Aster Springs Outpatient Nashville

Located in Nashville, Tennessee, the Aster Springs outpatient location centers its work on eating disorder treatment and offers two outpatient levels instead of one fixed schedule. Its partial hospitalization program takes up a larger share of the week with organized care, whereas the intensive outpatient program requires fewer hours and is commonly a next step down after PHP. The team there also addresses mental health needs alongside substance use that often accompany an eating disorder.

The conditions the center names in its own description are anorexia nervosa, binge eating disorder, compulsive exercise disorder, and avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder. Its treatment relies on evidence-based methods, among them exposure and response prevention and trauma-informed cognitive behavioral therapy, with yoga built into the week. The Joint Commission accredits the center, a detail worth confirming as you compare programs. If you are calling about a daughter, a son, or a partner, our helpline can explain what this center offers and where its limits are. Dialing the number costs nothing, stays private, and leaves you free to walk away without enrolling anyone.

Outpatient care at Aster Springs

The center offers two care levels: an intensive outpatient program combined with a partial hospitalization program, both outpatient only. For Tennessee families, this Nashville center offers a PHP and an IOP rather than residential beds. Besides those tracks, the center lists individual counseling, group therapy, family therapy, art therapy, nutrition counseling, and trauma-specific therapy. We cannot describe medication here; if that matters to you, ask the center directly.

Its clinical model is evidence-based and holistic, and the approaches named include acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and exposure and response prevention. Families comparing addiction treatment centers in Tennessee should know this clinic focuses on eating disorders. The program is described as individual and non-12-step. If you are weighing a Tennessee drug rehab center for a substance use disorder, ask whether co-occurring conditions can be treated here before assuming they can, and let the helpline help you compare other programs across the state.

The surroundings and how long care runs

Programming generally runs 30 days, and this is an outpatient clinic located at 2900 Vanderbilt Place, Suite 200B, Nashville, TN 37212. Care is provided in English at a Nashville outpatient location, not inside a residential facility. Since nobody stays overnight, participants usually live at home or in nearby housing throughout the program. When a 30-day outpatient plan cannot keep someone safe, our helpline can review other SAMHSA-listed options across Tennessee and explain what each level of care looks like.

Paying for care and insurance

The center lists self-pay prices and takes a number of insurance plans, but what you actually owe depends on your own policy and the level of care you need. Ask the center to verify your benefits before the first visit, then confirm what the helpline finds out. If a PHP is recommended, the hours billed can look different from an IOP's, so the cost changes with the track. Our helpline connects you with advisors who can reach out to providers with you to ask about openings and coverage; the call is free, stays private, and leaves you under no obligation. We cannot promise any plan will pay or that a bed or opening will be open.
