The treatment team consists of Psychiatrists, Program Coordinator, Master's level Therapists, Social Workers, a Registered Dietician, Therapeutic Recreation Specialists, Mental Health Counselors and Registered Nurses. This multidisciplinary team assesses the unique biopsychosocial needs of each patient and develops an individualized treatment plan to address each of those needs. Patients participate in a highly structured day with a focus on therapeutic, psychoeducational and life skills groups. Individual and family therapy is included as an integral part of treatment. Outpatient providers are actively encouraged to participate in treatment team and network meetings.
Patients receive medical, psychological, and nutritional assessments and monitoring.
Because family members' support is often a critical part of recovery, family members and significant others are encouraged to attend family meetings and specialized meals designed to provide them with education and guidance. We also work closely with each patient's outpatient treatment team to coordinate care. In order to assist with the transition back to outpatient treatment, each treatment provider will receive a copy of the patient's individualized, comprehensive discharge contract. For those in need of outpatient services, the Center maintains a referral list of eating disorder specialists and will assist patients in constructing an outpatient team. Education regarding community resources is also provided.
