Outpatient care occurs weekly, biweekly, or on an as-needed basis, depending on the unique needs of each person. This level of care is suitable for individuals who are medically stable and in need of multidisciplinary support to continue their progress toward eating disorder recovery.

Outpatient eating disorder care is our lowest level of care and provides a supportive environment to ensure an individual’s continued recovery. Appointments can be scheduled on an as-needed basis with any of our specialists. We’re here to supplement the work you, your current care team, and your family and community of support are already doing.

Veritas Collaborative’s partial hospitalization program (PHP) and intensive outpatient program (IOP) offer greater structure and support than non-intensive outpatient treatment but more independence than 24/7 care. With an individualized approach and focus on family and community-of-support involvement, PHP and IOP equip patients to build a life in recovery alongside the support of a multidisciplinary care team.

Child and adolescent patients can admit directly into PHP as a first step in treatment or transition down to PHP from residential care. PHP is delivered by a multidisciplinary team including medical providers, registered dietitians, and psychotherapists. Programming takes place either in our facilities or in a virtual treatment environment and includes:

• Skills-based group therapy
• Therapeutic meals
• Family therapy
• Individual therapy sessions
• Individual nutrition sessions
• Expressive arts and movement therapy
• Food skills groups
• Psychiatry and medical services, as appropriate

Child and adolescent patients can admit directly to IOP as a first step in treatment or transition to IOP from a higher level of care. With a focus on relapse prevention and sustained recovery, patients typically spend a minimum of 12 hours per week either in our facilities or in a virtual treatment environment. Multidisciplinary IOP treatment at Veritas Collaborative includes:

• Skills-based group therapy
• Therapeutic meals
• Family therapy
• Individual therapy sessions
• Individual nutrition sessions
• Expressive arts and movement therapy
• Food skills groups

Residential care is structured, around-the-clock treatment that comprises both individual and group therapies. What differentiates it from standard residential care is that nursing staff are available onsite, 24/7. This level of care is suitable for individuals who are medically stable but in need of 24-hour behavioral and medical supervision.

Residential care can serve as a starting point on an individual’s journey of recovery or their next step after inpatient care.

• Individually specialized support from a multidisciplinary team consisting of a medical provider, a psychiatrist, a registered dietitian, and a psychotherapist
• Daily individual, group, and community-of-support programming, informed by dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)
• Eating disorder-specific pediatric medicine support

Inpatient care is structured, highly monitored, around-the-clock treatment that integrates medical care and both individual and group therapies. Inpatient care is suitable for children and adolescents who require daily medical interaction, are medically unstable, and/or are severely depressed or a danger to themselves as a result of their entrenchment in eating disorder behaviors. Veritas is one of the nation’s only eating disorder programs able to treat individuals who require this level of care.

Inpatient care is our highest level of care and is often the first step in an individual’s recovery journey when medical stabilization is necessary.

• Individually specialized support from a multidisciplinary team consisting of a medical provider, a psychiatrist, a registered dietitian, and a psychotherapist
• Daily individual, group, and community-of-support programming, informed by dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)
• Eating disorder-specific pediatric medicine support

Most eating disorder treatment programs for young people were originally designed for adults. Not Veritas. We built our program from day one to meet the unique needs of children, adolescents, and their families. With a focus on individualized care, family involvement, and integrated educational support, our goal is to equip each person and their family with the take-home skills they need to continue eating disorder recovery and to thrive in the home environment.

We recognize that every young person is truly one of a kind, and they respond best when their eating disorder treatment is one of a kind, too. That’s why we develop an individualized care plan based on each patient’s unique medical, nutritional, and emotional needs. It’s also why we assign children and adolescents a multidisciplinary care team—including a medical provider, registered dietitian, and psychotherapist—that stays with them as they progress through treatment. This helps build a trusting and comforting relationship between the care team, the young person, and the family, and it means that our team can more readily see what’s working best and adjust the care plan as needed. The goal, as with everything we do, is to provide effective, personalized eating disorder care that leads to lasting recovery.

We believe families are a powerful tool in the eating disorder recovery process. Therefore, a large component of our treatment process has been designed to facilitate family involvement through family therapy and multi-family group programming. Our goal is to help each individual and family tackle the eating disorder and thrive together in the home environment.

Our nutrition program is designed to help individuals and families recognize and manage many common triggers for eating disorder behaviors. Unique features include individualized nutrition care with parent education and support, hands-on culinary experiences taught by skilled chefs, supervised restaurant outings, and private dining rooms where patients and families learn to navigate mealtime challenges by planning, preparing, and eating meals together in a realistic homelike setting.

As a comprehensive healthcare system, Veritas is one of the few eating disorder programs in the nation that offers a full continuum of care, from inpatient to outpatient. We know that access to the right treatment at the right time is the key to lasting recovery for children and adolescents.

Veritas provides individualized best-practice care tailored to the unique needs of children and adolescents, ages up to 17, in a gender-diverse and inclusive environment. Key program elements include:

• Comprehensive, multidisciplinary treatment teams that remain with your child throughout their recovery journey
