Eating Disorder Intensive Outpatient Program (EDIOP) for Teens

Our Eating Disorders Intensive Outpatient Program for teens is one of the most unique IOPs available and is known for its diversity and inclusiveness, as well as for its thoroughness and its ability to help not only the individual young person, but also the entire family system.

Teens struggling with Anorexia, Bulimia, Binge Eating, or any other form of eating disorder can learn healthy ways to process seemingly overpowering emotions, and also how to integrate these skills into their everyday lives with family and friends.

Our teen IOP is not solely for young people struggling with food, weight and body issues, though; the program has shown to be extremely beneficial for young people struggling with anxiety and/or depression.

Our teen IOP welcomes all genders and is for people from 12 – 18 years of age.

Family Involvement

We are proud of our family component that coincides with our teen IOP. We have found that younger patients experience higher levels of long-term success when family members are learning and growing along with them. Therefore, our family component is a required part of our teen IOP.

What to Expect

Healthy Futures’ Eating Disorders IOP includes nutrition education, meal planning, group therapy, family education and support, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Skills Training.

A psychosocial assessment and written medical permission from your physician is required to participate in our Eating Disorder IOPs and Emotional Eating IOP. We also require individual therapy and work with a nutrition expert.

All of our staff are Masters Level Professionals or higher, and all have had experience helping others in eating disorder and mental health programs. We have a dietitian, psychologist, social worker, counselor, and exercise specialist to help. We also have supervised, graduate-level student counselors who help with some of our programming.
