Eating Disorder Clinic
Jordan Valley offers Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) for adolescents (12-18 years old) and adults with eating disorders. Our team helps patients break patterns related to their eating disorder. Patients spend an average of 12 hours per week for six to eight weeks in the program.
Adolescent Eating Disorder Program
Family-Based Treatment
Family-Based Treatment (FBT) puts family members at the center of the treatment team and allows the teen to stay at home. FBT empowers parents to play an active role in their child’s recovery. Parents must attend all sessions and siblings are strongly encouraged to attend as well.
FBT focuses on brain function and weight restoration. Our goal is to help your teen stop binge eating, purging or other restrictive eating patterns. You and your teen will spend 12 hours a week following a treatment plan.
Nutrition & Meal Planning
FBT treatment prioritizes nutrition and helping teens reach a healthy weight if needed. Families and teens will meet regularly with a dietitian to develop a meal plan and track progress. Our dietitians help you focus on providing regular balanced meals in adequate amounts.
Therapy & Support Groups
As part of treatment, you and your teen will attend therapy and support group sessions. You will develop strategies for recovery and receive support from others in the program. FBT sessions are for you and your teen. Other sessions and peer support groups are specifically for parents or teens.
