The Eating Disorders Program provides comprehensive diagnostic evaluations and a continuum of care for anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and related disorders of eating and weight.

LEVELS OF CARE
Continuity of treatment at all levels of care is maintained by ongoing communication with appropriate family members, community agencies, service providers, and referring professionals.

  • OUTPATIENT PROGRAM
  • For those not requiring hospitalization or who have completed an inpatient program, specialized outpatient services enable patients to continue treatment while living in the community and continuing at work or school.

  • PARTIAL HOSPITALIZATION PROGRAM
  • This brief, three to five days per week ambulatory treatment alternative provides a medically-managed, therapeutic setting for those experiencing acute exacerbation of an eating disorder, as well as for those who need a step-down or transitional program following inpatient care.

  • INPATIENT PROGRAM
  • This structured milieu is designed for more seriously ill anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa patients. Individual and group psychotherapy, family counseling, and medical care are integral to the program.

  • ADOLESCENT INPATIENT PROGRAM
  • Designed to meet the age-specific needs of adolescents, this program includes family therapy, accredited schooling, parents' group therapy, and therapeutic recreational activities.

Managed care plans, other insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted.

Nelle fasi iniziali gli incontri hanno una frequenza settimanale, successivamente viene stabilito uno schema individualizzato sulla base dei miglioramenti raggiunti, delle condizioni cliniche del paziente, delle sue esigenze.
