About
Backcountry Wellness, situated in Greenwich, Connecticut, specializes in extensive outpatient programs aimed at teenagers and young adults facing eating disorders, including anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, and avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID). Their outpatient services are specifically designed to cater to the individual needs of each client, facilitating recovery while enabling them to manage their everyday responsibilities.
This immersive, full-day program creates a structured setting where clients participate in individual, group, and family therapy sessions, as well as nutritional counseling, meal support, and holistic approaches like yoga and sound healing. The objective is to help clients achieve a healthy lifestyle devoid of disordered eating behaviors.
For young individuals who require daily support yet can reside at home, the Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) features after-school sessions that encompass therapy, nutritional advice, and educational support. This program is intended to assist clients in embedding recovery skills into their daily routines.
Backcountry Wellness also conducts meal support groups on-site, providing practical coaching that fosters confidence and independence in eating habits within a nurturing community.
For newcomers, alumni, or those in need of occasional assistance, tailored therapy sessions with a diverse team of professionals are offered. These sessions are aimed at cultivating the skills necessary for a healthy and balanced life, with adaptable scheduling to fit personal obligations.
By providing a range of outpatient choices, alongside residential treatment at their nearby location and virtual care alternatives, Backcountry Wellness guarantees that individuals receive customized support that aligns with their recovery objectives while still managing their daily lives.
