Hello jajik1-ga,
I?ve located some residential wellness programs that are similar to
the ones from the Pritikin Longevity Centers. I found a 1998 article
that named four programs that seemed exactly what you were looking for
? 1) The McDougall Program at St. Helena Health Center, 2) NEWSTART
Lifestyle Program at the Weimar Institute, 3) Wildwood Lifestyle
Center Programs, and 4) Dr. Dean Ornish, Preventive Medicine Research
Institute (PMRI) Residential Program.

Physician?s Committee for Responsible Medicine
PCRM Weighs Diet Programs
Four programs received an excellent rating. Most of these programs
mirror the effective nutritional approach of the leading researchers
who run them. They do not focus on portion size and, in fact, lay
little if any blame on their clients? appetites. Instead, they use
foods that are high in fiber and complex carbohydrates while avoiding
animal products, oils, and overly refined products.
The McDougall Program at St. Helena Health Center
(Deer Park, Calif.)
This 12-day, live-in program emphasizes permanent lifestyle changes
for achieving and maintaining good health and weight loss, using an
optimal dietary regimen of low-fat, cholesterol-free, vegetarian
foods, as well as instruction in nutrition, stress management,
cooking, and exercise.
NEWSTART Lifestyle Program at the Weimar Institute
(Weimar, Calif.)
The NEWSTART 12- and 18-day, live-in programs emphasize permanent
lifestyle changes for achieving and maintaining good health and weight
loss, using low-fat, cholesterol-free, vegetarian foods, as well as
instruction in nutrition, exercise, cooking, and stress management.
Wildwood Lifestyle Center
(Wildwood, Ga.)
Wildwood?s 10- and 17-day, live-in programs emphasize permanent
lifestyle changes for achieving and maintaining good health and weight
loss, using low-fat, cholesterol-free, vegetarian foods, as well as
instruction in nutrition, stress management, cooking, and exercise.
Preventive Medicine Research Institute (PMRI)
(Sausalito, Calif.)
Several times each year, PMRI offers state-of-the-art, one-week
residential retreats which emphasize permanent lifestyle changes for
achieving and maintaining good health and weight loss, using low-fat
vegetarian foods, as well as instruction in nutrition, stress
management, cooking, exercise, and consultations with medical staff.
Not surprisingly, some of these programs have changed, been
transferred to new owners, have been discontinued or modified. After
some searching, here are the ones I?ve been able to locate for you.
Only one, the Whitaker Wellness Institute, offers a one week program.
The others are a bit longer. I don?t know if this is an absolute
limitation for you.
I believe the programs I?ve listed will provide you with a variety of
residential programs for healthy living and lifestyle adjustment.
Please don?t hesitate to ask for clarification on any of these
resources.
Wishing you the best of health.

THE MCDOUGALL PROGRAM
=====================
http://www.drmcdougall.com/health.html
The McDougall 10-day live-in program at the Flamingo Hotel and Resort
in Santa Rosa, California.
The McDougall Program is dedicated to helping you stop all unnecessary
medications, avoid surgery, and regain your lost health and
appearance.
Most (over 90%) of people are able to stop their medications for
hypertension, type-2 diabetes, arthritis, indigestion and
constipation?just to name a few common problems the McDougall Program
treats successfully. Those who must stay on medications are usually
able to switch to simpler, safer, more effective, and less expensive
remedies. You will not find drug reps bringing donuts to Dr.
McDougall?s office.
