Your Eating Disorder Treatment Options in Kansas City
ADULT SERVICES (18 years and older)
Partial Hospitalization Program – Our Kansas City partial hospitalization program for eating disorder recovery is our most intensive level of care. In the PHP program, you’ll find a highly structured environment with consistent support from our handpicked multidisciplinary treatment team. During the day, patients will participate in their individualized treatment plans at our Kansas City location. During this programming, they will also learn and develop the tools necessary to be successful when they return home or to our available housing in the evenings. Our evidence-based and innovative treatment methods help individuals develop and internalize the recovery skills needed to achieve lasting eating disorder recovery.
Intensive Outpatient Program – We have multiple options for eating disorder treatment in Kansas City. Our Intensive Outpatient program is a transitional program that supports individuals stepping down from our Partial Hospitalization Program. Here individuals continue to utilize their structured, individualized treatment plan to practice recovery skills outside of the PHP program, empowering patients to apply the skills they have learned and honed for practical and real-world success.
Virtual Intensive Outpatient Program – This program provides adaptable support that effortlessly fits into your busy lifestyle, granting you access to evidence-based treatments delivered by our committed team of experts—all from the convenience of your home.
Evening Intensive Outpatient Program – Eating disorder recovery doesn’t stick to a 9 to 5 schedule. At our KC EDCare location, we also offer an intensive evening program designed to fit recovery into your busy schedule. Individuals can continue to participate in daily activities, such as work or school, while also developing the skills necessary to maintain long-term recovery success in the evening.
ADOLESCENT SERVICES (13-17 years old)
Partial Hospitalization Program – Adolescents in Kansas City need eating disorder treatment, too. EDCare Kansas City offers partial hospitalization programming for patients aged 13-17 located in a separate suite from our adult program. PHP is our highest level of adolescent eating disorder care in KC. Partial hospitalization offers an intensive, but flexible treatment environment where patients experience consistent support from a handpicked multidisciplinary treatment team. We utilize a modality called Emotion-Focused Family Therapy (EFFT) which prioritizes family involvement throughout treatment, ensuring teens have the support system they need to achieve long-term recovery. Additionally, families have access to Education Coordination which helps families and schools arrange the educational needs of the adolescent throughout the treatment process. Free family housing is also available.
Intensive Outpatient Program – In addition to our partial hospitalization option, EDCare Kansas City also offers a transitional intensive outpatient program, which acts as a step down for patients who no longer require the robust infrastructure of a PHP program. Adolescents can utilize this transitional level of care as they continue to practice and apply the recovery skills they have learned in our Partial Hospitalization Program to their daily life and activities.
