Medical Care
Patients are treated on the acute medical floor for stabilization at Mercy Hospital until they are able to participate in the Eating Disorder Partial Hospitalization Program.
Partial Hospitalization Program
This intensive, non-residential program is offered Monday through Friday for people who are medically stable. Participants attend a 12-hour day program including all meals and snacks. The Partial Hospitalization Program gives patients the opportunity to practice the recovery skills they have learned in a supportive environment.
Intensive Outpatient Program
Our Intensive Outpatient Program is designed as a step down for clients who have been in the partial hospitalization program. This appropriateness of this level of care is accessed via the partial hospitalization program or outpatient program when additional group support is needed. The focus of treatment in IOP is transitioning from partial hospitalization issues to early recovery relapse prevention.
Outpatient Counseling
Individual outpatient counseling is available to clients who, upon assessment, have an eating disorder as the primary diagnosis and might benefit from this level of care.
