About Eating Disorders
Selecting an eating disorder treatment program for yourself or someone you care about may be
one of the most important decisions you will ever have
to make. Most people don't know what to look for in
a quality program and not all eating disorder treatment
centers are the same — they differ greatly in program
options, staff qualifications, credentials, cost, and
effectiveness.
So...having said all of the above, you now know that you'll need to
ask appropriate questions when you call an eating disorder treatment program for information, and that
you should expect to receive clear answers. Here are a few of the things to find out:
- Cost and Insurance plans accepted
- Length of Program
- Basis of Program (spiritual, religious, cognitive-behavioral, etc.)
- Qualifications/Certifications of staff
- Schedule of daily activities
The more complete the answers to these questions are, the better able you will be to ascertain if the eating disorder treatment center is going to meet your specific needs. |
