Is support available when clients have completed the Intensive Recovery Program?

Recognizing that recovery from eating disorders is a long-term process, we offer a
comprehensive After Care Program for clients who have successfully completed the Day Program.

According to their Individualized After Care Plan, clients return to the Recovery Day Program each week for some of their meals, and for pre- and post-meal group support. Clients continue regular visits with our Medical Director for monitoring of physical and psychological well being.

Clients in our After Care Program are encouraged to be involved in their recovery community, and particularly to work with newcomers, since such involvement strengthens and enhances their personal recovery.

What help is available to family members of clients?

Our staff provides family members with information on eating disorders and the recovery process in our Program. Recognizing the tremendous impact that eating disorders can have on families, our staff is also available to provide support to families. As well, appropriate referrals are made to other community resources that might be of assistance to family members. Our clients may invite family members and friends to their monthly recovery celebrations.
