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

  o Therapy groups

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.

• 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
