Facility overview

Facility Summary:

Center for Discovery La Habra is an eating disorder treatment center located in the northwest corner of Orange County, California, that offers a high level of eating disorder care to young patients of all genders ages 10-18. Center for Discovery La Habra opened in 2015 and is located in the equestrian area of La Habra Heights, east of downtown Los Angeles, with close proximity to the 60 and 91 freeways, just minutes from Disneyland. Treatment modalities we offer include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure & response prevention (ERP) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). This estate-like facility provides around-the-clock supervision and structure for children and teens requiring weight restoration or other advanced dietary and nutritional needs. Therapies such as interpersonal therapy, trauma-informed care and family therapy are practiced on a daily routine in order to teach healthy coping mechanisms to overcome the underlying fear, trauma and low self-esteem associated with each eating disorder. Family therapy and support plays an integral role in residential treatment. Healing, growth and a positive relationship with food is possible with the Center for Discovery Dietary Program. Our approach the CARE-CFD Model, which stands for “consistent attuned relational eating.” This means patients have the steadiness of a dietary plan that is adaptable to what’s happening in their life. The CARE-CFD Model embraces: trauma-focused nutrition therapy; collaboration between patients and the care team; responsiveness to the whole body, including being in tune with the nervous system; and weight inclusivity.
