Our Eating Disorder Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is considered a step up (more therapeutic support) from outpatient therapy, and a step down (less therapeutic support) from a partial hospitalization program.

When stepping up from outpatient therapy, an IOP is appropriate for clients who are able to function independently, but have low to moderate symptoms/behaviors that are disruptive, distressing, and worsening or stagnating in an outpatient setting.

An IOP offers clients a more treatment-intensive experience that can assist them in creating new routines and skill-sets for their recovery. 

When stepping down from PHP, IOP is considered a level of care that is transitioning a person back to their “regular life.” It assists clients in bridging their recovery from higher levels of care into their “at home” lives. 

Our IOP runs 3+ hours a day, 3 to 6 days a week, and includes a schedule of:

  • Group therapy

    • Programming includes daily groups such a Process Group, Anti-Diet Group, and Outing / Exposure Group.

  • Individual therapy (1x/week)

  • One-on-one nutrition sessions weekly or every other week

  • Supervised meals/snacks

Tailored to Your Needs

  • Teens (under 18) receive weekly family therapy

  • Adult clients can opt to use their therapy session of the week for a session with a parent, partner or supporter.

  • A personalized treatment and meal plan is created and adjusted as needed

This level of care is ideal for those who need more support than weekly therapy but want the flexibility to maintain their daily routines.
