It is common for a multidisciplinary treatment team to work collaboratively to help treat the eating disorder so that a higher level of care can be prevented. Outpatient Programs: Treatment with outpatient providers for individual, family, group therapy, nutrition therapy, and psychiatry. Krevoy Institute for Eating Disorders, Beverly Hills, CA.ACM Woodleaf Eating Disorder Center, San Francisco, CA.

These programs are at minimum 3 hours per day 1-5 days a week. Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP): For individuals who need more structure than a typical outpatient program and who could benefit from a more intensive outpatient plan. Montecatini Eating Disorders Center, Carlsbad, CA.The Lotus Collaborative, Santa Cruz, CA.They include meals in treatment, but the individual also gets to be at home with their loved ones at night. These programs are between 6-8 hours per day and start out at five days per week. Partial Hospitalization (PHP) or Day Treatment: For individuals who do not reduce behaviors at a lower level of care or need the day time structure of a program to normalize eating. Center for Discovery (adolescents), Menlo Park, CA.Alsana: An Eating Recovery Community, Pacific Grove, CA.These programs tend to be in a home like setting that mimic the "real-world.” The individual may also lack the appropriate social support and needs help with normalizing eating behaviors. The individual cannot reduce behavior at a lower level and requires more structure. These programs manage medical symptoms of the eating disorder. Eating Disorder behaviors are severe and require supervision. Residential Treatment: For individuals who need the structure of a 24-hour program, but that are not severely medically compromised. Hospitalization: For individuals who need 24-hour medical attention due to malnourishment, electrolyte imbalances, cardiac conditions, severe dehydration.
