Welcome to New Dawn!

Program History

In 2005, New Dawn established the first comprehensive intensive outpatient (IOP) and partial hospitalization (PHP) eating disorders treatment program in Marin County, located on the serene shores of Sausalito, California. This program was also the first and only program in all of the Bay Area to receive international accreditation by CARF, an organization committed to ensuring that the highest standards of treatment and patient-centered care are provided at all phases of treatment. In early 2010, New Dawn opened the first licensed residential eating disorders treatment program in northern California, located in the beautiful neighborhood of Pacific Heights, along with affordable housing for PHP clients.

Our Eating Disorders Treatment Approach

Our experienced staff of doctors, registered dieticians, licensed psychologists, psychotherapists, art therapists, and nursing staff collaborate for a multidisciplinary approach that is individualized and patient centered. This holistic approach to recovery focuses on treating the whole person and not just the disordered eating symptoms. Individualized treatment plans that address the medical, psychological, nutritional, and interpersonal needs of each patient, and that involve the family in the recovery process are central to ensuring positive and lasting change. Additionally, for the convenience of those who are working or in school, our intensive outpatient and partial hospitalization programs are offered all day, five days a week and can be tailored to fit each person's schedule.
 

Residential Treatment Program

Our residential setting is a welcome alternative to standard inpatient hospitalization, which is more costly and less therapeutic. Standard inpatient hospitalization also typically allows for only a short stay, where the physical symptoms are treated but not the emotional and psychological issues that are driving the disordered eating. New Dawn's residential program is licensed by the California Department of Health and offers a safe, therapeutic and compassionate environment. In a warm, home-like setting residents have the opportunity to shed unhealthy behaviors and replace them with positive coping skills while under the constant care and monitoring of an experienced medical team.
