Multidisciplinary Treatment of Eating Disorders - Part 1: Structure and Costs of Treatment
Stewart, Tiffany M.; Williamson, Donald A.
Behavior Modification, v28 n6 p812-830 Nov 2004
This article describes the structure and costs of a multidisciplinary hospital-based program for severe eating disorders. The program utilizes multiple levels of care (inpatient, partial day hospital, intensive outpatient, and traditional out patient) to provide continuity of care during the recovery process, which often spans 2 to 3 months of intensive treatment. Details about the expectations of staff, patients, and family members are provided. Also, special protocols for refeeding, weight gain, and motivation for eating are described. The costs of treatment can be managed by greater utilization of the partial day hospital level of care, as opposed to lengthy inpatient hospitalization.
