Eating Disorder Programs

Open an eating disorder program built around recovery.

PHP and IOP programs need more than a typical treatment center: registered dietitians, supervised meals, medical monitoring, and a team that works together. We set it all up, A to Z.

What Makes It Different

Eating disorder care takes a specialized team.

These programs combine medical, nutrition, and therapy care in one place. Your policies, staffing, and space all have to support that — and we build them so they do.

Medical monitoring

Regular medical checks by providers who understand eating disorders.

Nutrition therapy

Registered dietitians build meal plans and nutrition education into every week.

Supervised meals

Meals and snacks eaten together with staff support, a core part of treatment.

Therapy & family support

Individual, group, and family therapy working alongside the medical and nutrition team.

Two Levels of Care

PHP and IOP, each set up A to Z.

Open one or both. Many programs run them together so clients can step down from PHP to IOP as they progress.
