Treatments for eating disorders can occur in the following settings:
-
Inpatient hospitalization: This setting is often used for individuals who are severely impacted by their eating disorder and require intensive care and supervision.
-
Outpatient care with counseling: Many individuals receive treatment through outpatient programs, which may involve regular sessions with therapists or dietitians while allowing them to live at home.
The option in home care without counseling is typically not a standard treatment setting for eating disorders, as effective treatment generally includes some form of counseling or support, even if it's provided in a home environment. Therefore, that option may not be considered a recognized treatment setting.
