To keep our clients safe during COVID-19, we are conducting a hybrid of in-person and online eating disorder treatment:
- Intensive outpatient (IOP) groups are meeting through BlueJeans, a secure, HIPAA-compliant video conferencing platform.
- Our partial hospitalization program (PHP) is being conducted in-person. Learn more about the safety measures we’re taking.
- Level of Care Assessments (LOCA) are being offered both online and in-person. Each client can choose the method that feels most comfortable for them.
We are following all CDC guidelines for disinfection and social distancing to keep our clients safe while providing eating disorder treatment.
Seeds of Hope offers two outpatient eating disorder treatment programs for adults: a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) and an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). PHP is a structured full-day program for those who require more support, while IOP is a half-day program that allows for more flexibility in your schedule. During your initial appointment, we will determine which level of care is right for you.

IOP for Eating Disorders
Seeds of Hope also offers an Intensive Outpatient Program for those who are struggling with an eating disorder but need less support than full-day treatment. The goal of IOP is to help you develop coping skills and form healthy eating habits so you can function outside of the treatment environment.
Program Length
IOP runs Monday-Thursday for 2 hours and 15 minutes per day. Total treatment length depends on each individual’s needs and unique circumstances.
IOP Treatment Methods
Throughout the week, clients can expect a combination of the following:
- Group therapy and process groups
- Psychoeducation
- Nutrition education and support
- Meal practice
- Medication management
- Yoga
- Art Therapy
- Meditation
One day a week, a nutritionist runs the group. At other times, clinicians lead group therapy and guide clients in proven techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy.
Continuing Support
We offer an outpatient group once per week for clients who complete the Intensive Outpatient Program. This provides ongoing support to help maintain recovery. We can also refer clients to an outpatient provider in their area.
