### **Understanding Eating Disorder Treatment**

Eating disorders are complex medical and mental health conditions that often require support from multiple professionals working together.

Depending on the severity of symptoms, treatment may involve outpatient therapy, nutritional counseling, intensive outpatient programs (IOP), partial hospitalization programs (PHP), residential treatment, or a combination of these services.

The providers listed throughout this resource directory offer different levels of care to help meet the unique needs of each child, adolescent, or young adult.

### **What Conditions Are Commonly Treated?**

Eating disorder treatment providers may work with individuals experiencing:

- Anorexia Nervosa
- Bulimia Nervosa
- Binge Eating Disorder
- Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID)
- Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorders (OSFED)
- Disordered eating patterns
- Body image concerns
- Weight and shape preoccupation

Eating disorders often affect both physical health and emotional well-being, which is why treatment frequently involves a multidisciplinary team.

### **Understanding the Different Levels of Care**

#### **Outpatient Therapy**

Outpatient therapy is typically appropriate for individuals who are medically stable and able to participate in treatment while living at home.

Therapy may focus on:

- eating disorder recovery
- body image concerns
- anxiety and depression
- coping skills
- family support

#### **Nutrition Counseling / Dietitian Services**

Registered dietitians with eating disorder expertise help individuals develop healthy eating patterns and restore nutritional balance.

Nutrition counseling may include:

- meal planning
- nutrition education
- weight restoration support
- food exposure work
- support for ARFID and restrictive eating
- family guidance around meals and nutrition

#### **Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP)**

IOP programs provide more support than traditional outpatient treatment while allowing individuals to continue living at home.

These programs typically include several therapy sessions per week and may combine:

- individual therapy
- group therapy
- family therapy
- nutrition support
- meal supervision

#### **Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP)**

PHP programs provide a higher level of care than IOP.

Individuals attend treatment for most of the day, several days per week, while returning home in the evenings.

These programs often include:

- daily therapeutic programming
- psychiatric care
- nutrition counseling
- meal support
- medical monitoring

#### **Residential Treatment**

Residential treatment provides 24-hour therapeutic support in a structured treatment environment.

This level of care may be recommended when symptoms are severe, safety concerns exist, or previous outpatient, IOP, PHP, or hospitalization efforts have not resulted in lasting improvement.

Residential treatment focuses on stabilization, recovery, skill development, nutritional rehabilitation, and long-term recovery planning.

### **How MindWeal Determines the Right Level of Care**

MindWeal provides comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and ongoing psychiatric care for children and adolescents with eating disorders and related concerns. We will continue to provide outpatient psychiatric care and medication management when appropriate.

Some children may benefit from additional services beyond outpatient psychiatric treatment, such as specialized eating disorder therapy, nutrition counseling, Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP), Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP), or residential treatment programs.

The appropriate level of care is determined based on a comprehensive clinical assessment and may include consideration of:

- medical stability
- severity of eating disorder symptoms
- frequency of eating disorder behaviors
- impact on daily functioning
- nutritional status
- weight loss or growth concerns
- safety concerns

Based on these factors, MindWeal may recommend additional treatment services or a higher level of care when needed.

### **How to Use This Resource Directory**

After determining the appropriate level of care, select your region at the top of this page.

Within your region, you will find referral lists organized by level of care, including:

- Outpatient Counseling
- Nutritionists and Registered Dietitians
- Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP)

- Residential Treatment Programs

Review the providers listed under the recommended level of care and select the option that best fits your child's needs, location, and insurance coverage.

**IMPORTANT:** Many eating disorder programs require a referral, psychiatric evaluation, medical records, growth charts, laboratory testing, or additional clinical documentation before scheduling. Once you select a provider or program, please inform MindWeal of your choice so we can send the necessary referral and clinical information.
