If you would like to stay longer than the four-week program, Duke Diet & Fitness Center offers extended stays on a weekly basis for up to a total three-month stay.

This option is best suited for clients who:

• Have been severely challenged by excess weight, lack of physical fitness and desire an extended, supervised weight loss program;
• Wish to work through the emotional transitions associated with weight loss;
• Or want to fully explore weight-related or other issues in their lives

We provide a supportive, caring environment to work on major life changes.

Participants continue to attend the center's daily scheduled activities for up to twelve weeks while maintaining close contact with the professional staff. We do not often encourage stays longer than 12 weeks, since it is more beneficial for clients to practice the new skills at home. We consider such requests on a case-by-case basis.
