U-M Comprehensive Eating Disorders Program
The U-M Comprehensive Eating Disorders Program Team
The University of Michigan Comprehensive Eating Disorders Program provides individualized, compassionate, evidence-based care for patients age 8-24 with eating disorders.
We recognize that eating disorders are complicated illnesses caused by genetic, psychological and psychosocial factors, and that neither our patients nor their families are responsible for having developed an eating disorder.
Our program was designed to honor the importance of families in the recovery process, and is built on the principles of family-based treatment, also known as the Maudsley Approach, adapted for both partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient treatment settings.
We provide a safe and therapeutic environment where nutritional restoration and behavior change can occur. Our focus is to help patients, families, and others recognize their own strengths and empower them to take control of symptoms.
Comprehensive Treatment
Our program specializes in care for patients age 8-24 with the following conditions:
- Anorexia nervosa
- Bulimia nervosa
- Eating Disorders Not Otherwise Specified (patients who do not meet all the strict criteria for anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa but have problematic eating-related behaviors or thoughts that significantly affect their health and functioning)
- Atypical Eating Disorders (includes a wide range of disordered eating, particularly in younger patients, that does not fit neatly into the traditional classification of eating disorders)
We offer multiple levels of treatment to best meet the needs of each individual patient. These levels include:
- Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
- Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
- Inpatient Hospitalization
We also coordinate and provide referrals to families in need of residential treatment, or outpatient, continued recovery treatment services for patients who have graduated from our treatment programs. Learn more about these various levels of care.
