Facility Description
At Austin Sendero we offer residential treatment for both males and females, ages 17 and up, who suffer from anorexia, bulimia, and binge or compulsive eating disorders. We are unique in that we offer a fitness component as part of the therapeutic plan. We are located less than 40 miles northeast of downtown Austin, Texas in a tranquil rural environment and offer patients a soothing and tranquil setting in which to begin the healing process.



Treatment Philosophy
We teach health fitness habits alongside healthy eating habits. Our facility welcomes athletes with eating disorders and fitness trainers are available to help patients create healthy individualized fitness programs. Few facilities have a fitness component to it as many patients with eating disorders tend to use exercise as a means of compensating for binge eating.

Family Program
Family therapy is available, as eating disorders tend to involve the entire family. However this is not the core of the program it is one of the components.

Twelve Step Involvement
While we do not utilize a 12 step program in our treatment center, we do utilize Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). DBT is founded in behaviorist theory but utilizes cognitive therapy elements. However, unlike cognitive therapy it incorporates mindfulness as a core component of the therapy.
