Meeting Patients Where They Are and Guiding Them to Recovery

Eating Recovery Center is removing the barriers that can keep patients with anorexia, bulimia, and other eating disorders from receiving treatment. Through telebehavioral health programming, our Virtual Intensive Outpatient Program (Virtual IOP) now offers the same world-class care—and outcomes—as our in-person treatment centers of excellence, for patients who:

  • Live in locations with limited access to treatment
  • Have time constraints due to work, school, or family obligations
  • Are reluctant to receive treatment in person

Flexible, Individualized Treatment to Meet Patient Needs
With just a computer and internet connection, patients can participate in a comprehensive, guided eating disorder treatment program from their home, office, college dorm, or other private place, no matter where they are in life or their journey to recovery.

  • Led by our team of licensed, renowned professionals with extensive training in telebehavioral health ethics and delivery
  • Collaborative care teams – therapist, psychiatrist, and dietician provide virtual online therapy and treatment
  • Small group sessions that allow patients to connect with peers and practice their skills in a supportive setting
  • Joint Commissioned Accredited Programs
  • Secure, encrypted software ensures therapy sessions are confidential and HIPAA-compliant
  • Program offered in evening hours to accommodate busy schedules

Structured For Convenience

  • Three, 3-hour groups weekly including:
    o Therapy groups
    o Nutrition groups
    o Meal support
  • One weekly individual/family therapy session
  • Bi-weekly sessions with a registered dietician
  • Recovery Record mobile app, with a mood and food tracking log that keeps the treatment team connected to patients.

What We Treat

  • Anorexia Nervosa
  • Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID)
  • Binge Eating Disorder (BED)
  • Bulimia Nervosa
  • Compulsive Overeating

The Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) at Eating Recovery Center empowers patients to take ownership of their recovery and become active participants in their lives. Our Intensive Outpatient program is a flexible eating disorder treatment program that allows patients to work, go to school, or care for children during the day and sleep at home at night.

In IOP, patients are in treatment up to three days per week for up to 9 hours per week. Programming includes nutritional counseling, individual therapy, family therapy, supported meals and more.

Experienced professionals employ a number of therapeutic interventions in IOP, including:

  • Family-Centered Treatment
  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
  • Cognitive-Behavioral Treatment (CBT)

The program also incorporates core recovery principles, values, mindfulness, and connectedness.

The IOP can serve as a step-down level of care, helping to foster a positive transition into activities of daily living for adults upon discharging from our Residential or Partial Hospitalization programs. IOP can also be leveraged as a direct-admit level of care for adult patients requiring a higher level of care from an outpatient setting - allowing them to remain engaged with their lives.

What We Treat

  • Anorexia Nervosa
  • Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID)

Our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) offers some of the same intensity and structure of Residential eating disorder treatment while providing additional opportunities to practice recovery outside of the controlled eating disorder treatment environment during evenings at home or in peer-supported apartment communities.

Unlike many Partial Hospitalization Programs that only offer 6 hours of eating disorder treatment, 5 days per week, our Partial Hospitalization Program offers patients a full day of treatment, 7 days per week.

By offering a full day of adult eating disorder treatment programming every day of the week, patients are supported through all meals and snacks with ample structure and containment to achieve symptom interruption and/or weight restoration.

Programming in our Partial Hospitalization program emphasizes the development of lifelong recovery skills in a safe, structured, and supportive environment. A well-rounded curriculum offers staff-supported opportunities to practice interactions and challenges outside of treatment through many avenues, including:

  • Interactive group sessions
  • Transitions groups
  • Process groups
  • Art therapy
  • Psychodrama
  • Cooking groups
  • Restaurant outings
  • Yoga
  • Addiction groups

In the Spring of 2022 our  Children’s Cancer Support Center opened it’s doors  to address this problem directly by providing special programming that offers cancer support groups, bereavement support groups, educational workshops, health and wellness support, resources and referrals as well as social activities for families. It’s the city’s first cancer support center exclusively for children. 

Our programs are designed to empower parents by providing them with the tools necessary to improve their social connections, give them sense of control and provide a holistic approach to help them navigate their child’s cancer diagnosis.

CAST MED was created to add to the pipeline of much-needed doctors and researchers in the San Antonio area. CAST MED builds on San Antonio’s unique strengths and current educational gaps with an emphasis on medicine and biomedical research. UT Health, with its research expertise and growing focus on population health and health disparities, is a key partner in helping design a path for students wishing to improve the health of our community. CAST MED will incorporate a three-way educational partnership between UT Health, the University of Texas at San Antonio, and San Antonio ISD.

Students enrolled in CAST MED will follow one of three pathways:

  • Biomedical Research
  • Medical Professionals
  • Public Health Professionals

Student enrollment is open to students across Bexar County through a lottery system. The application period for the cohort of ninth graders begins each November and ends in late January. Please call the school for updates on enrollment and registration, since they do change.

The intent of CAST Med High School is to provide high school students with a strong foundation, especially in mathematics and science so that they can be successful once they enroll in college and achieve their medical career aspirations. College coursework will be embedded in the classroom curriculum, allowing students to graduate with a high school diploma and a minimum of 30 hours of college coursework.

A Wesley Nurse is a faith-based community nurse. The professional practice of the Wesley Nurse is not limited to the physical dimension of medical needs; rather, it includes a mind, body and spirit holistic approach.

Programs and services include:

  • Health education
  • Individualized diabetes education
  • Diabetic supplies
  • Referral assistance
  • Facilitation of resources
  • Exercise classes

While the Wesley Nurse program is a component of Methodist Healthcare Ministries' ecumenical outreach and located within churches, it does not teach a set of denominational beliefs.

All members of the community are welcome.

Free.
