Virtual Tour: Partial Hospitalization Program

Eating Recovery Center’s Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) offers the intensity and structure of residential eating disorders treatment while providing opportunities to practice recovery outside of the controlled treatment environment during evenings at home or in peer-supported apartment communities.

Where most partial hospitalization programs for the treatment of eating disorders are comprised of 6-8 hours of programming offered 5-7 days per week, Eating Recovery Center’s PHP provides 11.5 hours of treatment 7 days per week. By offering a full day of programming every day of the week, patients are supported through all meals and snacks and have ample structure and containment to achieve symptom interruption and/or weight restoration. Combined with daytime medical support, the strategic intensity of Eating Recovery Center’s PHP can provide a non-residential treatment resource for individuals requiring a higher level of care.

Eating Recovery Center’s Partial Hospitalization Program emphasizes the development of lifelong recovery skills in a safe, structured and supportive environment. PHP’s well-rounded curriculum offers staff-supported opportunities to practice for interactions and challenges outside of treatment through interactive group sessions, including:

Patients are able to practice recovery skills during overnight stays at home, in Eating Recovery Center apartment residence communities, or in other recommended hotels and extended care facilities. These lodging options seek to provide a peer-supported living environment for out-of-town patients. 

PHP Medical and Clinical Leadership

Thomas King, MD

Medical Director of the Adult Partial Hospitalization Program

The treatment process at Eating Recovery Center helps people work through the illusion of control that an eating disorder promotes, and come out on the other side where they can actually reaffirm themselves and take back control of their lives in a meaningful way.”
 

Bonnie Brennan, MA, LPC

Clinical Director of Adult Partial Hospitalization Program

“The women and men struggling with eating disorders are incredibly sensitive and intelligent, and helping them find their voices, have hope and identify the direction they want to live this hard work and recovery is our objective at Eating Recovery Center.”
 

Carolyn Jones, RN, LPC, CEDS

Director of Nursing

“Dedication, caring and wisdom are evident in all aspects of the treatment program at Eating Recovery Center. Our highly-skilled, compassionate staff, combined with our commitment to implementing evidence-based techniques, can pull someone out of the depths of an eating disorder and start them on the road to recovery.”
 

Marla Scanzello, MS, RD

Director of Dietary Services

“The role of nutrition services is very important in the treatment of an eating disorder. Our dietitians work with patients who are often terrified of eating, to help them eat, to achieve a balanced pattern or nutrition and to achieve a healthy weight for optimal recovery.”
