We are pleased to share with you that TranscendED has been accredited by CARF International for a period of three years for its adult and adolescent partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programs for individuals with eating disorders. By pursuing and achieving accreditation, TranscendED has demonstrated that it meets international standards for quality and is committed to pursuing excellence with the eating-disordered population. This accreditation decision represents the highest level of accreditation that can be awarded to an organization and shows our organization’s substantial conformance to the CARF standards. An organization receiving a Three-Year Accreditation has put itself through a rigorous peer-review process. It has demonstrated to a team of surveyors during an on-site visit its commitment to offering programs and services that are measurable, accountable, and of the highest quality. TranscendED Is An Agency That Has Been Providing Treatment For Eating Disorders In The Charlotte Area Since 2013. CARF is an independent, nonprofit accrediting body whose mission is to promote the quality, value, and optimal outcomes of services through a consultative accreditation process that centers on enhancing the lives of the persons served. Founded in 1966 as the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities, and now known as CARF International, the accrediting body establishes consumer-focused standards to help organizations measure and improve the quality of their programs and services. We would welcome an opportunity to further acquaint you with our services and respond to any questions you may have. We believe our organization is a valuable asset to the community, and our CARF accreditation underscores our commitment to the clients we serve. As a result of the accreditation, we have been able to extend our payer sources to include many private insurance companies (BCBS, Cigna, CBHA, Medcost, Magellan, Optum/UBH, Aetna) in addition to continuing to serve Medicaid consumers.

Rise Residential
Program

The residential program is for individuals who require intensive supervised treatment in a residential setting for the management of symptoms.

Partial
Hospitalization

The Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is for individuals who are medically stable and can live independently or with family support but require intensive treatment for the management of symptoms.

Intensive
Outpatient Program

The Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is for individuals suffering from eating disorders and is often used as a step-down from PHP on the road to recovery.

Aftercare & Outpatient
Services

Aftercare planning begins on the first day of admission to ensure an individual’s treatment plan is sustainable and they will have the support they need even after they graduate our program.

People often say that music is their therapy. For music to have such a positive impact on the lives of others is refreshing for me. It sometimes can be difficult for individuals to differentiate between music enhancing a mood they have and clinical music therapy. At TranscendED our board certified music therapist provides music-based interventions to assist patients in expressing, validating, and/or evoking emotions. Often times, patients are able to achieve self-confidence and better connection with their emotional processes, mostly due to music therapy being a non-threatening treatment modality. Music first effects individuals emotionally before cognitively, thus allowing patients who find it difficult to experience emotions the ability to do so in a safe environment. Below you will find articles written by our board certified music therapist and program director, Dean Quick, MT-BC: Music Therapy in the Treatment of Eating Disorders Part 1 Music Therapy in the Treatment of Eating Disorders Part 2 Music Therapy in the Treatment of Eating Disorders Part 3
