Frequently Asked Questions about the CPC Day Program

How long does treatment take?

The eating disorder treatment process is different for each patient based on his or her specific needs and customized accordingly.  We have patients who are in treatment with us anywhere from 1 month to 1 year.  We require a minimum of four weeks in our Day Program during which time our treatment team including therapists, nutritionists, psychiatrists and internists works in constant collaboration with our patients to shape treatment goals and objectives and monitor progress toward the elimination of eating disorder symptoms.  To ensure stable, lasting change, our goal is to see our patients free of eating disorder symptoms before they transition to a less intensive level of care. Once stable, we begin to reduce the therapeutic structure and support our patients’ full re-integration back into their lives.  CPC provides multiple tiers of treatment, enabling our patients to slowly and steadily transition from the intensive structure of our Extended Day Program and Day Program, through our Transition Program, to full autonomy, while maintaining consistent ties to one’s core treatment team.
