Online Eating Disorders Program, Day or Night
A virtual intensive outpatient program provides structured eating disorder treatment through secure online sessions. You can participate in treatment from any private location in Idaho or Utah.
VIOP includes therapy, meal support and opportunities to work on recovery skills in the real world. Day and evening options can make treatment more accessible for students, working adults, parents and others who need flexibility.
Remote Program for Eating Disorder Treatment
Center for Change offers IOPs for adults and teens age 13+ who have a primary diagnosis of:
- Anorexia
- Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID)
- Binge eating disorder
- Bulimia
- Other specified food or eating disorder (OSFED)
Who May Benefit From Virtual IOPs
Participants must be in Idaho or Utah while receiving virtual treatment. Virtual IOPs may be appropriate for people who are:
- Stepping down from a partial hospitalization program (PHP) and need continued care but can’t attend an in-person IOP
- Stepping up from outpatient therapy for more intensive treatment, while also balancing work, home and school responsibilities
Virtual IOP is designed for people who can receive care outside of an inpatient or residential setting. If you need closer medical monitoring or a higher level of psychological support, our admission staff can help you understand your options. Contact us to discuss acute inpatient treatment, inpatient short-term stabilization or residential treatment.
