Staff work with each client to set and evaluate their treatment goals for recovery and preparations for returning home. For nearly 20 years, the Menninger Eating Disorders program has focused on providing a thorough assessment and treatment plan to help ensure recovery and minimize relapse. Thorough diagnosis combines medical, psychiatric, nutritional, activity, and family assessments. With the understanding gained from the diagnostic process, our experienced staff designs an individualized treatment plan that integrates medical, emotional, social, and spiritual therapies. Providing ongoing contact with family members and referring professionals is a priority.
Staff work closely with the needs and goals of each client and their family.
Family members learn about their loved one's disorder, treatment, and aftercare by participating in the family support program. Family therapy for additional support may be requested. In addition, the treatment team keeps referring professionals appraised of their client's progress while at Menninger and collaborates on discharge planning. The multidisciplinary staff marshals a wide range of experience and expertise to help clients. Each treatment team includes a board-certified child or adult psychiatrist, psychologist, social worker, registered dietician, activity therapist, and nursing staff.
