Adult Eating Disorders Program

Treatment Phases

The first step is an interview with an intake professional to determine if the Susan B. Krevoy Eating Disorders Program for Adults is the appropriate treatment facility for the prospective client. There is no charge for this initial meeting. The purpose of this interview is to acquaint the prospective client with the program, answer questions, do an initial assessment and to determine insurance coverage and fees. Once admitted to the program, the client can expect to progress through the following treatment phases:

• Admission and Orientation to the Program:
  Program Coordinator admits and introduces the client to the program.
• Clinical Assessment & Diagnosis:
  Client meets with their individual therapist or case manager for a comprehensive assessment and diagnosis which will be used as reference as the client progresses through the program. The professional and client work together to devise an individualized treatment plan.
• Participation:
  Client participates in individual, group and family therapy sessions as well as nutritional counseling, yoga & meditation, art therapy and special workshops as specified by their individual treatment plan. Full participation is a critical part of the recovery process; the client must attend the program according to their agreed-upon treatment schedule.
• 3-Month Evaluation:
  Client meets with their therapist or case manager to discuss progress. Together, they determine a reasonable treatment timeline and the date of the next evaluation. When a client is ready to leave the program, he/she participates in our two part step down program. The first part provides a 6 week modified treatment schedule followed by an on-going group that assists in the client's transition to everyday living.
• Continuation of Treatment:
  After the 3-month evaluation, many clients continue their treatment plan with regular evaluations to keep their recovery on track.
• Step-Down / Transition To Everyday Living:
  When a client is ready to leave the program, he/she participates in our two part step down program. The first part provides a 6 week modified treatment schedule followed by an on-going group that assists in the client's transition to everyday living.
