The Emily Program Douglas - Durham

The Emily Program specializes in the treatment of eating disorders, committed to ensuring that everyone has access to high-quality care and the necessary resources for sustainable recovery. They provide a range of services, including around-the-clock inpatient care and outpatient programs across several states. Patients can choose between in-person and online treatment options. Their multidisciplinary teams are dedicated to empowering individuals and families with the essential skills needed to support ongoing recovery in their daily lives. Initiating recovery can feel daunting. The Emily Program approaches each patient based on their unique situation, guiding them through the process step by step. They provide customized treatment plans for children, teens, and adults of any gender, whether through in-person or virtual sessions. Their objective remains consistent: to deliver the most effective treatment to clients and their families, maximizing the likelihood of successful outcomes. Care teams consisting of therapists, dietitians, and healthcare professionals address every facet of this multifaceted condition. Typical treatment modalities encompass individual and group therapy, focusing on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), nutrition guidance, and skills-building exercises. Patients examine their relationships with food and their bodies through therapeutic meals and engaging activities such as mindfulness and art therapy. Academic coordinators support school-age patients in maintaining their educational pursuits while receiving treatment. The Emily Program has facilities in Minnesota, Washington, Ohio, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Georgia. The Emily Program’s extensive eating disorder assessments enable them to identify the most appropriate level of care for each individual. They offer a full spectrum of care options across the United States, which includes inpatient, residential, partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programs (PHP/IOP), as well as outpatient sessions. Most locations provide both in-person and virtual treatment possibilities. Inpatient care serves as the highest level of support and is often the initial step for those requiring medical stabilization. Residential care caters to individuals who are stable but need constant behavioral and medical oversight. Intensive programs (PHP/IOP) strike a balance, offering more structure and support than standard outpatient programs while allowing greater independence than 24/7 care. Outpatient services represent the least intensive form of care, fostering a nurturing atmosphere to support ongoing recovery. The Emily Program champions a "Can Eat" Culture, promoting the idea that patients can positively alter their eating disorder behaviors through supported meals with staff assistance. They embrace the inclusion of all food types and uphold a non-judgmental attitude regarding food choices. Their in-person programs are conducted in a friendly and inclusive setting. The multidisciplinary staff at The Emily Program share a unified passion and mission inspired by a collaborative care community, adhering to best clinical practices across all service levels. Their treatment approach is tailored to meet patients at any stage of their recovery journey, equipping them and their support networks with the tools necessary for enduring recovery. The admissions team at The Emily Program is available to assist clients and their families in getting started. Their hours of operation are Monday through Thursday from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM ET, Friday from 8:00 AM to 7:30 PM ET, and Saturday and Sunday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM.

The Emily Program collaborates with numerous insurance providers to ensure that its services are available to a diverse group of individuals.
