FAQs about adolescent inpatient eating disorder treatment
Our inpatient level of care is for clients needing high medical oversight and who may be too medically compromised for traditional residential eating disorder treatment facilities. We provide 24/7 medical, psychiatric, clinical, and nutritional assessment, oversight, and care as well as NG tube feeding and IV hydration if needed. The goal is for the client to be medically stabilized to step down to residential treatment.
Each client’s journey to recovery is unique, and treatment duration varies. On average, we see an average length of stay of 6 weeks at each level of care.
