Eating Disorders Treatment Options
 Our patients come to us requiring
different levels of supported and supervised treatment to
aid with their individual path to recovery. We offer
programs that address each type of need from intensive,
24-hour care to Partial Hospitalization to intensive outpatient programs.
Residential care is offered for
females who need 24-hour support. This level of care
may also serve as an alternative to hospitalization for
some patients who are medically compromised as a result of
dangerously low body weight or frequent purging. Patients
receive staff supervision with medical monitoring 24 hours
a day, seven days a week at the residential center. All meals and snacks are
monitored. Extra support is available for those who are
beginning refeeding, who purge frequently and who exercise
compulsively. As patients become more confident and
comfortable with eating, they are able to progress through
our phase system and practice increasing levels of
independence.
Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP)
Partial
Hospitalization is offered Monday
through Sunday at the
treatment suite.
Depending on the patient's medical stability and
treatment needs, he or she will be place in either the
Extended PHP (10 hours a day, 9:30am-7:30pm) or the
Traditional PHP (9:30am-3:30pm) level of programming.
These levels of
care are offered to patients who are medically stable and
demonstrate the confidence and motivation to eat with
outside support, continue to meet weight and activity
goals, accurately report struggles, and structure time and
meals for the entire weekend.
Intensive
Outpatient Program (IOP)
In our IOP program, patients practice what they have learned in treatment at home and return to talk about what
challenges they are facing. This program is offered Monday through Friday and includes two psychotherapy groups,
weight and behavioral monitoring, and one meal group each day. When ready, patients have the opportunity for
supported meals with the staff at local restaurants and food preparation. Families are invited to attend a weekly
support group as well as a monthly family day.
The transition house is available for
adults who have successfully completed other levels of
programming at McCallum Place. Patients transition through
two levels of support towards increasing independence.
Staff members meet with our residents seven days a week,
providing nutritional therapy, group therapy and meal
support. The transition house offers patients the
opportunity to practice being in charge of their own meals
while receiving daily support from the recovery coach and
regular meetings with the dietitian. The most flexible
level of this program is structured around a minimum of
ten hours a week at school or work. A House Associate will
be living at the Transition House and will return to the
house by 11:00 p.m. six nights a week. She will be present
to monitor adherence to Transition House rules and assist
clients with accessing their outpatient treatment team in
times of crisis. The transitional living house is also
available to patients in the Partial Hospitalization
Program (PHP).
