Eating Disorders Day Program for Independent Living
A partial hospitalization program (PHP) offers structured daytime treatment for eating disorders. In the evening, participants in the program return home or to other independent living accommodations.
Depending on location and individual needs, Center for Change offers five-day and seven-day PHP schedules in Idaho and Utah. The goal of a PHP is to support continued recovery and address food-related fears and body image concerns.
