FAQs
-
Our IOP program is for adolescents and adults who need a higher level of care than outpatient can provide, or for individuals with eating disorders who are stepping down from residential or Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) levels of care.
Our PHP program is for adolescents and adults who require a structured, intensive level of care to stabilize eating disorder symptoms and behaviors while continuing to live at home. It is appropriate for individuals who need daily therapeutic, nutritional, medical, and psychiatric support but do not require 24-hour residential or inpatient care, as well as for those stepping down from higher levels of care.
-
We understand that eating disorders are caused by a variety of psychological, physiological, interpersonal, and social factors, and that each individual is unique in their own eating disorder history and symptoms. Nutritional and therapeutic goals are based on the individual needs of each client.
-
Length of treatment at Amrita depends upon a number of factors, including previous treatment, severity of eating disorder behaviors, need for weight restoration, insurance coverage, and rate of progress. On average, clients stay in PHP treatment for 6-8 weeks, and IOP treatment for 12-14 weeks.
-
Amrita’s team of clinicians are experienced with trauma and multiple diagnoses in addition to eating disorders and can address all of these in treatment. However, since Amrita’s primary focus is on eating disorder treatment in individual and group work, referrals may be made to specialists outside of Amrita if deemed necessary.
-
Currently Amrita has one track that combines clients with Anorexia, Bulimia, Binge Eating Disorder, ARFID, and OSFED. Although each eating disorder has different symptoms and societal challenges, we believe clients can learn together, understanding the common core issues underlying their different behaviors.
-
The cost of treatment depends upon insurance coverage and length of stay. Please contact Amrita if you are interested in a cost estimate for treatment. Amrita offers scholarships for clients in financial need.
