The following statement was today issued on the recent Justice Department settlement:
Response from Castlewood
Castlewood’s sole intent in this matter was to assure optimal patient care. After evaluating all pertinent factors Castlewood’s professional staff concluded that the prospective patient would receive more appropriate care at an in-patient facility. Castlewood has always and continues to put the interests of those seeking treatment above everything else and does not discriminate in patient care.

The following statement was today issued by Castlewood Treatment Center in response to media and other inquiries regarding a recent court filing:
Response From Castlewood
The allegations in this and the other cookie cutter-style lawsuits filed by the plaintiff’s attorney in this case against Castlewood are categorically false. Like the other complaints, this one aims to generate publicity with bizarre, lurid allegations that are the stuff of Hollywood.
Castlewood’s dedicated professionals deserve better than to be maligned in this manner. Countless individuals who, along with their loved ones, once feared all options had run out have sought and received treatment for anorexia and bulimia at Castlewood, one of the rare facilities specializing in eating issues involving post-traumatic stress often caused by sexual abuse. Further testament to Castlewood’s professionalism is the fact that other treatment centers look to it as a beacon of hope for their most severe cases when they are unable to treat those patients.

The following statement was today issued by Castlewood Treatment Center in response to media and other inquiries regarding a recent court filing:
Response from Castlewood
Whenever there is a lawsuit with publicity, others want to jump on the bandwagon. Castlewood is known nationally and internationally for specializing in the treatment of anorexia and bulimia. In addition, it is one of the few facilities that also specializes in eating disorders with post-traumatic stress disorder often caused by sexual abuse. The Castlewood staff are leading experts in the field and lecture throughout the country to literally hundreds of thousands of professionals. When clients go from one treatment center to the next without getting better, they often are referred to Castlewood, even from other treatment centers. Of the thousands of clients treated, most are extremely grateful but there will be a few who are angry and need someone to blame – and there will always be lawyers waiting. We will defend the case vigorously and let justice prevail.

Recently, litigation filed by a plaintiff’s attorney made a series of false allegations about care provided to two former Castlewood clients. While we cannot comment in detail on pending litigation, we want those of you who know Castlewood to hear directly from us about this situation. Following is our response.
Response
Litigation filed by a plaintiff’s attorney contains numerous false, absurd and bizarre allegations that we patently reject. Eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of any mental disorder. Therefore we take very seriously the work we do helping clients deal with this life-threatening illness. False allegations of this sort belittle the efforts of dozens of dedicated and trained healthcare professionals who are working every day to help clients address and recover from eating disorders. For more than a decade Castlewood has provided quality care to more than 1,000 clients suffering from severe Anorexia, Bulimia and Compulsive Overeating – among the most complex health conditions.
