I’ve seen the only other negative review of milestones taken down, and they do ask for a positive review when you complete their program. I did not and was asked to leave AMA. I will be completely transparent about that and also as non-bias as I can be with this review. I will start with the positives. The resident assistants who work in the apartments go above and beyond in every way. They are very personable and work incredibly hard. The art therapist is also incredible and taught me so much in my time at milestones. Now for my concerns: This is not a Health at Every Size Environment. I do not believe they are completely transparent with their approach to recovery so that is why I am writing this review. The treatment is based on food addiction and teaching abstinence to certain types of food such as flour and white sugar. They take you grocery shopping and monitor everything you purchase. The food plan itself has many different food rules. The nutritionist even once used the words “high calorically” with me. When brought to another eating disorder dietician I was informed that the plan I was on was not enough food and they were concerned by the food rules I had learned in this facility. Their strongest therapist is provided via zoom, and many groups are all conducted in the same room from 9am -3 pm. They also take you to exercise classes 3 times a week. Some even reminded me of cross fit and were done in front of mirrors. It almost felt like a diet/exercise camp than a recovery program. Lack of emphasis on healing the relationship with food and body and body acceptance. I felt like I learned very little if not nothing about these areas. Many of the Overeaters anonymous groups we had to have mandatory attendance for spoke highly of their weight loss, talked about weight, and I found to be very unhelpful to having a healthy relationship with food and body. This program puts you on a plan of abstinent eating that has you weigh and measure everything out, and teaches u to ask restaurants not to cook your food with oil or butter, etc. I found myself feeling more restricted in this plan than I did in active disordered behavior. I’m very grateful for the team I have established outside of this program, and also the coping skills I learned in this program, but in my opinion the overall tactics were not helpful for my relationship with food and body and still very actively rooted in diet culture. There will be no intuitive eating or food freedom following the Milestones program.

My treatment at Milestones interrupted over 20 years of food addiction and gave me a solid path to recovery. The philosophy here is simple, effective.and brilliant. Followed by intense involvement in OA, today I am free of the compulsion and very happy. Forever grateful!

Milestones is the miracle that saved my life. I struggled with food addiction and disordered eating for forty years with shorter periods of abstinence followed by worsening, crippling relapses. Milestones provided the safe space I needed away from the food first, then small group therapy with a few different therapists and topnotch one-to-one therapy. Not so much to cure everything in my life, but to establish with their expertise and my feedback what my body really requires for balance. All this in completely normal, non-hospital spaces,-- living and work. Clients live in apartments in small groups, and shop for and prepare meals ourselves. Not easy under the best of circumstances, but additionally supportive that both main spaces are surrounded by ponds, waterways, and wildlife.

Great center that helped me regain control and confidence over my issues with food. The staff is very accommodating and warm. They understand food addiction extremely well and how to tackle it properly. I learned that I wasn’t truly isolated after thinking I was for so long. The groups and community helped so much with it.

All The therapists are phenomenal. Administration is great and efficient. Admission was easy. The apartments are not great but livable. They teach you how to live outside of treatment. Food shopping, cooking ect. I would come back if I need to. This was my second visit. The food plan really really works. I was taught so much about nutrition. Thank you Milestones. If you need help go you won't be disappointed

I've tried to receive treatment at this facility twice and both times ended up being ignored. The first interaction, I was told I was "too sick for treatment" and I had to reach a certain BMI and be medically stabilized first. I received that treatment elsewhere and met that criteria. When I reached back out to this facility, they seemed very hopeful that I would be able to get treatment there. I was unwilling to do residential since I am out of state with a small child. I was told that was fine and understandable, so we went ahead and scheduled an assessment. When I did the assessment they informed me I would have to do residential treatment for a minimum of 30 days before transitioning down to PHP or IOP. When I said that was not what I was told prior, I was informed someone would call me back and speak to me about it. No one has reached out and the woman I spoke to hung up on me while I was talking to her. My insurance does not cover many treatment options, so I was very happy to have found somewhere that offered virtual OP treatment covered by my insurance. Very disappointing that I wasted my time twice.
