WHAT TO EXPECT

Advantages of eating disorder intensive outpatient treatment

At this treatment level, clients and families receive the most intensive care. We offer both in-person and virtual PHP and IOP care, providing flexible, structured support. In-person day treatment includes therapy, supported meals, and medical oversight in a safe, therapeutic setting. Virtual care delivers the same comprehensive treatment remotely, allowing clients to stay connected from home.

Across both formats, we partner with each client’s existing outpatient providers to ensure seamless, coordinated care that supports lasting recovery. We offer a highly structured, therapeutic program to stabilize clients both medically and behaviorally.

FAQs about intensive outpatient eating disorder treatment

Explore questions that we often get related to this level of care.
What is outpatient treatment for eating disorders?

Outpatient treatment is designed for individuals who are medically stable and able to manage their condition with less frequent care. This treatment is ideal for those who can live independently while attending therapy sessions on a weekly basis.

What is outpatient eating disorder treatment like?

Outpatient treatment typically involves attending therapy and support sessions several times a week, either in person or virtually. Depending on the level of care—such as Intensive Outpatient (IOP) or Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)—the structure may range from a few hours a day to full-day programming. Clients work with a multidisciplinary team to address the emotional, behavioral, and nutritional aspects of recovery, while applying skills in their everyday lives.

‍

What is the difference between inpatient and outpatient eating disorder treatment?

Outpatient care is a great option if you're looking for flexible treatment without the need for 24-hour supervision. It's suitable for people in the recovery phase or those whose illness is manageable with periodic therapy.

‍Inpatient treatment is essential for individuals in more critical situations who require immediate stabilization and/or around-the-clock monitoring and support.

‍

What is the difference between outpatient treatment and intensive outpatient treatment?

‍Outpatient Treatment:
This level of care is for people who’ve built a solid foundation in recovery and feel ready to continue healing while living at home. It works well for those who can manage daily life with regular check-ins from their treatment team.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP):
IOP provides extra support through a structured schedule of therapy and care, without needing to stay overnight. It’s meant for those who need more than weekly therapy alone - offering both individual and group sessions to help keep recovery moving forward.
