Without the structure of a typical work or school day, stepping down from treatment, or even just taking on the weekend without a support network can be scary.
It’s possible you need additional support. Our Saturday and Sunday eating disorder treatment add-ons could be the solution. Seeking care at BALANCE means finding freedom and relief on the other side of your eating disorder. Why?
BECAUSE FULL AND LASTING RECOVERY IS POSSIBLE.
Utilize your Saturday or Sunday mornings to access treatment in the heart of Manhattan.
Our Saturday and Sunday treatment offerings are designed to offer the support you need wherever you are in your journey to recovery and can serve as:
“BALANCE did not only help me better myself mentally, physically, and emotionally, but I can also confidently say that this saved my life.”
— Former BALANCE Client
Expand and enrich your recovery journey with BALANCE’s Saturday or Sunday programming. Our unique weekend programming was developed to provide three distinct levels of support– As an add-on to our other programs, as a step-down from higher levels of care, and as a step-up to help sustain recovery.
The convenient weekend schedule allows you to continue treatment and day-to-day commitments while building the confidence and purpose you need to pursue a peaceful relationship with food and your body.
Maintain your healing momentum while taking advantage of all New York City offers.
Gain a fresh perspective on life with a holistic and diverse treatment schedule supervised by licensed Master’s-level clinicians.
While in the program, your recovery team will customize your treatment plan to meet your individual needs and will support you in overcoming triggers.
This immersive program supports you in purposely shifting from painful, limiting thoughts and behaviors toward a life free of an eating disorder.
Many BALANCE clients choose to take advantage of our effective 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 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 or Sunday eating disorder treatment program.
After completing these more intensive programmatic steps, our clients can then 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.
