Frequently Asked Questions about the CPC Day Program

Can I work while I'm in treatment?

It would be difficult and not advisable to maintain a job or heavy academic schedule while attending our Day Program. While evening hours may be unscheduled and open for other activities (except for those pts augmenting their Day Program with our Extended Evening Program), the therapeutic work throughout the day is challenging and quite tiring. It is critical in the early stages of recovery for treatment to be a clear and uninterrupted priority. As our patients progress through the treatment process and relinquish eating disorder symptom use in a stable fashion, professional, academic and personal pursuits are both supported and encouraged as these elements are central to building a full, healthy life.
