Partial hospitalization maybe either a "step down" approach from the inpatient
program or a "step up" from outpatient care.
UI Health Care opened the partial hospitalization program in 1995 to complement
existing eating disorder programs. From breakfast through dinner, this program
incorporates the treatment methods from the inpatient program, allowing the
patient to go home for the evening and weekends.
Partial hospitalization treatment includes meal prescriptions, cognitive behavioral
group therapy, social work intervention, medical support, psychopharmacology,
dietary guidance and occupational, recreational and educational programs.
