Laurel Hill Inn Evening Treatment Program
The Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is designed for individuals seeking additional support in their recovery process from an eating disorder. Intensive Outpatient Programming is ideal for people who may be new to treatment, need more treatment than their outpatient team can provide, or for individuals who are transitioning from a higher level of care. The focus of the program is on the development of healthy coping skills through evidenced-based behavioral treatments.
