Why is Veritas expanding its outpatient offerings?
At Veritas Collaborative, we believe in offering the right level of care at the right time for each individual.
Outpatient levels of care, including PHP, IOP, and OP, allow us to provide treatment for patients who are struggling with an eating disorder but are medically stable enough that 24/7 residential or inpatient care is not needed.
Specialty outpatient treatment for eating disorders offers effective early intervention. It is imperative that eating disorders are treated as soon as they’re identified. There’s no such thing as not being “sick enough” to receive treatment. Studies show that early intervention for eating disorders leads to improved treatment outcomes, reducing the length of recovery, symptom intensity, and rate of recurrence. Early intervention for children and adolescents is especially crucial to ensure the patient’s physical, psychological, and social development continues unimpeded.
Alternatively, outpatient care is recommended for patients who are stepping down from residential and inpatient levels of care so they can transition from 24/7 treatment back to their everyday lives with a support system in place.
What is the difference between partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), and outpatient services at Veritas Collaborative?
At Veritas Collaborative, PHP and IOP are designed for patients in need of professional support that is less intensive than what is provided in an inpatient or residential setting, but more intensive than what is provided in a traditional outpatient setting.
Our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is a good fit for those who need a highly structured, supportive plan while recovering in a “real life” setting. Outside of programming hours, patients can immediately practice recovery skills in their daily lives. Patients typically spend a minimum of 30 hours per week in PHP.
Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), like PHP, is for those who need more structure than non-intensive outpatient treatment, but less structure than full-day support. IOP programming runs for only a portion of the day. Patients typically spend a minimum of 12 hours per week in IOP.
Outpatient services are non-intensive sessions that typically occur weekly, biweekly, or on an as-needed basis. This level of care is meant for those who are not in a crisis phase with their eating disorder or those in recovery who need some ongoing support.
What if my patient lives far from a treatment center?
Veritas Collaborative has affordable lodging accommodations near our Triangle Outpatient Center for adults (18+) who live far away from our treatment location. If parents want to stay near their child during treatment, our staff will assist with locating nearby hotel accommodations. Your patient may also want to consider a virtual treatment option.
Does Veritas offer virtual programming at the outpatient level?
Yes, we offer both virtual and in-person treatment options for PHP, IOP, and outpatient sessions. Both virtual and in-person intensive outpatient programs include individual, group, and family therapy, therapeutic meal support, nutrition counseling, psychiatry sessions, and medical appointments, as appropriate.

Conditions Treated
Veritas Collaborative provides expert eating disorder treatment for all eating disorder diagnoses and related conditions, including:
Anorexia nervosa, characterized by a fear of weight gain and distorted body image that leads to food restriction and results in a significantly low body weight
Bulimia nervosa, defined by recurrent binge eating episodes that are followed by compensatory behaviors to prevent weight gain (e.g., self-induced vomiting, fasting, compulsive exercise, and/or the use of laxatives or diuretics)
Binge eating disorder (BED), characterized by recurrent binge eating episodes that lead to marked distress, a sense of loss of control, and feelings of disgust, self-loathing, or guilt
Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID), characterized by a consistent failure to meet appropriate nutritional needs due to eating or feeding disturbances such as an apparent lack of interest in food, avoidance due to the sensory qualities of food, and/or concern over adverse consequences of eating food
Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorder (OSFED), marked by eating disorder symptoms that cause significant distress and impairment of social and/or occupational functioning, but do not meet the criteria for any other eating disorder diagnosis.
Treatment Types
All levels of care are offered at our Atlanta, Georgia eating disorder treatment center, ensuring that we can support you through each step of recovery.
Inpatient treatment
Inpatient treatment is the right fit for patients who require around-the-clock treatment and medical stabilization. Veritas is one of the only eating disorder programs in the nation that can treat individuals who require this level of care.
Residential treatment
Residential treatment is similar to inpatient in that they both include structured, around-the-clock care, but residential care is the right fit for people who do not require medical stabilization. Nursing staff are available onsite 24/7.
Partial hospitalization (PHP)/Intensive outpatient program (IOP)
Our partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient programs (IOP) provide greater structure and support than our outpatient services, but more independence than 24/7 care. Patients typically spend a minimum of 30 hours per week in PHP and a minimum of 12 hours per week in IOP, either in person or virtually.
Outpatient treatment
Outpatient treatment takes place weekly, biweekly, or on an as-needed basis, depending on the needs of each person. This level of care is the right fit for someone who is medically stable and is looking for continued support on their recovery journey. Veritas offers in-person and virtual individual, family, and group treatment.
Virtual treatment
Veritas’ virtual eating disorder treatment uses technology to bring care to patients virtually. It allows patients to connect to their treatment team and receive individualized, expert care via video. Our virtual services are offered for our PHP, IOP, and outpatient services.
Insurance Information
At Veritas, we’re committed to making the journey toward recovery from eating disorders as accessible as possible.

“We didn’t know our child was as sick as she was. Our pediatrician referred us, and we finally got our child admitted about a month later. It’s worth the wait, worth the money, and well worth the time you’ll spend without your child. ED can be very lethal if left untreated!”

“Our daughter was in Veritas’ program for seven months. She was in very poor health from her eating disorder when she arrived, and when she graduated from the program she was much healthier and more confident. She learned DBT skills and has come a long way in overcoming her eating disorder. The staff were kind and professional.”

“My wife and I have been at war with our daughter’s ED for years. She was admitted to Veritas Charlotte’s PHP program. Fast forward six weeks, and our daughter is a different person. She no longer stares vacantly at her plate, refusing to eat. She’s properly nourished and eats without prompting. The shine has returned to her eyes. It hasn’t been an easy road and we’ve had our setbacks. Thank you Veritas for helping us get our girl back! ”

Eating Disorders Treated by Veritas Collaborative
Our eating disorder treatment centers offer a comprehensive range of personalized eating disorder treatment options designed to address various eating disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions. With options for virtual and on-site eating disorder recovery programs, we strive to provide care that fits into your life.
For those struggling with anorexia nervosa, a condition marked by an extreme fear of weight gain and a distorted body image, Veritas Collaborative provides in-depth treatment plans to guide you on the path to recovery.
We also offer specialized treatment for bulimia nervosa, a disorder characterized by cycles of binge eating followed by compensatory behaviors like self-induced vomiting, commonly known as purging, or excessive exercise to offset weight gain.
Veritas Collaborative also offers support to individuals dealing with binge eating disorder, which involves episodes of excessive food consumption often triggered by negative emotional stimuli and a lack of control over eating.
You can also get help for OSFED (Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorder) at our eating disorder treatment centers. People who experience eating disorder symptoms that impair their life but do not fit the diagnostic criteria of other eating disorders may be struggling with OSFED.
ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder) is a condition for which you can receive care at Veritas Collaborative eating disorder treatment centers. ARFID is commonly experienced as a continual failure to meet appropriate nutritional and/or energy needs. This is often because of an apparent lack of interest in food, avoidance due to the sensory qualities of food, and/or concern over adverse consequences of eating food.
Eating disorders sometimes occur alongside a range of other psychiatric and developmental disorders. Such co-occurring disorders are another aspect of eating disorder treatment that we attend to at Veritas Collaborative. Intensive residential eating disorder support may be advisable for certain cases of co-occurring disorders.
If you have specific questions or concerns about your condition, we encourage you to contact us for more information. Learn about our eating disorder live-In treatment facilities.
