About Our ED-IOP
Download Our Client Information Packet.
Our unique IOP is an excellent fit for adults and young adults struggling with eating disordered behaviors who may need more support than traditional outpatient services can offer or are transitioning to the community from a higher level of care. Individuals partner with our IOP to:
- avoid hospitalization and other higher levels of care
- receive more treatment in fewer weeks or make rapid progress due to time constraints (e.g., returning to school or work) or travel limitations (e.g., living a far distance from where treatment is available)
- achieve greater structure and support than is available through standard outpatient care
- find treatment effective for problems which are more complex, severe, and potentially life-threatening and require more frequent care
- “start strong” before starting standard outpatient DBT
Our ED-IOP is built on a firm DBT foundation and is provided in a DBT-adherent setting by expert clinicians.
