| Description: | Eating Disorder Center of Denver is committed to empowering individuals suffering with anorexia, bulimia, and related disorders to make healthy long lasting change and experience the success of recovery. |
| Length of Stay: | Length of treatment is determined individually with each patient according to their diagnosis and needs. Anorexic patients on weight restoration plans have longer lengths of stay with the goal of restoring 1.5 to 2 pounds per week to reach at least 90% of ideal body weight. Some patients with less severe symptoms may require a shorter period of time in treatment to interrupt eating disorder behavior. As patients meet individualized goals, they transition to less intensive treatment attending fewer days per week or fewer hours per day. The average length of stay (combining all diagnosis) is 4-8 weeks. Patients participate in their own weekly staffings with the clinical team to determine length of stay. Although discharge is anticipated and planned for at the beginning of treatment, patients find it easier to focus on treatment a week at a time and look at achieving their weekly goals as a way to determine the right time for discharge. |
