Outpatient
During outpatient recovery, those struggling with an eating disorder can get help while also staying at home. This recovery path often involves weekly or biweekly appoints with therapists and other specialists, such as dietitians, medical doctors and psychologists.
Intensive Outpatient
Like outpatient recovery, an intensive outpatient program (IOP) still allows the patient to live at home. In addition, they go to a recovery facility a few times a week for a few hours. Sometimes, IOP is where patients go when they come out of a higher level of care.
Partial Hospitalization
A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is when patients go to treatment Monday through Friday during the day. With PHP, patients still live at home, but they typically do not go to school or work in person as treatment takes up a large portion of their day.
Residential
When a patient is in residential treatment, they live in a recovery setting for an extended period of time away from home. With this option, patients recieve all of their meals and snacks in this setting and live with other people struggling with eating disorder.
Hospitalization
Patients who are hospitalized for an eating disorder recieve intensive treatment and supervision at all times. Also, the patient would not live at home, but rather, they would live in the hospital before being moved to a residential facility once they are stabilized.
