Eating Disorder Treatment Process
Rader Programs helps you design the eating disorder treatment that works best for your life. We offer a variety of programs tailored to your individual needs. Our inpatient eating disorder facility accommodates patients with 24-hour care and an interdisciplinary staff specialized in eating disorder treatment. Our daycare sessions cater to patients who can function within their usual home environment but are looking for a structured daily program for eating disorder treatment. The continuing care program offers professionally supervised care to patients who have progressed through inpatient or daycare and need a little extra help structuring their new, healthier lifestyle. The outpatient facility allows minimal disruption to daily life, using one nightly meeting a week to provide additional support to those integrating an eating disorder treatment plan into their lives beyond the clinic. Our family program also assists patients in restructuring and maintaining strong family relationships through weekend sessions with significant others.
Upon admission to the program, a complete one-on-one assessment process begins.
The assessments include:

From these evaluations, an individualized treatment plan is developed, which sets
the path for the specific direction of the treatment. The treatment team meets weekly
to discuss and update each individual's treatment plan. We believe the individual
is an integral part of the treatment team, and is included in setting and redirecting
the treatment process. Aspects of individualized eating disorder treatment include:
