Intensive Outpatient Programme and Meet to Eat
Our Intensive Outpatient Programme offers structured mealtime support and additional therapy for clients who have been discharged from an inpatient eating disorders setting and require a facilitated transition back to living and eating regularly at home. This Programme is also of benefit to clients for whom weekly community based psychotherapy cannot sufficiently help them regularise or increase their energy intake or stop excessive purging.
The Intensive Outpatient Programme offers:
-
Meet to Eat: a supported mealtime and after-meal activity, a minimum of one meal per day, Monday to Friday, with a trained counsellor
- CBT-E: two sessions per week with a psychotherapist
- Dietary therapy: two sessions per week with a registered dietician
The Programme is suitable if:
- You have anorexia and your BMI is between 17.5 and 13 and you need more help to complete regular meals and/or you need structured help to stop purging after meals
- You have bulimia and you need help with regularising your meals and/or you need structured help to stop purging after meals
Access to the Intensive Outpatient Programme at NWCED is via internal referral, GP referral, or referral from an inpatient eating disorders unit. We accept NHS-funded referrals only. Please contact us for further information about making a referral or for information about our fees.
