What methods are used to treat eating disorders?

Numerous types of psychotherapy are used in the treatment of eating disorders, with the most common being cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Nutrition interventions include weight restoration, reversing malnutrition, interrupting dysfunctional eating behaviors, and developing a healthy relationship with food.

 

Are there different levels of treatment for eating disorders?

 

There are five different levels of eating disorder treatment depending on where you are in your recovery journey.

  • Inpatient
  • Residential
  • Partial Hospital Program (PHP)
  • Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
  • Outpatient

 

Inpatient is the highest level of care, which involves around-the-clock monitoring in a hospital setting. As individuals go through the treatment process and become more stable, they move through the different levels of care. Residential care is the next step when the patient needs 24/7 supervision but is no longer medically unstable.

 

Partial hospital and intensive outpatient programs involve varying lengths of time spent at an eating disorder treatment center each week without overnight stays. These range from three to eight hours per day up to five days per week.

 

Outpatient is the lowest level of eating disorder treatment and is best for medically and psychiatrically stable individuals. With continued care from the multidisciplinary team, outpatient care provides long-term recovery support.

 

Your medical team will determine which treatment level is the best starting point for you based on the type of eating disorder, its severity, and your medical and mental health history.
