Frequently Asked Questions about the CPC Day Program

Does my family get involved in my treatment? 

Although we do believe that family work is a valuable component in each individual’s recovery from an eating disorder, we also believe that every treatment must be individualized, matching the needs and preferences of each patient.  Although some individuals participate in weekly family therapy, others find that only periodic family sessions are most beneficial.  At times, we may also offer to meet with parents independently to provide psychoeducaiton and to assist in deepening a family’s understanding of their son’s/daughter’s eating disorder.  As with all of our interventions at CPC, the frame for our family work is established with flexibility and commitment to meeting the individual needs of each patient and family.
