The client then chooses, in consultation with her or his clinical coordinator, the team of therapists (and types of therapy) which seem most helpful. These choices can be changed at any time, and frequently are, as the client pursues her or his own unique path to recovery. Supporting ME staff also includes traditional medical professionals (physicians, dieticians) and alternative healers (providing acupuncture, bodywork, chakra therapy, shiatsu therapy, energy development and healing, etc. Their work is used to balance the work of psychotherapy. When clients come to Supporting ME, they don't need to know in advance which approaches to recovery they need to use. Together we determine the approach you need while you are here. The Supporting ME approach is entirely customized, more so than any other program. We work with your goals and values, to create a treatment plan and an aftercare plan that are precisely tailored to you. We focus in particular on identifying and resolving the problems that give rise to eating and body image problems (“co-morbidity”). Groups are available but not required.

Walden Behavioral Care: www.waldenbehavioralcare.com. Walden Behavioral Care has responded to the evolving knowledge of eating disorders by becoming one of the first hospitals in the country to offer the full "continuum of care" for treating eating disorders. They offer: Inpatient care, Residential care, Partial hospitalization, and Intensive outpatient care. For those with advanced eating disorders, 24-hour monitoring and nursing care are essential. Treatment at this level stabilizes the patient in preparation for intensive behavioral, medical, nutritional and psychological therapy. Walden is one of only a few hospitals in the country to offer acute inpatient care in a specialized, dedicated program. Inpatient care typically lasts for a few weeks. As patients progress, they advance to their residential program at Walden Place or their partial hospitalization program. For those who still need a structured, full-time program, Walden Place provides treatment in a comfortable, home-like setting. Partial hospitalization is the recommended treatment for those who are not quite ready to make the transition from fulltime hospital care to independent living. It includes a daily, structured program, but patients return home each evening. Finally, outpatient care is designed to help patients complete their readjustment and maintain healthy eating patterns. Patients move in both directions within Walden's care system. When more intensive care is needed, it is available for them. As they gain control over their disorder, they move toward independent living. Because they provide a full range of treatment options, they can treat patients who are at any stage in their eating disorder. As a result, patients receive uninterrupted medical care as they advance toward lasting recovery. Their Eating Disorders Service provides discrete, highly specialized treatment for patients 13 and older with anorexia, bulimia, binge-eating disorder and other eating disorders.

It is the belief of The Center that eating disorder patients are unique, creative, caring and sensitive individuals who have lost a connection with their true inner spirit. To this end, the Center offers treatment emphasizing a therapeutic alliance and opportunities for self-exploration; esteem will naturally begin to develop as the self has begun to emerge. Upon admission, each individual is given a comprehensive evaluation that allows the patient and staff to develop an individualized treatment regime that meets their psychological and physical needs. The internist will provide a complete physical exam for all patients upon admission, and will provide ongoing medical care throughout the patient’s stay. Recognizing the importance of reintegration and reunification with family, the Center offers individual as well as multi-family therapy. Family weekend visits and conference call therapy for long-distance families are encouraged to improve family dynamics and help them gain a sense of understanding of the illness. Throughout their stay, the individual needs of each patient are continually reassessed. The Center emphasizes the need to separate the patient from the disease, and to anticipate the influence of the eating disorder on the patient's feelings, thoughts, and behavior; working together with the patient to combat the illness through their vast array of treatment options.

Our programs run three to four days per week, late afternoon through early evening hours allowing patients to continue with school and/or work during the day.

Our treatment is collaborative involving the combined efforts of the individual, family and staff working together in a context of mutual respect. And while we believe that treatment is serious business, serious does not mean grim. Warmth, humor, and a sense of caring are as important to the treatment process as any specific psychotherapy.

Monmouth Psychological Associates: www.monmouthpsych.com. The treatment model at Monmouth Psychological Associates is multidisciplinary and multimodal. Their therapeutic orientation is primarily cognitive behavioral. Patients are evaluated by the clinical director, Dr. Donald Erwin, who has over 25 years experience in the field of eating disorders treatment and research. After an evaluation, a treatment plan is discussed with each patient and their family. Treatment plans usually consist of individual psychotherapy, nutritional counseling, group therapy and involvement in appropriate community resources. As patients begin nutritional counseling, initial measurements of metabolic rate and body composition are conducted, as well as coordination with the patient's physician. When needed, referrals to psychiatrists who work closely with the program are made. Also, when needed, liaison with inpatient facilities is initiated when a higher level of care is appropriate. Dr. Erwin is on the medical staff of a local teaching hospital with an inpatient eating disorders program. Call 732-530-9029, visit the website or email drerwin@monmouthpsych.com.

Tapestry Residential Eating Disorder Program: www.tapestrync.com. At Tapestry, your initial assessment will include an eating history which will explore not only present eating disorder symptoms but patterns of symptoms that have emerged at different times. They operate from an understanding of the importance not just of a diagnosis, but of the fluidity of eating disorder symptoms and the need to address all of these symptoms as part of treatment. For instance, they know that many women who have initially restricted, later develop symptoms more common to bulimia. Other women develop anorexia in response to efforts to lose weight gained from initial binging patterns. Still others alternate between long restricting periods and periods of bulimia. Without such a historical view, significant clinical information can be lost which directly impacts the outcome of care. They subscribe to a Bio/Psycho/Social/Spiritual understanding of illness and recovery- a framework that takes into consideration both heredity, psychological strengths and vulnerabilities, and life events as intermingled forces that move a person toward resilience or ill health. Their approach is to focus on the whole person and to assist you not only in mastering the destructive patterns of your eating disorder, but to attend to the deeper issues that contributed to the development of the illness.
