some art. Once a week a yoga instructor comes in to do mindful movement. Twice a week a music therapist comes in and runs so many fun groups (my favorite group). Finally between meeting with patients the therapists will run therapy groups, which are skills based or processing groups (CBT, DBT, executive functioning, self-esteem, internal family systems, attachment, communication, etc.). The therapists (if they aren’t meeting with patients) and whichever nurse is on staff will eat with the group at meals and snacks. You also meet with a psychiatrist once a week or every other week, but they are only at Reflections during the time they’re meeting with patients.
When I left in July, there were mentions of opening a secondary location in NH for Reflections Eating Disorder treatment. I’m not sure how close they are to achieving this, but there were beginnings on these efforts.
I called them to discuss going to inpatient here, and they said they dont offer inpatient. The only level of care they offer is PHP
