Types of Bulimia Treatment Programs

Bulimia treatment programs exist in about every state in the country, but differ in degrees of services, philosophy, staff credibility and overall success rates.

Two of the most common types of bulimia treatment programs are inpatient and outpatient.

Inpatient - Patients attending inpatient bulimia treatment programs live at the center for a specific time period. Staffed with doctors, therapists, registered nurses and nutritionists, inpatient bulimia treatment programs provide a safe and supportive environment around-the-clock. Components of this type of treatment may include: group therapy, individual therapy, medical evaluations, nutritional counseling, family therapy and social activities as well as alternative therapies such as art therapy, yoga, movement therapy etc.

Outpatient - Patients attending outpatient bulimia treatment live off campus, and not at the facility. Many outpatient facilities offer similar services as inpatient programs, without the 24 hour supervision and support. Sessions may be scheduled daily or weekly and in between services patients return home. Often patients can continue going to work or school.

Some facilities offer both inpatient and outpatient bulimia treatment programs.

Inpatient or Outpatient Bulimia Treatment Programs - How Do I Choose?

Which type of bulimia treatment program to attend is entirely based on your individual needs.

Inpatient bulimia treatment programs offer 24 hour medical and psychiatric care. Every meal is supervised and the setting is very structured. This may be a good option for individuals who have been struggling with bulimia for a long time or whose health is declining and really need the monitoring and support that these types of programs provide.

Outpatient programs do not provide 24 hour care, making them a viable choice for those whose eating disorders are less severe. Patients are expected to apply what they have learned in treatment into the "outside world" which can be difficult, especially during the early stages of treatment. Outpatient treatment is more flexible. Sessions are scheduled several times a week at various times and may be a good option for individuals who have children or other obligations. Outpatient bulimia treatment programs are also less expensive because housing is not required and the amount of care is less.

How Much Do Bulimia Treatment Programs Cost?

Cost can be one of the greatest challenges in accessing quality treatment for an eating disorder. Many bulimia treatment programs do not accept insurance, placing a tremendous burden on the individual or family members; some inpatient programs can cost upwards of $35,000 for a month. For most people this is not affordable, so what do they do?
