Reclaim your Direction
Eating disorders leave both you and your loved ones feeling alone and isolated. But you are not alone.
OUR DAY TREATMENT PROGRAM
Freedom from an eating disorder means unwinding its roots within your life.
Too often, overwhelm, ambivalence, and lack of specialized support stands in the way of recovery. But no matter how many attempts at recovery you have made, complete recovery is absolutely possible with the right care.
As eating disorder specialists, we are experts at navigating treatment and helping you do the same.

Enhance your Treatment With PHP
Many BALANCE clients choose to take advantage of our efficacious outpatient treatment options. Each of our BALANCE programs can be utilized as a stand-alone treatment or as part of a holistic and integrative treatment plan.
To best support lasting recovery, we recommend that clients step down through our levels of care in sequential steps. At BALANCE, clients can move from our PHP into our IOP program and then, as behaviors become less and less frequent, to the Saturday program.
After completing these more intensive programmatic steps, our clients can continue with individual services, providing a seamless continuum of care.
Research tells us the best outcomes are achieved by moving through our sequential Continuum of Care.
