Eating Disorder

Our Eating Disorder Intensive Outpatient Program (EDIOP):

We view eating disorders as serious health conditions that can be physically and emotionally debilitating. These disorders require early diagnosis by professionals and intervention to enhance recovery. Without adequate treatment eating disorders can become chronic and even life-threatening.

We offer two EDIOP groups:

1) An adolescent group for girls and boys ages 12 to 17

2) An adult group for women and men ages 18 and up.

Size and Duration of the program:
Each group includes up to 8 individuals with various eating disorders. The program is usually 9 hours per week for 12 weeks. However, based on the nature and the extent of the difficulties the individual is experiencing, the duration might change.

What we offer to each individual:

  • Individual Psychotherapy: Meeting with a therapist as needed.
  • Group therapy: Process, cognitive behavioral therapy, relapse prevention, art therapy, body awareness, stress management, weekly nutritional counseling, family therapy, and biofeedback as needed
  • Medication Management: Meeting with a psychiatrist as needed

The professional staff:

Our multidisciplinary treatment team is comprised of physicians, clinical psychologists, clinical social workers, nutritionists, and occupational therapists.

The cost of treatment:

We accept most major health insurances. We will verify your insurance benefits and inform you prior to your admission. For those without health insurance, the cost of the EDIOP ranges from $900-$1200 per week depending on the needs of each individual. For individuals with financial hardship, a discount will be considered.
