INPATIENT EATING DISORDER
Inpatient eating disorder clinics are necessary
for anorexics when their bad eating habits have
led to physical problems that may be
life-threatening or have reached a point of
severe psychological or behavioural issues.
Inpatient stays usually entail a phase of
outpatient follow up and aftercare to focus on
the main problem and may include hospitalisation
or residential admittance in eating disorder
treatment facilities.

THE PROCESS
The treatment is made up of a highly structured
programme designed to curtail the patients bad
eating behaviours, begin normalising body weight,
as well as identify and explore psychosocial
issues behind the eating problem. Patients
admitted to an inpatient eating disorder
programme are medically evaluated prior to
admission. The treatment components usually
include an eating programme, individual and group
therapy, family therapy, and medications as
needed. An individualised therapy plan is
developed for each patient, and each patients
treatment is overseen by a coordinator who also
provides the patients assessment to the
treatment team. The treatment team members are
experts in the treatment of eating issues and are
knowledgeable in designing the goals for each
patient.
