About Selah House

At Selah House, our success is built on a foundation of evidence-based treatment that prepares adolescent and adult women ages 12 and older for their journey towards lifelong freedom from eating disorders. We offer a unique Christ-centered environment that meets each person where they are in an atmosphere of openness and acceptance without judgement, regardless of personal beliefs.

Our multidisciplinary treatment team utilizes a comprehensive, evidence-based approach that contributes to each client’s healing and transformation process. Specialized therapeutic modalities incorporating individual, family, and group therapies are conducted in a healing and loving environment designed to meet the medical, nutritional, psychological, spiritual, social, and emotional needs of each client. Individualized treatment plans, developed in collaboration with our clients and their families, empower sustainable progress on each client’s road to recovery.

About Our Assessment Approach

At Selah House we use BASIS-24, a leading behavioral assessment tool, to evaluate the results our clients experience post-treatment against similar treatment facilities across the nation. This measurement tool identifies a wide range of symptoms and problems that occur across the diagnostic spectrum using a 5-point Likert scale. The 24 questions are scored using a weighted average algorithm that gives an overall score and scores for six subscales for the following domains: depression and functioning, relationships, self-harm, emotional lability, psychosis, and substance abuse.

Throughout 2020, 80 clients participated in programming with 63 clients completing the BASIS-24 assessment. The questionnaire was administered at admission, mid-treatment or every 30 days, and again at discharge.

“Selah House has an extensive history of providing clinically excellent care for women in a picturesque setting that is naturally conducive for care. 2020 was a test of what was possible for Selah House, and the world, in ways we could have never imagined, but the need for clinically excellent, evidence-based care was never more apparent.

Selah House didn’t let our clients or their families down during such a challenging year and I’m extremely proud of how they continued to outperform the nation with outcomes that enabled our clients to progress on their road towards lasting recovery.”

What Alumni and Families Are Saying

We are proud to help our clients progress in their journeys towards lasting recovery.

Selah House saved and changed my life. I’ve never been met with more compassion, love, and a desire from staff to help me get well. I would 100% recommend it to anyone looking into treatment.

Saved our daughter. The staff was wonderful and communicated so well. It’s great to have my daughter back!!! I would highly recommend Selah House.

Selah was an amazing place to start my healing journey. The staff was loving and supportive. They knew how to challenge my eating disorder, while showing me love and empathy at the same time, gently guiding me along in my recovery. They were very knowledgeable about trauma and how to handle trauma triggers which I greatly appreciated since not all facilities are able to provide that. I would highly recommend Selah House to anyone struggling with an eating disorder.

I’m writing to say thank you to the Selah House team. Today was much more emotional than I anticipated. You all have done such a great job caring for and restoring my daughter back to health, physically and mentally the past two months, that I can’t say thank you enough. She really has changed from the girl we dropped off. This life is a journey, but I know she will always remember her experience there. Thank you again and may God continue to bless, strengthen, and encourage you all in the work that you do.
